Introduction
The Microsemi RTG4™ Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Development Kit provides designers
with an evaluation and development platform for applications such as data transmission, serial
connectivity, bus interface, and high-speed designs using the RTG4 devices. The development board
features an RT4G150 device offering 151,824 logic elements in a ceramic package with 1,657 pins.
The RTG4 Development Board includes two 1 GB Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) memories and two 1 GB
of SPI flash memories. The board also has several standard and advanced peripherals, such as PCIe x4
edge connector, two FMC connectors for using several off-the-shelf daughter cards, USB, Philips
interintegrated circuit (I

C), gigabit Ethernet port, serial peripheral interface (SPI), and UART. A high-
precision operational amplifier circuitry on the board helps measure the device core power consumption.
A FlashPro programmer is embedded on the board, which allows RTG4 FPGA programming through the
JTAG interface.
