Boards and Kits

Overview

The CS90 Development and Validation Board (DVB) provides a complete platform for designing and verifying various networking applications in the CS90 family of devices. This board also allows designers to implement high-speed SERDES and external memory interfaces with the CS90 family of devices. This board allows designers to implement CS90 based applications with the following interfaces:

• 10/100 Ethernet
• 1G Ethernet
• 10G Ethernet
• 1/2/4G Fibre Channel
• PCI Express
• SPI-4.2
• PCI
• DDR2
• QDR2
• RLDRAM2
  

In addition, the CS90 DVB contains a Host FPGA to allow board interfacing with:

• 10/100 Ethernet
• RS232
• USB
  

For customers who wish to evaluate the CS90 family of devices, the complete kit also contains numerous demos that highlight the capabilities of the various blocks in the CS90 devices.
