Answers Database Cable - MultiLINX Cable Drive strength capabilities and specifications Record #8098 Problem Title: Cable - MultiLINX Cable Drive strength capabilities and specifications Problem Description: Urgency: standard Problem description: What is the maximum load that MultiLINX can drive? What are the voltage characteristics? Solution 1: The MultiLINX cable was designed as a configuration prototyping tool for 1 to 4 Xilinx programmable logic devices, which are connected using the MultLINX's flying wires. If you need the MultiLINX cable to drive a large number of loads, its best to use buffers to maintain the MultiLINX signal integrity. The worst-case load for each of the MultiLINX flying wires: max capacitive load: 100pF max pullup resistance: 500 ohms max pulldown resistance 5000 ohms Solution 2: 3.3V and 5V Vih,Vil,Voh,Vol Vih(min) = 1.65V Vih(max) = 5V Vil(min) = 0V Vil(max) = 1.5V Voh(min) = 2.4V Voh(max) = 5V Vol(min) = 0V Vol(max) = 0.4V Solution 3: 2.5V Vih,Vil,Voh,Vol Voh(max) = 2.5V Voh(min) = 2..0V Vol(max) = 0.4V Vol(min) = 0V Vih(max) = 5V Vih(min) = 1.65V Vil(max) = 1.5V Vil(min) = 0V End of Record #8098 - Last Modified: 01/26/00 15:07
