The ZEM4310 is a USB 3.0 FPGA development board based on the Altera Cyclone IV FPGA. In addition to a high gate-count FPGA, the ZEM4310 utilizes the high transfer rate of USB 3.0 for configuration downloads, enabling speedy FPGA configuration and data transfer. With integrated SDRAM, power supplies, and platform flash, the ZEM4310 is in good company with our existing Xilinx modules.
