MicroZed Breakout Carrier Card

The Breakout Carrier Card supports the MicroZed Evaluation Kit and System-on-Module (SOM), providing easy access to 100 Programmable Logic (PL) user I/O available from the MicroZed SOM. Two 100-pin MicroHeaders on the carrier card mate with the MicroZed, connecting the Programmable Logic (PL) I/O to two simple 0.1” connector footprints as well as a bread-boarding area. The Breakout Carrier Card generates the necessary power rails for MicroZed, providing 5 V to the MicroZed core and a user selectable bank voltage for the PL I/O and Breakout connectors. The Breakout Carrier Card is the simplest, least expensive way to enable the PL I/Os on the MicroZed SOM.
