Waxwing Spartan 6 Mini Module

1.Introduction

Waxwing is an easy to use FPGA module featuring Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA. This module features the Xilinx XC6SLX series FPGA in the CSG324 package. This module takes care of FPGA, Configuration, DDR and power so you can invest more time and effort on your application-specific aspects of the hardware development. The module is pre-populated with 512Mb DDR memory and 128Mb SPI flash for FPGA configuration. A large number of IOs and important signals including JTAG are available on the high pin count low profile connectors (DF40C-90DP) on the backside. Numato has made available carrier boards and development boards that can be used for evaluation and development with this FPGA module. At only 40mm x 36.5mm size, this module packs a lot of power in such a small footprint. Customization services are available for OEM customers. Please contact us for more details.
