The Spartan-3E Display Development Kit simplifies image
enhancement for next generation digital TVs and displays.
Design for Dynamic Market Landscape
The exploding market for digital displays has put pressure on developers to continuously
add more functionality at lower costs. Users need to keep up with the constantly
changing standards. Spartan-3 generation FPGAs provide flexibility, shortens development
time, features, and price-points that cater to high-volume, display applications.
The Standards and References You Need
Build image processing applications with the Spartan-3E FPGA with support for high-
speed connectivity standards such as LVDS, mini-LVDS, RSDS and PPDS interfaces - key
links to leading-edge digital display devices from flat-panel LCDs, plasma displays, rear
projection, mobile hand-set, human-machine interfaces, and automotive applications.
In addition, the development kit offers a 7:1 LVDS Rx/Tx display link, and image
processing reference designs. These designs include: Color Temperature Correction
(CTC) that supports three different color temperature values; support for Precise
Gamma Correction (PGC); and an Image Dithering Engine (IDE). On board reference
designs and expansion cards for connectivity allow you to test the system quickly
and precisely.
