Alix AX7A035 ARTIX-7 FPGA Development Board User Manual
The AX7A035 is an FPGA development platform based on Xilinx's ARTIX-7 series, combining a core board with a carrier board for flexible development. The core board includes an XC7A35T FPGA, DDR3 memory, and QSPI flash, supporting high-speed data processing. The carrier board adds interfaces like PCIe x2, HDMI input/output, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB-to-Uart for connectivity and expansion. It is designed for students and engineers working with FPGA-based systems, offering robust peripherals for video, networking, and industrial applications.
The board supports multiple power sources including DC12V, PCIe, and ATX, with voltage regulation via DC/DC converters. It includes user LEDs, keys, and a fan for status indication and thermal management, controlled via FPGA I/O. The design emphasizes high-speed data transfer and compatibility with various modules through its 40-pin expansion header.
