DE23-Lite Development Kit
DE23-Lite Development Kit
The DE23-Lite is a compact and cost-effective development board powered by the Altera Agilex™ 3 FPGA, purpose-built for vision, digital logic, robotics, and embedded system design. Featuring onboard SDRAM, HDMI output, rich I/O headers, integrated ADC, and user interface components, the board provides a robust and versatile platform for both education and prototyping.
With essential connectivity—including USB Type-C, GPIO, switches, LEDs, and 7-segment displays—the DE23-Lite enables developers and students to quickly implement and test real-world designs. It offers an ideal balance of simplicity, performance, and power efficiency, making it well-suited for image/video processing, embedded vision, classroom instruction, and FPGA edge applications.
The DE23-Lite extends the capabilities of the previous DE10-Lite by offering upgraded I/O flexibility, improved peripheral integration, and the benefits of a modern Agilex 3 architecture—providing greater scalability for next-generation embedded vision development, educational and prototyping needs.
