FPGA USB Boards

ZestSC2

Click for the ZestSC2 datasheet.

The ZestSC2 FPGA USB board has all the benefits of the ZestSC1 as a high performance FPGA board suitable for prototyping and production through to OEM volumes. It is ideal for data acquisition, processing and FPGA development work but is better equipped to manage more demanding tasks.

Features

• High Speed (480 Mbits/sec) USB interface offering sustained data rate of up to 40Mbytes/sec
  

• Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA with 2 or 4 million gates
  

• 32/64 MBytes of SDRAM
  

• Daughter card or ribbon cable headers with 200 pins of user I/O plus power and ground
  

• Standard 0.1” pitch connectors for maximum flexibility and integration
  

• Optional 8MBytes of pipelined ZBT SRAM
  

• FPGA configured from USB, on-board flash or JTAG
  

• Software support for Windows XP and Linux
  

Benefits

• Interface to numerous sensors and devices
  

• Out of the box solutions quick and easy to set up
  

• Fastest possible USB data transfer rate to and from the host PC
  

• Small and highly portable, with power that can be drawn entirely from USB cable if required so it can be used with a laptop for development work or ease of demonstration.
  

• Supplied with reference designs (including VHDL and Verilog source)
  

• Logic cores for all FPGA interfaces
  

• Low cost data acquisition and processing
  

• No need for external power supply, self powered from USB
  

• A daughter card can be designed to add other interfaces to equipment e.g. video, audio, communications
