Overview
The Mars MX1 FPGA module is equipped with fully EtherCAT-compliant dual Fast Ethernet PHYs and fast DDR2 SDRAM. It is thus perfectly suited for compact SoPC systems based on the Xilinx Microblaze soft processor communicating via real-time field buses.
The SO-DIMM form factor allows space-saving hardware designs as well as quick and simple integration of the module into the target application.
