FPGA USB Hardware Modules

 

Orange Tree's FPGA USB hardware modules are ideally suited to interconnect between a host and a real-time embedded system. The ZestSC1 and ZestSC2 boards feature high density Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGAs and the Cypress EZ-USB FX2 USB microcontroller.

 

The ZestSC1 and ZestSC2 boards are used across a variety of applications including semiconductor prototyping and demonstration, industrial control systems, high volume data acquisition (DAQ) and Intellectual Property development

  • High performance with best-in-class sustained data rates of 40MB/s
  • Easy to use out of the box solutions
  • Comprehensive software support
  • On-board SDRAM and optional SRAM
  • Lots of I/O for maximum versatility
  • Configuration of FPGA over USB (and from on-board Flash for ZestSC2)
  • Rapidly process data on the fly
  • Interface to external equipment to control and/or acquire data from it
  • Interface to a host computer for storing and visualising the data and for controlling the application

Created by design engineers for design engineers the ZestSC1 and ZestSC2 work out of the box. The boards let the designer focus on the application, not struggling with bringing up the hardware. Each board is supplied with comprehensive software to enable communications with the host operating system and also example IP cores for the FPGA interfaces to on-board chips.

Application Acceleration

 

The High Performance Computing (HPC) community faces the challenge of delivering improved price/performance, increased performance density and reducing the power consumption of clusters and data centres.

 

Increasingly the use of FPGA based co-processors is viewed as a realistic and affordable strategy to address the power/performance mismatch. The Zest100 board is a part of that strategy by providing high performance processing and I/O capabilities coupled with lower power consumption, standards conformity and ease of design.
