configurations indefinitely
50, 100MHz)
(1.2V, 2.5V, and 3.3V) that allow use
of 3.5V-5.5V external supplies
The Basys 2 is retired and no longer for sale in our store. We recommend migrating to the Basys 3.
The Basys2 board is a circuit design and implementation platform that anyone can use to gain experience building real digital circuits. Built around a Xilinx Spartan-3E Field Programmable Gate Array and a Atmel AT90USB2 USB controller, the Basys2 board provides complete, ready-to-use hardware suitable for hosting circuits ranging from basic logic devices to complex controllers. A large collection of on-board I/O devices and all required FPGA support circuits are included, so countless designs can be created without the need for any other components.
Four standard expansion connectors allow designs to grow beyond the Basys2 board using breadboards, user-designed circuit boards, or Pmods (Pmods are inexpensive analog and digital I/O modules that offer A/D & D/A conversion, motor drivers, sensor inputs, and many other features).
*250k gates were used in early models of the Basys 2 but are no longer available. Both models are fully pin-compatible.
