The TYRO- Spartan 3 FPGA is a low-priced, compact prototyping module that can be used for rapid proof of concept or for educational environments. The module is based on the Spartan 3 FPGA from Xilinx along with supporting circuitry to ease prototyping efforts. Designers can use the Spartan-3 kit for general FPGA prototyping, experimenting with multiple FPGA configuration techniques, and proving out low cost design methods.
