-
Low-cost
generic platform for custom application development.
-
Xilinx
Spartan-3 XC3S400-4 FPGA features 400K system gates including 288Kbit of
dual port memory and 16 dedicated 18x18 multipliers.
-
USB
2.0 interface supports signaling rates of 480 Mbit/s (High Speed) and 12
Mbit/s (Full Speed). Typical sustained data throughputs are 85 Mbit/s (HS)
and 6.5 Mbit/s (FS).
-
Supports multiple
personalities and dynamic
reconfiguration:
-
up
to 7 custom FPGA configurations can be stored in non-volatile flash
memory.
-
The
selected configuration is automatically reloaded at power up or upon
software command within 0.4 seconds.
-
Graphical
User Interface is used for remote monitoring and control over a USB link.
This includes loading the FPGA configuration file into non-volatile flash
memory.
-
This
module is interface compatible with other pre-programmed ComBlock modules
via standard 2-row 40-pin 2mm connector.
-
ComScope
–enabled: key internal signals can be captured in real-time and
displayed on host computer.
-
Development
environment includes
- Graphical user interface
- Hardware schematics
- USB Windows driver (.sys and .inf files)
- VHDL template code
- USB interface Java API and associated .jar
and .dll files
