The FLEXIO product is a powerful FPGA module, enabling an easy and flexible integration of peripherals. The aim of the FLEXIO module is to connect simple interfaces such as analogue/digital IO, PWM, SPI, I2C, etc, without any special speed requirements.

Up to four front-end modules can be connected to the FLEXIO I/O controller. The front-end modules enable the installation of specific connectors in the front of the device and the fulfilment of ESD/EMC device requirements, etc. The connection between the FLEXIO and the frontend modules will take place via a standardised, identical interface.
