Overview
P&E’s USB Multilink Universal FX is the latest high-speed addition to P&E’s 

successful line of USB Multilink hardware interfaces. It combines support, 

in a single interface, for many Freescale architectures, including: Kinetis

HC16/683xx. It includes all the features of the USB Multilink Universal, plus 

these additional benefits:

*The exceptional performance increases seen with the USB Multilink Universal FX are limited to synchronous architec-

tures: Kinetis, Qorivva, Coldfire V2-V4, Power Architecture PX Series, DSC, HC16/683xx.

The USB Multilink Universal FX is an easy-to-use debug and programming

interface which allows the PC to communicate with a target processor through 

a high-speed USB interface to the PC. It controls the microprocessor by ac-

cessing the debug port of the target. The Multilink is able to accommodate 

communications 

with a variety of 

Freescale MCUs 

by featuring 

multiple head-

ers, which can 

be accessed by 

simply flipping 

open the plastic 

case. Ribbon ca-

bles for the sup-

ported MCUs 

are conveniently 

included.

Development Solutions
The USB Multilink Universal FX’s exceptional speed and reliability make it ideal 

for development. It is natively supported by recent versions of CodeWarrior

® 

(10.x), current P&E software applications, and toolchains from many Freescale 

partners including Keil, Cosmic, and Green Hills (check with vendor for device 

compatibility).
