To provide customers with immediate availability to this technology, Nu Horizons has partnered with online educational resource company TechOnLine to create a virtual lab environment - enabling free evaluation of the Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA via the Internet using Nu Horizons' XC3S2000 development platform.
"Our internal engineering staff has worked closely with Xilinx to build two low cost platforms that showcase Xilinx's leading edge FPGA products", explains Athar Zafar, Vice President of Global Engineering for Nu Horizons.
"By placing the XC3S2000 FPGA in an online evaluation and development environment, we're offering engineers early design access, as well as eliminating the exploratory costs typically involved with testing new technology".
