Galatea PCI Express Spartan 6 FPGA Development Board

Galatea PCI Express Spartan 6 FPGA Development Board

Galatea is an easy to use FPGA Development board featuring Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA with an x1 PCIe interface and two 1Gb DDR3 SDRAM devices. This board features Xilinx XC6SLX45T (or larger) – FGG484 FPGA. Two high-speed expansion connectors are available onboard for the purpose of adding additional features to the board by using custom or off-the-shelf daughter boards. A rich set of off-the-shelf expansion modules are available at our store. Galatea is shipped with a dual-port 100BASE-T Ethernet Module and an IO Expansion Module pre-installed.
