The Opal Kelly XEM6001 is an FPGA development board based on a Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA (XC6SLX16-2FTG256C). In addition to a high gate-count FPGA, the XEM6001 utilizes the high transfer rate of USB 2.0 for configuration downloads, enabling an almost instant reprogramming of the FPGA. The XEM6001 features flexible clocking with a multi-output clock generator that can generate clock frequencies from 1 MHz to 150 MHz. If higher frequencies are needed, the clock multipliers in the FPGA can be used.

The XEM6001 and other Spartan-6 products are now end-of-life. Please consider the XEM7001 (Artix-7 FPGA) as a possible migration replacement.

FRONTPANEL VIRTUAL INTERFACE

Virtual interface elements such as buttons, LEDs, and hex displays make cumbersome "I/O Boards" a thing of the past.

 SINGLE INPUT POWER

ABUNDANT I/O

86 I/Os and 6 CLK pins are all arranged on a common 0.1" grid for easy prototyping.

SUPERSPEED USB 3.0

32 Mib SPI SERIAL FLASH

A 32-Mbit SPI Serial Flash device is included for FPGA configuration or general data storage. An on-board switch lets you choose between USB or Flash for FPGA configuration, enabling full stand-alone operation. USB communication via FrontPanel is available in either mode.

2 GiB DDR4

MULTI-OUTPUT PLL

The on-board PLL provides flexible clocking to the FPGA and expansion connectors.
