The ideal platform to evaluate Spartan-3 1500 and 2000 FPGAs.
The Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. Xilinx Spartan-3 1500/2000
development platforms are complete solutions for evaluating Xilinx
Spartan-3 XC3S1500 and XC3S2000 FPGAs. Each board is a complete
development environment, allowing you to evaluate multiple
system designs on a single platform.
For industrial and automotive applications, the system board
includes the ST Microelectronics L9616 CAN 2.0B physical layer
device, which when coupled with the Bosch-certified CAN core
(available from Nu Horizons) will get you well on your way to developing
applications with the MicroBlaze soft-processor core. The
external Ethernet controller allows you to create and evaluate CAN-to-Ethernet gateways.
With the addition of plug-in evaluation modules from Linear
Technology, you can utilize analog-to-digital converters with
10/12/14-bit resolution and sampling rates from 10 to 135 Msps.
Plug-in evaluation modules from Intersil allow you to utilize digital-to-analog converters with 8/10/12/14-bit resolution and throughput
rates of 130 to 260 MHz – for use in applications such as
medical imaging, 3G-4G base stations, and spectral analysis.
The Spartan-3 family from Xilinx has all of the features necessary
for today’s most demanding high-performance applications. Nu
Horizons’ Spartan-3 development platforms provide the exact hardware
to develop and test to these requirements and meet your time-to-market expectations.
