Basys3 Artix-7 FPGA Board

• Ready-to-use digital circuit development platform
• Based on Artix-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
• 33,280 logic cells in 5200 slices and 1,800 Kbits of fast block RAM
• On-chip analog-to-digital converter (XADC)

The Basys3 Artix-7 FPGA Board is a complete, ready-to-use digital circuit development platform based on the latest Artix-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Xilinx. With its high-capacity FPGA (Xilinx part number XC7A35T-1CPG236C), low overall cost, and collection of USB, VGA, and other ports, the Basys3 can host designs ranging from introductory combinational circuits to complex sequential circuits like embedded processors and controllers. It includes enough switches, LEDs, and other I/O devices to allow a large number of designs to be completed without the need for any additional hardware, and enough uncommitted FPGA I/O pins to allow designs to be expanded using other custom boards and circuits.

The Artix-7 FPGA is optimized for high performance logic, and offers more capacity, higher performance, and more resources than earlier designs.
