Key Features
Overview
The Tag-Connect TC-XILINX6-M simplifies connecting Xilinx 14-pin 2mm programmer cables (like Digilent JTAG-HS2/HS3) to a minimal 6-pin footprint using the TC2030-IDC interface. Its primary role is for FPGA and CPLD in-system programming or debugging during design, prototype, or low-volume production. The adapter enables fast switching between boards without repeated cable insertions and minimises physical PCB footprint. It is part of the broader Tag-Connect line of programming accessories, alongside similar solutions such as the TC2050-XILINX-M (for 10-pin cables) and TC-XILINX6 (male version for USB II cables). See all related adapters at the Tag-Connect DSP/FPGA/CPLD Adapters catalogue or browse the complete Tag-Connect collection for alternative options.

Questions and Answers
-
Will This Adapter Fit the Xilinx Platform Cable USB II DLC10?
No. The Platform Cable USB II (DLC10) has a male 14-pin header, so it needs the TC-XILINX6, which has the matching female connector.
Adapter Use it with TC-XILINX6-M (this adapter) Programming cables with a female 2 mm 14-pin header, such as Digilent JTAG-HS2 and JTAG-HS3 TC-XILINX6 Xilinx Platform Cable USB II (DLC10), male 14-pin header See how to use Tag-Connect cables with the Xilinx Platform Cable.
-
Can This Be Used for Production Programming?
Yes, for both prototyping and production programming. Use legged cables for development and no-legs cables for short production operations.
-
How Is Pinout Mapped From Xilinx to Tag-Connect?
Tag-Connect gives the pinout on the product page. The pin order is Tag-Connect's TC2030 order, and the pins carry both JTAG and SPI/configuration names.
TC2030 pin Signals 1 VREF 2 TMS / SS / PROG 3 TDI / MOSI / DIN 4 TCK / SCLK / CCLK 5 GND 6 TDO / MISO / DONE -
Is It Compatible with non-Tag-Connect Programming Cables?
Its output is a 6-pin (2x3) 0.1 in header intended for TC2030-IDC and TC2030-IDC-NL cables. Tag-Connect notes it can also be used by anyone who wants a 6-pin 0.1 in ribbon header on their PCB instead of the native 2 mm 14-pin header.
-
Does It Need Any Drivers or Software?
No drivers are required; it’s purely a passive hardware adapter.
-
What Does the TC-XILINX6-M Adapter Do?
It converts a standard Xilinx 2mm 14-pin JTAG connector to a compact 6-pin 0.1” TC2030-IDC interface for easy board access.
-
Which Programming Cables Is This Adapter Compatible With?
It works with Digilent JTAG-HS2, JTAG-HS3 and other Xilinx-compatible cables that use a female 14-pin header.
-
Can the TC-XILINX6-M Be Used with “No Legs” Tag-Connect Cables?
Yes, it works with both TC2030-IDC (with legs) and TC2030-IDC-NL (no legs) cables.
-
Is a Tag-Connect Cable Included?
No, only the adapter is supplied. Cables must be purchased separately.
