Our ARM-9 CPU-modules have a preconfigured embedded FPGA already on board.

Hardware circuits that will be designed by VHSIC-code (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) can be programmed in a FPGA.

Factory-provided a FPGA contains a bus interface, so that it is possible to connect to external memory devices or controllers by an address- /databus with controllsignals by one Hirose connector on the module.
Our used FPGA also contains a 24bit TTL-I/O interface, that allows the user to drive LED displays, buttons or even relays.

You get an request to change the actually hardware design of your FPGA for new requirements.

So now you can disable the external address-/data interface an use the according I/O lines for switching mode or other functions.

• FIFO modules within the FPGA can be used for fast communication with external devices.
• PWM outputs (e.g. engine controls) can be realized.
• High speed hardware counter can be programmed in the FPGA.
