Multilink Models & Features

Models

There are 3 models of Multilink:

MULTILINK ACP  MULTILINK UNIVERSAL LC  MULTILINK UNIVERSAL FX

Standard Features

All Multilink debug probes offer these standard features:

  • USB interface from PC to Multilink allows for fast, easy programming and debugging — with the ease and compatibility of the USB interface.
  • Draws power from USB interface– no separate power supply required (draws less than 1mA from the target).
  • Works with target voltage: 1.8V-5.25V
  • Supports JTAG daisy chaining of multiple ARM MCUs
  • ARM device support includes both the JTAG and SWD protocols
  • Includes USB cable, Type A Male to Type B Male, 6-ft.

“Universal” Features

MULTILINK UNIVERSAL LC  and  MULTILINK UNIVERSAL FX  also include these features:

  • Pipelined programming algorithms for some Power Architecture families that dramatically increase programming speed.
  • Auto-frequency detection + trimming capabilities for HCS08 devices
  • Auto-frequency detection for HC(S)12(X) devices.
  • Generates programming voltage on RESET line for RS08 devices.
  • Target Frequency: 16Khz-50Mhz (applies to HCS08, RS08, CFV1, S12Z, or HCS12X only)

Advanced Features

MULTILINK UNIVERSAL FX  supports these additional advanced features:

  • High-speed USB interface from PC to Multilink allows for fast, easy programming and debugging — up to 10X faster than the other Multilink models.
  • Can be used to power target MCU:
    • Target Voltage: 3.3V, 5.0V
  • I/O line clamping for added protection

Multilink Universal FX Performance Note

The exceptional performance increases seen with the USB Multilink Universal FX are limited to synchronous architectures: ARM devices, Kinetis, S32, MPC55xx-577xx (& STMicroelectronics SPC5), Coldfire V2-V4, DSC, MPC5xx/8xx, and HC16/683xx.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What are the key features of the USB-ML-ACP debug probe?

The USB-ML-ACP offers a USB interface for fast programming and debugging, draws power from the USB, supports target voltages from 1.8V-5.25V, and includes JTAG daisy chaining and support for both JTAG and SWD protocols for ARM devices.

2 How do the different Multilink models (ACP, Universal LC, Universal FX) compare?

All Multilink models share standard features like a USB interface and broad target voltage support. The Universal LC and FX add advanced programming algorithms and auto-frequency detection. The Universal FX further distinguishes itself with a high-speed USB interface, the ability to power the target MCU, and I/O line clamping for enhanced performance and protection.

3 Can the Multilink debug probes power the target MCU?

Only the MULTILINK UNIVERSAL FX model has the capability to power the target MCU, supporting target voltages of 3.3V or 5.0V. The other Multilink models draw power from the USB interface and less than 1mA from the target, not providing power to the target MCU.

4 Which architectures benefit most from the high-speed performance of the Multilink Universal FX?

The exceptional performance increases of the USB Multilink Universal FX are primarily observed with synchronous architectures. These include ARM devices, Kinetis, S32, MPC55xx-577xx (& STMicroelectronics SPC5), Coldfire V2-V4, DSC, MPC5xx/8xx, and HC16/683xx.
