Big Capabilities, Compact Footprint
Core Series modules combine mid-range FPGAs, 32-bit wide memory, high-speed I/O, and a gigabit Ethernet PHY—all in a compact footprint smaller than a credit card. Designed for embedded systems where size matters more than peak performance, they deliver reliable compute and I/O without the bulk.
Core Series
Key Advantages at a Glance
- Compact Footprint – Same mechanical dimensions, connectors, and pinout across the family for effortless scalability.
- High-Performance I/O – Up to 132 PL HP IO, up to 14 PS MIO, high-speed transceivers, and flexible clocking.
- Mid-range SoC – Dual- or quad-core Arm processor, combined with up to 256 k system logic cells and 69 Mb on-chip RAM for moderate compute needs.
- Memory & Storage – 2-4 GB DDR4, dual SPI boot flash, onboard EEPROM with MAC address.
Family Overview
The Core Series delivers high-performance I/O in a space-saving, standardized form factor. Whether you’re working with dual- or quad-core processors, integrated GPU, or optional video codecs, you can upgrade compute power without altering your electrical or mechanical design. This modular consistency enables late-stage performance adjustments with minimal risk, keeping your timelines tight and your design future-ready.
