Description
The Cmod, or Carrier Module, family of products is designed to offer quick, simple, and flexible integration of an FPGA into circuit design, prototyping, and learning/hobby projects.
The Digilent Cmod A7 is a small, 48-pin DIP form factor board built around a Xilinx® Artix®-7 FPGA that brings FPGA power and prototyping to a solderless breadboard.
The board includes a Quad-SPI flash for programming, as well as a USB-JTAG programming circuit and USB-UART bridge. The Cmod A7 also features a clock source, Pmod port, and onboard I/O with LEDs and pushbuttons. There are 44 FPGA I/O signals that are routed to 100-mil-spaced through-hole pins, making the Cmod A7 compatible with solderless breadboards. This form factor makes the Cmod A7 a great option for flexible and affordable prototyping, or learning FPGA and digital logic circuits. At just .7″ by 2.75″, it can also be loaded in a standard socket and used in embedded systems.
The Artix®-7 FPGA on the Cmod A7 provides the highest performance-per-watt fabric, transceiver line rates, DSP processing, and AMS integration for a cost-optimized FPGA. With the MicroBlaze Soft Processor Core from Xilinx, you can create embedded applications with a variety of peripherals, memory, and interfaces.
If your design does not require the transceiver lines or higher-performance of the Artix®-7 FPGA, we recommend the more affordable Cmod S7, featuring a Spartan®-7 FPGA.
Guides and demos are available to help users get started quickly with the Cmod A7. These can be found through the Support Materials tab.
