Arty S7-50 Board with Spartan-7 FPGA

Digilent offers a size, performance, and cost optimized FPGA development board perfect for makers and hobbyists

Image of Digilent's Arty S7-50 Board with Xilinx Spartan-7 FPGADigilent's Arty S7-50 board features the Xilinx Spartan-7 FPGA and is a member of the Arty family for makers and hobbyists. The Spartan-7 FPGA offers the most size, performance, and cost-conscious design engineered with the latest technologies from Xilinx and is fully compatible with Vivado Design Suite. Putting this FPGA in the Arty form factor provides users with a wide variety of I/O and expansion options. Use the dual row Arduino® connectors to mount one of the hundreds of hardware compatible shields available, or use the Pmod™ ports with Digilent's premade Pmod IP blocks for a more streamlined design experience. Arty S7-50 was designed to be MicroBlaze™ Soft Processor ready and comes out of the box ready to use with the Xilinx free WebPack. Additionally, with the on-chip analog-to-digital converter, users can configure up dual conversion channels at 12-bits of resolution on Arty S7-50.
