Application Notes

CPLD Design Considerations
The following applications notes detail ISP design considerations for XC9500 CPLDs.

• In-System Programming Times for XC9500XL (XAPP141)
• A Quick JTAG ISP Checklist (XAPP104)
• Using In-System Programmability in Boundary-Scan Systems (XAPP070)
• In-System Programming Times for XC9500 (XAPP68)

FPGA Design Considerations
All Xilinx BSDL files have been independently verified by Intellitech. If you encounter problems with third party BSDL files, you can use these generic.bsd files instead:

• For PCs
• For UNIX
