The Opal Kelly XEM7305 is an FPGA development board based on the Xilinx Spartan-7 FPGA with over 8,000 slices (4x LUT + 8x DFF), 120 DSP slices, and 150 18Kb block RAMs. In addition to a high gate-count FPGA, the XEM7305 utilizes the high transfer rate of USB 3.0 for configuration downloads and FrontPanel communication, enabling an almost instant reprogramming of the FPGA and 356+ MB/s transfers between the FPGA and PC.

Front panel

FrontPanel® SDK

Opal Kelly’s FrontPanel SDK is an easy-to-use, robust API for communication, configuration, and interfacing to your PC, Mac or Linux hardware. FrontPanel handles all the interaction between your software and the FPGA internals, dramatically reducing the time and effort required to interface to a design.

Flash

Prototyping and OEM Integration

Opal Kelly FPGA integration modules are designed to be the ideal turnkey solution for prototypes and OEM product integration. With the complete FrontPanel SDK, there’s simply no faster, more reliable, production-ready way to jump start your FPGA design.

512 MiB DDR3 SDRAM

Integrated 512-MiByte DDR3 provides abundant on-board memory for high-performance applications, including image capture and data acquisition.

 SINGLE INPUT POWER

SUPERSPEED USB 3.0

FrontPanel firmware enables the device as a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 peripheral supporting transfer rates over 340 MiB / s.

SUPERSPEED USB 3.0

JUST ADD POWER

Power supplies are provided externally from your peripheral to reduce size and cost. This also eliminates switching supplies for noise-sensitive applications.

2 GiB DDR4

94+ EXTERNAL I/O PINS

Lots of I/O are available on two mezzanine connectors for integration with external peripheral devices including access to three VCCO bank voltages.
