Spartan-3E Xilinx FPGA XC3S500E Development Board

Spartan-3E Xilinx FPGA XC3S500E Development Board

3S500E is an FPGA development board that consists of the mother board DVK600 and the FPGA core board Core3S500E. Open3S500E supports further expansion with various optional accessory boards for specific application. The modular and open design makes it the ideal for starting application development with XILINX Spartan-3E series FPGA devices.
