• Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA XC7A100T-1CSG324C
• 15,850 logic slices, each with four 6-input LUTs and 8 flip-flops
• 4,860 Kbits of fast block RAM
• Six clock management tiles, each with phase-locked loop (PLL)

The Nexys 4 board is a complete, ready-to-use digital circuit development platform based on the latest Artix®-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Xilinx®. The Artix-7 FPGA is optimized for high performance logic and offers more capacity, higher performance, and more resources than earlier designs. With its large, high-capacity FPGA (Xilinx part number XC7A100T-1CSG324C), generous external memories, and collection of USB, Ethernet, and other ports, the Nexys 4 can host designs ranging from introductory combinational circuits to powerful embedded processors. Several built-in peripherals, including an accelerometer, temperature sensor, MEMs digital microphone, speaker amplifier, and several I/O devices allow the Nexys 4 to be used for a wide range of designs without needing any other components.

The Nexys 4 is compatible with Xilinx's new high-performance Vivado® Design Suite as well as the ISE® toolset, which includes ChipScope™ and EDK. Xilinx offers free WebPACK™ versions of these toolsets, so designs can be implemented for no additional cost.

Note: The Nexys 4 is no longer in production and is not recommended for new installations. When the current stock is depleted, it will be discontinued. We suggest migration to the Nexys 4 DDR.

The Nexys 4 onboard programming circuitry is not supported by the Hardware Server in Vivado 2013.2 and earlier. The FPGA must be programmed using iMPACT™ in these versions of Vivado. The Hardware Server in versions 2013.3 and newer fully supports the Nexys 4.
