Agilex™ 3 FPGA C-Series Development Kit
Agilex™ 3 FPGA C-Series development kit is a small form factor, power-efficient board targeting embedded design applications, such as Industrial, Surveillance, Retail, Consumer, Video, and Medical.
This kit comes in a tabletop form factor with an optional daughter card to plug into the PCIe 3.0 x1 slot. It is packed with a robust set of features and connectors designed to meet your edge and embedded applications.
The features include:
- DisplayPort 1.4 digital display interface connector with enough bandwidth to handle a 4K UHD stream at up to 120Hz with 24-bit/px color or a 5K display at up to 60Hz with 30-bit/px color. It even supports 8K video.
- Two MIPI interface connectors for mobile device cameras and displays, and a wide range beyond that, especially for image transmission in FA and in-vehicle equipment.
- PCIe 3.0 x1 connectivity to plug into a host system through a daughtercard.
- 2x LPDDR4 2GB combines performance, power, latency, and physical space, making it energy-efficient and suitable for battery-operated applications and ultra-portables.
- Connectivity to additional peripherals and devices through Raspberry Pi 4/5 HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) add-on boards.
- Interface with a line of small I/O interface boards that allow sensitive signal conditioning circuits and high-power drive circuits to be placed where they are most effective - near sensors and actuators through the Pmod connector.
