The TE0320 is an industrial-grade FPGA micromodule integrating a leading-edge Xilinx Spartan-3A DSP FPGA, a USB 2.0 microcontroller, 32-bit wide 128 MByte DDR RAM, 4 MByte Flash memory for configuration and operation, and powerful switch-mode power supplys for all on-board voltages. A large number of configurable I/Os is provided via robust board-to-board (B2B) connectors.

All this on a tiny footprint, smaller than a credit card, at the most competitive price. Hardware and software development environment as well as reference designs are available free of charge.
