XMS6301 Breakout Board

The XMS6301 is a USB 3.0 integration module based on the remarkably-capable Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA. In addition to a high gate-count FPGA, the XMS6301 utilizes the high transfer rate of USB 3.0 for configuration downloads, enabling speedy FPGA configuration and data transfer. With integrated SDRAM, power supplies, and platform flash, the XMS6301 is a worthy addition to Pionway’s most popular form-factor.

Pionway SDK

Pionway SDK is an easy-to-use, robust API for communication, configuration, and interfacing to your PC. Pionway SDK handles all the interaction between your software and the FPGA internals, dramatically reducing the time and effort required to interface to a design.

Prototyping and OEM Integration

Pionway FPGA integration modules are designed to be the ideal turnkey solution for prototypes and OEM product integration. With the complete Pionway SDK, there’s simply no faster, more reliable, production-ready way to jump start your FPGA design.


Block Diagram

256 MiB DDR3

Integrated 128-MiByte DDR2 provides plenty of on-board memory for high-performance applications, including image capture and data acquisition.

HIGH-EFFICIENCY POWER SUPPLIES

High-efficiency switching power supplies provide stable, dependable power to the FPGA. In most applications, there is enough extra juice to also supply your board.

SUPERSPEED USB 3.0

Measured performance at over 340 MiB/s for real-world data transfers to/from the PC.

BOOTABLE SERIAL FLASH (2x 8 MiB)

The XMS6301 integrates 8 MiB of on-board serial Flash for standalone FPGA booting and miscellaneous nonvolatile memory and a separate 8 MiB serial Flash for exclusive FPGA use.
