Basys 3 Artix 7 FPGA board from Digilent
The Basys 3 board is a complete, ready-to-use digital circuit development platform based on the latest Artix®-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Xilinx®. With its high-capacity FPGA (Xilinx part number XC7A35T-1CPG236C),low overall cost, and collection of USB, VGA, and other ports, the Basys 3can host designs ranging from introductory combinational circuits to complex sequential circuits like embedded processors and controllers. It includes enough switches, LEDs,and other I/O devices to allow a large number of designs to be completed without the need for any additional hardware, and enough uncommitted FPGA I/O pins to allow designs to be expanded using Digilent Pmods or other custom boards and circuits.The Artix-7 FPGA is optimized for high performance logic, and offers more capacity, higher performance,and more resources than earlier designs. Artix-7 35T features include:
- 33,280 logic cells in 5200 slices (each slice contains four6-input LUTs and 8 flip-flops)
- 1,800 Kbits of fast block RAM
- Five clock management tiles, eachwith a phase-locked loop (PLL)
- 90 DSP slices•Internal clock speeds exceeding 450MHz
- On-chip analog-to-digital converter (XADC)
The Basys 3 also offers an improved collection of ports and peripherals, including:
- 16 user switches
- 16 user LEDs
- 5 user pushbuttons
- 4-digit 7-segment display
- Three Pmod ports
- Pmod for XADC signals
- •12-bit VGA output
- USB-UART Bridge
- Serial Flash
- Digilent USB-JTAG port for FPGA programming and communication
- USB HID Host for mice, keyboards and memory sticks
