FPGAs, or Field-Programmable Gate Arrays, are an advanced development board type for engineers and hobbyists alike to experience the next step in programming with electronics. The Au continues the trend of more affordable and increasingly powerful FPGA boards arriving each year. This board is a fantastic starting point into the world of FPGAs and the heart of your next project. Finally, now that this board is built by SparkFun, we added a Qwiic connector for easy I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC integration!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Alchitry Au features a Xilinx Artix 7 XC7A35T-1C FPGA with over 33,000 logic cells and 256MB of DDR3 RAM. The Au offers 102 3.3V logic level IO pins, 20 of which can be switched to 1.8V; Nine differential analog inputs; Eight general purpose LEDs; a 100MHz on-board clock that can be manipulated internally by the FPGA; a USB-C connector to configure and power the board; and a USB to serial interface for data transfer.

All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can�t hook it up wrong.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"center-block text-center\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/tags\/fpga\" class=\"btn btn-default\"\u003eGet Started with our Learning FPGA Tutorials\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eArtix 7 XC7A35T-1C - 33,280 logic cells\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e256MB DDR3 RAM\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e102 IO pins (3.3V logic level, 20 of then can be switched to 1.8V for LVDS)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNine differential analog inputs (One dedicated, Eight mixed with digital IO)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUSB-C to configure and power the board\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEight general purpose LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOne button (typically used as a reset)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e100MHz on-board clock (can be multiplied internally by the FPGA)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePowered with 5V through USB-C port, 0.1\" holes, or headers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUSB to serial interface for data transfer (up to 12Mbaud)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQwiic Connector\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDimensions of 65mm x 45mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/b\/6\/2\/f\/b\/alchitry_au_sch_update.pdf\"\u003eAlchitry Au Schematic (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/how-does-an-fpga-work\"\u003eHow Does an FPGA Work?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/programming-an-fpga\"\u003eProgramming an FPGA\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alchitry.com\/blogs\/tutorials\/getting-started-with-the-au\"\u003eGetting Started Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alchitry.com\/pages\/alchitry-labs\"\u003eAlchitry Labs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alchitry.com\/pages\/lucid-fpga-tutorials\"\u003eLucid FPGA Tutorial\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/news\/1203\"\u003eSo You Want to Learn FPGAs...\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/fpga\"\u003eFPGA Resource Page\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alchitry.com\/blogs\/tutorials\"\u003eAlchitry Tutorials\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/forum.alchitry.com\/\"\u003eAlchitry Forums\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExamples:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/first-fpga-project---getting-fancy-with-pwm\"\u003eFirst FPGA Project - Getting Fancy with PWM\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/external-io-and-metastability\"\u003eExternal IO and Metastability\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVideos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"flex-video-wrap clearfix\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"flex-video widescreen img\"\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QEQOI75N0Zk\/?autohide=1\u0026amp;border=0\u0026amp;wmode=opaque\u0026amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll product and company names are trademarks™ or registered® trademarks of their respective holders.
