 EM Home   Design   Line Card Xilinx EXP - Expansion Module Specification
1-800-408-8353   Printer Friendly
 

The EXP specification defines a versatile expansion interface to FPGA baseboards, allowing designers to add application-specific daughter cards and easily connect to the FPGA I/Os.  With an EXP-enabled board you can add functions from a growing list of off-the-shelf EXP modules or you can focus your efforts on building your own add-on module, while leveraging the existing baseboard functions. The EXP specification was developed exclusively for the unique requirements of FPGA development boards.

Key EXP Features

  • Royalty free, public domain specification
  • Full- and half-card options 
  • 168 (Full module) and 84 (Half module) user I/O
