Evaluation Boards - Embedded - Complex Logic (FPGA, CPLD)

Evaluation boards for embedded complex logic, including FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) and CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) systems, are essential tools for engineers and developers working on high-performance digital design, prototyping, and validation. These boards provide a flexible, reconfigurable hardware platform for implementing custom logic, signal processing, and embedded control applications.

This category includes development kits, evaluation modules, and reference designs featuring FPGAs (e.g., Xilinx, Intel/Altera, Lattice, Microchip) and CPLDs, along with necessary peripherals such as memory, interfaces (USB, Ethernet, PCIe), and debugging tools. These boards support HDL (VHDL, Verilog) and high-level synthesis (HLS) workflows, enabling rapid iteration for industries like telecommunications, automotive, AI acceleration, and industrial automation.

Buying Recommendations:
1. Application Focus Choose FPGA boards with sufficient logic elements (LEs), DSP slices, and I/O flexibility for your project s complexity.
2. Toolchain Compatibility Verify support for vendor-specific IDEs (Vivado, Quartus, Libero) or open-source toolchains.
3. Expandability Opt for boards with PMOD, Arduino, or FMC connectors for sensor/display integration.
4. Debugging Features Prioritize boards with JTAG, on-chip logic analyzers, or trace ports for real-time validation.
5. Cost vs. Performance Entry-level boards (e.g., Xilinx Artix-7, Intel Cyclone) suit prototyping, while high-end (Virtex, Stratix) targets high-speed processing.

Ideal for R&D teams, embedded systems engineers, and academia, these evaluation boards accelerate innovation in reconfigurable computing. Browse our selection to find the right balance of performance, scalability, and ecosystem support.
