Semiconductor distributor, Memec, is offering the new Virtex-4 MB development kit, the first board available with the Xilinx Virtex-4 LX60 FPGA. The MB board complements the low-cost, entry-level Virtex-4 LC board released earlier. The MB board is offered in both LX25 and LX60 densities.
The Virtex-4 MB development kit provides both high-performance and practical prototype interfaces that designers can use when evaluating the Xilinx Virtex-4 LX devices, says the company. In addition, the demonstration board offers advanced users features including the new high-speed P240 expansion slot, 800 Mbps LVDS port, 32Mx16 DDR memory, 2Mx16 flash memory, 10/100 Ethernet and a System ACE interface. The MB board is the first to implement Memec's new P240 expansion slot, an enhanced interface providing both single ended and differential signalling capabilities at speeds in excess of 300 MHz.
"Memec is the first to offer designers a low-cost and versatile development board which utilises the LX60 FPGA and meets both the most basic and comprehensive of design needs," said Per Holmberg, marketing director of Virtex Solutions at Xilinx. "The high-performance capabilities of the MB board enable designers to explore the Virtex-4 family's cutting-edge features and effectively meet their time-to-market requirements."
Memec's MB development kit bundles an expandable Virtex-4 based system board with a power supply, user guide and reference designs. Optional Xilinx ISE software and application-specific P240 expansion modules are also offered.
