Description

The tiny Artix-7 FPGA Module is an out-of-the-box feature FPGA board with only 5 cm x 5 cm dimensions. It is ready for use by simply connecting a power supply and programming the FPGA or the 64 Mbit SPI flash via the standard Xilinx JTAG connector. The board operates with a wide input voltage range from 5 V up to 17 VDC sourced either by the screw terminal or pin 1 from the PT header (26 pos. male header). The module provides 36 general purpose IOs (GPIOs) through two easily accessible pin headers. Some of the inputs can be used for analog-to-digital conversion with a sample rate of up to 1 MSPS and a resolution of 12 bit (built-in Xilinx XADC module).

For connecting auxiliary modules to the connectors, the board includes hardware-selectable power pins. Further, the tiny FPGA module has four programmable LEDs (one green and one red LED, two blue LEDs) and four micro switches for user interactions. On the board is a stable 100 MHz system clock source for the FPGA, but which also can be clocked from external sources via the connectors. Finally, the board offers all basic functions for many FPGA applications on a tiny footprint without the need for an additional carrier board.
