Drigmorn4 Low Power, High Performance, FPGA Embedded Processing Platform

The Drigmorn4 is based around at Xilinx™ Spartan™-6 FPGA family. Utilising the low power features of this FPGA family the Drigmorn4 board is capable of offering an embedded processing solution than can operate from as little as a 5V 1W power supply. Drigmorn4 will also be offered with a battery pack option allowing remote location operation on either batteries alone or in conjunction with a small solar panel, wind or ultra-micro hydro generator. The battery pack also doubles up as a simple UPS feature for systems where it is critical that a Drigmorn4 remains operational despite main power supply interruption.

Compact and lightweight Drigmorn4 offers a solution where both of these parameters are important. Measuring just 72(w) x 135(l) x 20(h)mm (2.82 x 5.32 x 0.8 inches) and weighing less than 100g (3.5oz) this product fits and goes where competing products struggle to. The board has mounting holes allowing a robust attachment to equipment panels or equipment chassis.

Drigmorn4 comes with standard hardware features including a Xilinx™ Spartan™-6 LX45-LX150 FPGA, DDR3 memory, Flash memory, 10/100T Ethernet interface, 2 x PS2 interfaces, Real Time Clock, 2 x 16 LCD, USB interface, DIL Switches, Push Switches, LEDs, and 60 I/O for further expansion. Enterpoint can also offer customisation of this product’s hardware to meet specific OEM customer requirements.

‘The combination of low power and enormous logic capability of the Xilinx™ Spartan™-6 FPGA family has allowed us to build a high performance processing solution that can run on batteries or long term from solar, wind, or even ultra-micro hydro power solutions without maintenance. The flexibility of the user I/O available allows either our standard, or customer specific, modules to enhance the features of the board to meet exacting customer requirements in a small package at a reasonable cost.’ says John Adair CEO of Enterpoint.

The Drigmorn4 is shipping in prototyping quantities now and will be available in production quantities from September.
