Overview

Powerful industrial grade micromodule contains Spartan-3E FPGA, DDR Memory and USB 2.0 Microcontroller

The FPGA Micromodule integrates a leading-edge Spartan-3E 1600K gates FPGA, an USB2.0 microcontroller, DDR Ram, configuration Flash and power supply on a tiny footprint. A large number of configurable I/Os are provided via shock proof B2B mini-connectors.
Thus, the Micromodule is ideally suited for battery-powered and small-sized applications.

It is intended to be used as an OEM board, or combined with our carrier boards, the micromodule serves as a powerful system widely used for educational and research activities.

Boards with other configurations, or equipped with industrial temperature grade parts are available on request

Software for SPI Flash programming over USB, as well as reference designs for high speed data transfer over USB are included.
