> logiCRAFT3™

The logiCRAFT3 is the latest Xylon’s small-factor and field-configurable platform based on the logiCRAFT2 platform. It is designed to support a wide variety of audio and video sources and handle a variety of display types including today popular COG displays. The logiCRAFT3 integrates several standard communication interfaces enabling an easy programming and control, as well as a smooth integration into larger systems.

The logiCRAFT3 platform is primarily aimed at the automotive market, including applications such as navigation, infotainment, rear-seat entertainment (RSE), and driver assistance. Other multimedia applications are equally applicable, such as consumer, medical, and measurement instrumentation or factory automation applications.

The platform is available in several HW configurations sharing a common features set.

Platform Deliverables

Some logiCRAFT3 features share the same FPGA pins and have to be selected during board assembly, or may be configured by user-settable jumpers. Xylon currently offers three different logiCRAFT3 assemblies:

Configuration A: XC3S1200E + TV input 2
Configuration B: XC3S1200E + 1GB/sec LVDS rec (APIX by Inova)
Configuration C: XC3S250E + 1GB/sec LVDS rec (APIX by Inova)

Detailed information about logiCRAFT3 system assemblies is provided in the datasheet.

The logiCRAFT3 package includes:
