The 8-Channel Ultra High-Speed Serial I/O 3U cPCI Board provides eight channels of simultaneous, high-speed (>20 Mbit/s), bi-directional serial communications. All channels are jumper configurable as RS232/422/485. This adapter also supports a number of UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) (<1 Mbit/s) channels.

The board design complies with the 3U cPCI specification (PICMG 2.0 (R 3.0)) and is available in commercial, industrial, and ruggedised grades and in air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions with front panel or backplane I/O.

Architecture

The 8-Channel Ultra High-Speed Serial I/O 3U cPCI Board is an intelligent I/O board designed with an NXP PowerQUICC II Integrated PowerPC Microprocessor as communication controller. The PowerQUICC II processor can easily be configured to implement different serial protocols, thus allowing the board to keep up with technological advances. All high-speed serial I/O channels are implemented using the PowerQUICC II.

Features

cost-effective and flexible option for systems that require both a large number of high-speed, real-time communication links, as well as some low-speed serial links
offers independent I/O processing offboard the host

Applications

Distributed real-time applications in harsh environments
Mission-critical applications
Avionics
Vetronics
High-speed sensor integration
Legacy connectivity
