LFE3-95EA-PCIE-DKN

The LFE3-95EA-PCIE-DKN is a development kit for LatticeECP3 LFE3-95EA-FN672 FPGA. As PCI express applications have emerged, the LatticeECP3 FPGA has become a well suited solution for many system designs. The features of the LatticeECP3 PCI express solutions board can assist engineers with rapid prototyping and testing their designs. The board is an enhanced form factor of the PCI express add in card specification. The LatticeECP3 PCI express solutions board is ready to power on. The board can be supplied with power from an AC wall type transformer power supply shipped with the board. Or it can be supplied from a bench top supply via terminal screw connections. This board is equipped to communicate directly as an add on card to a PCI Express host. It is designed with edge fingers (CN1 or CN2) that fit directly into a PCI Express host receptacle. Power can be supplied directly from the PCI Express host via the edge-finger connections.
