Xilinx® Spartan™-II PCI Evaluation Kit

The Xilinx Spartan-II 200 PCI Development Kit provides a complete solution for developing designs and applications based on the Xilinx Spartan-II FPGA family. With support for a 32-bit PCI interface, the Spartan-II 200 PCI board is ideal for exploring PCI implementations. The kit bundles an expandable Spartan-II based system board with a power supply, user guide, and reference designs.

Also available is an optional P160 expansion modules enable further application-specific prototyping and testing. Xilinx ISE software and a JTAG cable are available as kit options.

The Spartan-II PCI system board utilizes the 200,000 gate Xilinx Spartan-II device (XC2S200-6FG456C) in the 456 fine-pitch ball grid array package. The high gate density and large number of user I/Os allow complete system solutions to be implemented in the low cost FPGA. The system board includes a 32-bit PCI interface, 2M x 32 SDRAM, two clock sources, an RS-232 port, LED displays, switches, and additional user support circuits. The board supports the Memec Design P160 expansion module standard, which allows application-specific expansion modules to be easily added to the backend side of the PCI interface.

The Spartan-II FPGA family has the advanced features needed to fit the most demanding, high volume applications. The Xilinx Spartan-II 200 PCI Evaluation Kit provides an excellent platform to explore these features and effectively meet time-to-market requirements.
