Maxim Integrated Products announces a collection of 15 peripheral modules which plug directly into any FPGA/CPU expansion port that follows the Digilent Pmod standard. Plug-in simplicity and easy software integration allow rapid prototyping and quick migration from concept to working design. The collection is aggressively priced to allow experimentation with state-of-the-art ICs on even the most modest budget. The modules are supported by example software and FPGA configuration files for three popular FPGA platforms. Straightforward example programs demonstrate each module so the user is prototyping in minutes instead of hours.
Plug-in modules, FPGA configuration files, and example software are all included. Proven software reduces development time. The example programs are well partitioned and documented. The core routines can be easily cut and pasted, allowing the module’s functionality to be quickly integrated into a designer’s own projects. The collection includes functionality for data conversion, a digital potentiometer, real-time clock, light sensor, clock oscillator, thermal interface, communication transceivers, digital isolation, GPIO expansion, LED interface, and relay drivers and operate at -40 to +85 °C.
