PMC-FPGA-3C120

The PMC-FPGA-3C120 is a general purpose PMC specifically designed to accommodate high density I/O interfaces. It is capable of supporting Embedded Linux, MicroC/OS-II or other embedded operating systems. It can be used in either conduction or convection cooled environments. In a convection cooled environment, it is possible to add a custom interface adapter to the front connector on the board to support a variety of I/O signaling standards.
