BeMicro CV A9

BeMicro CV A9 (Cyclone V) FPGA Evaluation Kit

The BeMicro CV A9 is an enhanced BeMicro CV development board that utilizes Altera’s 28-nm low-cost Cyclone V FPGA. It retains all the main features of the original BeMicro CV predecessor while providing a higher logic density and additional features. The 5CEFA9F23C8N on the BeMicro CV A9 includes a hardened memory controller (HMC) connected to a single 16-bit wide, 1Gb DDR3 SDRAM device. FPGA user I/O are routed to the two 40-pin I/O headers and 80-pin MEC-style edge connector. The BeMicro CV A9 also includes an on board USB Blaster programmer, Micro-SD card slot, and a 10/100/1000 Ethernet PHY.

Notes

It is recommended to add an heatsink of 23x23mm due to heat generated by FPGA.

Part Number for MEC connector: MEC6-140-02-L-D-RA1 (horizontal)
