SDLinkmicroSD Supported FPGA Configuration Module
SDLink is a high speed FPGA configuration module which stores data on microSD card. By swapping microSD, FPGA configuration data is accordingly updated.
- Use microSD. High availability,High capacity and High-speed programming- Easy to use. Easy to update the circuit by just swapping microSD
Available now on Mouser!!

Low cost, Ultra high-speed Programming and Easy to update
Cost Performance |
|
 |
SDLink attaches 16GBytes SDHC microSD card which is unlimited capacity for FPGA configuration data. The cost performance is up to 1/1000 compared with the conventional configuration ROM. (*Price per bit. Comparison with 128Mbit configuration ROM) |
Drastic shorten programming time for large scale FPGAs |
|
 |
Conventional on-board flash memory takes several minutes for 42MBytes configuration
data programming. SDLink just takes 3 seconds. Moreover, Easy to update logic in fields because SDLink does not require
the programming cable any more. In prototype production, SDLink is very useful for testing the circuit data of various patterns in a short time, and then you can change to standard configuration ROM when mass-producing. |
Hot Swap Function |
|
 |
SDLink can remove microSD after configuration. After that, when microSD card insert again, SDLink start high-speed configuration immediately. It is useful for updating circuit data without system shutdown. |
