XILINX SPARTAN-7 CORE BOARD
USER MANUAL
Preface
The QMTech® Spartan-7 Core Board uses Xilinx XC7S15 device to demonstrate the newest
addition to the Cost-Optimized Portfolio, offer the best in class performance per watt, along
with small form factor packaging to meet the most stringent requirements. These devices
feature a MicroBlaze™ soft processor running over 200 DMIPs with 800Mb/s DDR3 support
built on 28nm technology. Additionally, Spartan-7 devices offer an integrated ADC, dedicated
security features, and Q-grade (-40 to +125° C) on all commercial devices. These devices are
ideally suited for industrial, consumer, and automotive applications including any-to-any
connectivity, sensor fusion, and embedded vision.
