Original author: Digital Shortcut Inc. (source: https://digitalshortcut.com/s50WZ.html)

## Components

- **WIZnet W5300** x 1 ([docs](https://docs.wiznet.io/Product/Chip/Ethernet/W5300))

## Article

**DETAILS**

The development kit of DSX50WZ board combines XC3S50AN Spartan-3AN and WIZnet W5300.
This small factor board may be configured as a very efficient web server and still has most of the XC3S50 FPGA resources available for your application.If you are starting a new project with FPGA connected to Ethernet, want to learn FPGA or just need a web server/network connection.

The block Diagram of DSX50WZ is as shown below.

Feature
