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 is the USB-ML-UNIVERSAL and what are its primary functions?

The USB-ML-UNIVERSAL is a Multilink debug probe that connects a PC to a target MCU via USB. It facilitates fast and easy programming and debugging of various microcontrollers, supporting protocols such as JTAG and SWD.

2 What are the key differences between the Multilink models: ACP, UNIVERSAL LC, and UNIVERSAL FX?

All Multilink models offer USB connectivity and support target voltages from 1.8V-5.25V. The UNIVERSAL LC and FX models add features like pipelined programming and auto-frequency detection. The UNIVERSAL FX is the most advanced, providing up to 10X faster programming, the ability to power the target MCU (3.3V, 5.0V), and I/O line clamping.

3 Which microcontroller 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 seen with synchronous architectures. This includes ARM devices, Kinetis, S32, MPC55xx-577xx, STMicroelectronics SPC5, Coldfire V2-V4, DSC, MPC5xx/8xx, and HC16/683xx.

4 Does the Multilink debug probe require an external power supply?

No, all Multilink debug probes draw power directly from the USB interface, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. They are designed to draw less than 1mA from the target device.
