LEDs

The Spartan-3 Starter Kit board has eight individual surface-mount LEDs located above
the push button switches, indicated by

in

Figure 1-2

. The LEDs are labeled LED7

through LED0. LED7 is the left-most LED, LED0 the right-most LED.

Table 4-3

shows the

FPGA connections to the LEDs.

The cathode of each LED connects to ground via a 270

Ω resistor. To light an individual

LED, drive the associated FPGA control signal High, which is the opposite polarity from
lighting one of the 7-segment LEDs.
