Constellation-FLEX 10KE Prototype Board
Constellation is Nova Engineering's programmable logic development system with a modular architecture in the industry-standard PC/104 form factor. It is a powerful hardware development system that delivers the flexibility and ease-of-use necessary for rapid prototype development. Constellation-FLEX® 10KE provides support for all FLEX 10K devices available in the 240-pin quad flat pack (QFP) package, including both 3.3-V and 5.0-V parts.
Features
The Constellation-FLEX 10KE has the following features:
- Modular architecture and flexible design for rapid prototyping
- PC/104 form factor supports stand-alone or embedded operation
- Configuration via universal serial bus (USB), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), industry-standard architecture (ISA) bus, or Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) via EPROM
- Up to 132 user input/output (I/O) pins available (plus 39 on ISA interface)
- Low cost and available for fast delivery
- Free evaluation through Arrow's Testdrive program (North America)
- Compatible with all Nova Megafunction intellectual property (IP) blocks

Description
The Constellation prototype board can operate in a stand-alone configuration or can be easily connected to single board computers and other subsystems using the "snap together" design of the PC/104 standard. This modularity provides plug-and-play access to any PC/104-compliant device, such as high speed analog to digital and digital to analog converters, creating a base development system for communication, signal processing, data acquisition, control, automatic test equipment, and graphics accelerators.
Constellation is fully compatible with the ISA standard and can be inserted into any 16-bit ISA slot using the companion adapter card. It can be reconfigured directly from the host computer to accelerate applications or to process data directly with supercomputer performance.
