Powerful industrial grade micromodule contains Spartan-3E FPGA, DDR Memory and USB 2.0 Microcontroller

The FPGA Micromodule integrates a leading-edge Spartan-3E 1600K gates FPGA, an USB2.0 microcontroller, DDR Ram, configuration Flash and power supply on a tiny footprint. A large number of configurable I/Os are provided via shock proof B2B mini-connectors.
Thus, the Micromodule is ideally suited for battery-powered and small-sized applications.

It is intended to be used as an OEM board, or combined with our carrier boards, the micromodule serves as a powerful system widely used for educational and research activities.

Software for SPI Flash programming over USB, as well as reference designs for high speed data transfer over USB are included.
