FeaturePak I/O module

23 June 2010 Computer/Embedded Technology

New from Diamond Systems is a digital I/O module compatible with the recently introduced FeaturePak embedded I/O expansion standard. Despite its diminutive size of 43 x 65 mm, the FP-GPIO96 integrates 96 buffered, programmable digital I/O lines with Byte-wide and bit-wide port direction control, eight 32-bit counter/timers, four 24-bit pulse width modulation circuits with 0-100% duty cycle, and a watchdog timer with system reset capability. It interfaces to host systems via the FeaturePak host interface’s high-speed PCI Express bus interface.

The module is shipped in a standard configuration, based on the characteristics pre-programmed into its onboard FPGA. Alternate characteristics may be downloaded at no charge from Diamond’s website and programmed into the board using a software utility. The FP-GPIO96 also supports -40°C to +85°C extended temperature operation.

Diamond supplies a universal driver software toolkit at no extra charge with the FP-GPIO96 digital I/O FeaturePak module, to ease the task of supporting its data acquisition functions in applications under Linux, Windows XP, Windows Embedded Standard and Windows Embedded CE. The toolkit also includes demo programs and example code for each supported OS.
