![]() Digilent CMOD A7Īvailable in two versions, 15T and 35T, the latter having more flip-flops, LUTs, and block RAM, the CMOD A7 utilizes a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. With all the Altera FPGAâs options and functionality, it will take a while before you even come close to using it at full capacity within your design projects. In addition to this, there is also push-button functionality, which can sometimes be hard to come across. With a lot of peripherals to explore, such as SD/MMC and VGA, there are potential applications to an endless range of systems and designs incorporated in this board. ![]() Terasic has packed a lot into this board. If you canât wait, consider implementing a PolarFire FPGA into your own circuit. By incorporating 8-24 12.7GHz transceiver lanes, each operating at under 100mW per lane, low-power PCIe ports, and a network of input lookup tables using fractionable D-type flip-flops as configurable logic, the PolarFire FPGA can support up to 1,600Mbps DDR4 and 1,333Mbps DDR3 interfaces.ĭelivering low power at mid-range densities whilst being secure and reliable, the PolarFire FPGAs have been optimized for cost-effective utilization, and they are the ideal candidates for a vast range of applications such as cellular infrastructure, access networks, and commercial aviation systems, as well as Industry 4.0.Īlthough not a circuit in its own right, circuits that eventually use the PolarFire FPGA will be well worth the investment, and it wonât be too long before it hits the markets. ![]() They are built on a non-volatile 28-nanometre process technology, which enables the PolarFire FPGA to target high-speed and low-power applications. If you are an experienced engineer looking for something with a little more âoomphâ that can tackle any project, especially in areas where security is a key consideration, then Microsemiâs award-winning and recently approved-for-production Polar Fire FPGA is exactly what you need. Itâs also a great learner board, too, due to the potential for additional SD memory and Linux board support. With 1GB SDRAM, gigabit ethernet networking, and two 40-pin expansion heads, it is the ideal product for projects where there is an undefined scope. Terasicâs DE10-Nanoįeaturing an Intel chip that incorporates Coretex-AP embedded dual cores, as well as lots of programmable logic, the Terasic DE10-Nano (pictured above) has a lot of design potential when it is put up against comparable models, such as Diligentâs Arty S7 FPGA. Take a look at these three circuit boards that make great use of FPGAs, as well as one stellar FPGA in its own right, to see what product will best fit your next project. Whether you are using an FPGA as part of a live design project, testing the waters with a new idea, or still learning, it is important that you are using a robust product that can stand up to todayâs design challenges.
