Galatea PCI Express Spartan 6 FPGA - development board with Xilinx Spartan 6 XC6SLX150T

Description

Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA development board with x1 PCIe interface and two 1Gb DDR3 SDRAM memories. It is equipped with the Xilinx XC6SLX150T chip in the FGG484 housing. The user has two FX18 Hirose connectors at his disposal to add additional functions to the board using custom or ready-made expansion modules, two SATA connectors and a MicroSD card slot for data storage. The board can be powered via the PCIe connector or via an external 12 V power supply. Programming and debugging is done via JTAG or SPI. It will be used in a wide range of projects requiring data processing and acquisition as well as fast communication. It can be used as a prototyping module or an educational kit. Full documentation is available on the product page.
