Budget board for FPGA development
A new 400k gate Spartan-3 FPGA development board provides a low-cost solution for design engineers looking to pursue a variety of embedded FPGA applications.
The nRF24LU1 integrates a 2.4GHz RF transceiver, a full-speed, USB 2.0-compliant device controller, an 8bit microcontroller and 16Kbyte of Flash memory.
With a fully integrated RF synthesizer and PLL for the USB, no external loop filters, resonators or VCO varactor diodes are required, only a low cost +/-60ppm 16MHz crystal, matching circuitry and the antenna.
With an air data rate of 2Mbit/s combined with full-speed USB supporting up to 12Mbit/s, the nRF24LU1 meets the stringent performance requirements of applications such as wireless mouses, game controllers and media centre remote controls with displays.
The device can be powered directly from a USB port, removing the need for an external voltage regulator and is supplied in a compact 32-pin 5 x 5mm QFN package.
A complete development platform for reduced development cycles and risk is available along with a production-ready USB dongle reference design for fast time to market.
