Solar Express 50 in Stock Now

The Solar Express 50 (SE50) is a mini PCIe board with a PolarFire FPGA, 4GB of DDR4 memory and PCIe interface, JTAG, IO connector, suitable for application processing or for providing additional IO interface to the host. This is a full-size mini PCIe peripheral board with an MPF300T-1FCVG484E FPGA from Microchip.

The Mini PCIe card is a small form factor board used to implement the PCI Express interface to expand embedded PC I/O. The card size is 30mm wide by 50.95mm long. The Minicard standard defines a 52-pin card edge connector. It provides additional processing power, GPIOs, and high-speed transceivers to the host. SE50 has an x1 GEN2 PCIe interface as an End Point and JTAG for programming and development. The SE50 includes 4GB of DDR4 memory and can optionally be fitted with lower-cost MPF100 and 200 in the same package.
