HW-SPAR3-CPLD-DK

The Xilinx model ‘HW-SPAR3-CPLD-DK’ is a development kit for designing digital circuits using complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs). The kit features two field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) - the Spartan-3 and XC95288 CPLDs, which can be programmed to implement various circuits and interface with other digital devices.

The HW-SPAR3-CPLD-DK is designed for digital designers, engineers, and students who want to experiment with digital circuit design, embedded systems, and programmable logic devices. The kit comes with a USB cable, power supply, and a CD with design examples, software tools, and user guides. It can be used to develop custom digital circuits, test them, and integrate them into larger systems.

The Spartan-3 FPGA has 200k or 400k system gates with up to 5,840 logic cells, 16 multipliers, and 512kbit of block RAM. The XC95288 CPLD has 288 macrocells, 16kbit of SRAM, and 44 I/O pins. The kit also features a JTAG interface for programming and debugging the FPGAs and CPLDs.

The HW-SPAR3-CPLD-DK can be used for a wide range of applications, including signal processing, control systems, data acquisition, and communication systems. It can be used to develop custom logic circuits, interface with sensors and actuators, implement algorithms, and test various digital designs. The kit's flexibility and ease of use make it an excellent tool for learning digital design, developing custom digital circuits, and prototyping digital systems.
