All Opal Kelly XEM devices come with high-speed USB 2.0 connections and the flexible and powerful FrontPanel software and SDK.
XEM3050
With an equivalent capacity of 4 million gates, the XEM3050 is a powerhouse, great for co-processing and other gate-intensive designs.
XEM3010
The XEM3010 has on-board everything: memory, power supplies, high density connectors, a multi-PLL, and a large Spartan-3 FPGA.
XEM3005
The XEM3005 is a small module with a large Spartan-3E FPGA, on-board memory, and high density connectors. To reduce size, cost, and to increase flexibility, no on-board power supplies are provided except +2.5VDD.
XEM3001
Bus powered by default and utilizing multiple 0.1″ headers, the XEM3001 is the easiest XEM to use.
