Part number XC5VSX95T1FFG1136I is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Xilinx. Xilinx is the world’s leading provider of all programmable technologies and devices to global manufacturers across varied segments. Xilinx is the pioneer in this field having invented FPGA devices. FPGAs are unique integrated circuits that can be programmed ‘on field’ by the end user. Thus FPGAs, offer greater flexibility to designers and reduce time-to-market for new products significantly.

Part number XC5VSX95T1FFG1136I is part of Xilinx’s Virtex5 FPGA series. This component is based on CMOS technology and has 94208 logic cells with 640 I/Os. The total memory for this component is 8994816 bits. The operating temperature range for part number XC5VSX95T1FFG1136I is -40 to +100 deg C. This RoHS compliant FPGA is available on FCBGA-1136 packaging.

Part number LM317T is a voltage regulator, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductors.  Fairchild is well known particularly for their Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) components, which are energy efficient and used extensively in applications such as mobile, lighting, automotive, medical, computing and several more. Part number LM317T in fact is a PMIC component from Fairchild.

As a voltage regulator, this component is classified as a liner LDO (low Dropout) regulator. An LDO regulator can operate in conditions where the input-output voltage differential is very low. For part number LM317T, the input voltage is upto 40V while voltage output ranges between 1.2-37V. The minimum output current is 1.5A. This IC is to be through hole mounted and can be used in the temperature range 0 to 125 deg C. Benefits of LDO voltage regulators like part number LM317T include greater efficiency and reduced heat dissipation and the ability to function at a lower minimum voltage.

Part number QU80386EXTC33 is an embedded microprocessor manufactured by Intel. Intel, of course needs no introduction, being one of the world’s largest manufacturers of semiconductor components, embedded processors and other products that power the world’s computing devices.

This microprocessor has a data bus width of 32bit and a maximum processing speed of 33MHz. It has a voltage rating of 5V. The component is surface mounted and available in QFP-132 packaging. Part number QU80386EXTC33 is RoHS compliant.
