The XEM3010 is an FPGA development board based on a 1,500,000-gateXilinx Spartan-3 FPGA (XEM3010-1500P) or 1,000,000-gate(XEM3010-1000). In addition to a high gate-count FPGA, the XEM3010 utilizes the high transfer rate of USB 2.0 for configuration downloads, enabling speedy FPGA configuration and data transfer. With integrated SDRAM, power supplies, and platform flash, the XEM3010 is the most popular Spartan-3 module.

Features

XILINX PLATFORM FLASH

If you need standalone operation, Xilinx Platform Flash can configure the FPGA on startup and still allow you to communicate over USB.

32 MiB SDRAM

Integrated 32-MByte SDRAM provides plenty of on-board memory for high-performance applications, including image capture and data acquisition.

MULTI-OUTPUT PLL

The on-board PLL provides flexible clocking to the FPGA and expansion connectors.

SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIES

High-efficiency switching power supplies provide stable, dependable power to the FPGA. In most applications, there is enough extra juice to also supply your board.
