Description
The "Zefant XS3" modules are versatile credit card sized FPGA systems. They are based on Xilinx Spartan3-FPGAs with 400.000 to 1.5M system gates. On the 8-layer PCB they offer a SODIMM socket for standard SDRAM modules or custom memory modules like our SRAM module. Further on there is flash memory, boot PROM, CPLD and a powerful SMPS integrated on the module.The modules are characterized by the high number of freely availably I/Os and the small footprint of only 85x55mm (3.35x2.17"). By stacking multiple modules, logic resources can be scaled easily without increasing footprint area.In addition to the modules we offer baseboards, test adapters, memory modules and more accessories.
