New Products

PCI66-18AISS8AO8
The PCI66-18AISS8AO8 provides 8 differential 18-bit analog input channels with 500KSPS sample rates per channel. Inputs are software-configurable with or without 0-20ma current-loop input termination (500 Ohms, 0.05%, 0.4 Watt, individually selectable for each input channel). A continuous time 4-pole lowpass filter is available and selectable as FC= 80kHz or 200kHz (Custom frequencies also available). The DMA engine supports block-mode transfers in two channels, and on-demand autocalibration ensures DC precision as well as AC performance. The PCI66-18AISS8AO8 also provides a hardware sync and clock I/O for multiboard synchronization.

PMC66-14HSAI4
The PMC66-14HSA14 is a four-channel, 14-bit wideband analog input board with sampling rates to 50 MSPS per channel. It has four wideband analog inputs with a dedicated 14-bit ADC per channel, and offers aggregate burst rates up to 200 MSPS and sustained aggregate rates up to 100 MSPS. This board provides software-selectable input ranges: ±2.5V, ±1.25V, ±0.625V, with optional input ranges: ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, or transformer-coupled 2Vp-p, 1Vp-p. It offers a 1-MByte FIFO data buffer. 66MHz PCI compatibility and DMA engine provide maximum throughput. Software-configurable data path supports data packing. This board also offers simultaneous sampling of all channels; sample clocking supplied by internal rate generator or external source. Conforms to PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3, with Universal Signaling.

PCI-SIO8BXS
The PCI-SIO8BXS board is an eight channel serial interface card which provides high speed, full-duplex, multi-protocol serial capability. The SIO8BX combines four multi-protocol Dual Universal Serial Controllers (USC®), 16 external FIFOs, and multi-protocol transceivers to provide eight fully independent asynchronous or synchronous serial channels. Multiprotocol Transceivers support RS422 (V.11)/RS485, RS423 (V.10), RS232 (V.28), V.35, RS530, as well as other Mixed Protocol modes. These features, along with a high performance PCI interface engine, give the PCI-SIO8BX unsurpassed performance in a serial interface card.

PMC66-16AISS16AO2
The 16-Bit PMC66-16AISS16AO2 analog I/O module samples and digitizes 16 input channels simultaneously at rates up to 1.0 million samples per second per channel, and the resulting 16-bit sampled data is available to the PCI bus through a 256K-Sample FIFO buffer. Sampling can be controlled in groups of 1 through 16 channels, and the sample clock can be generated either from an internal rate generator, or by software or an external source. Both burst and continuous sampling modes are supported, and input ranges are software-selectable as ±10V, ±5V or ±2.5V. The inputs are divided into two channel groups, with an independent software-controlled range assignable to each group.

Coming Soon

PMC66-SIO4BXR
The PMC66-SI04BXR board is a four channel serial interface card which provides high speed, full-duplex, multi-protocol serial capability for PMC applications with Rear I/O. The SIO4BX combines two multi-protocol Dual Universal Serial Controllers (USC®), 8 external FIFOs, and multi-protocol transceivers to provide four fully independent asynchronous or synchronous serial channels. Multiprotocol Transceivers support RS422 (V.11)/RS485, RS423 (V.10), RS232 (V.28), V.35, RS530, as well as other Mixed Protocol modes. These features, along with a high performance PCI interface engine, give the PMC66-SIO4BXR unsurpassed performance in a serial interface card.

PCIe-16AI64SSC
The 16-Bit PCIe-16AI64SSAC analog input board samples and digitizes 64 input channels simultaneously at rates up to 200,000 samples per second for each channel. Each input channel contains a dedicated 16-Bit sampling ADC, and the resulting 16-bit sampled data is available to the PCI bus through a 1 MByte FIFO buffer. The 32-Bit local data path supports full D32 local-bus data packing. Throughput capacity is further enhanced with 66MHz PCI support and increased local clocking frequency. All operational parameters are software configurable. Inputs can be sampled in groups of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 channels; or any single channel can be sampled continuously. The sample clock can be generated from an internal rate generator, or by software or external hardware. Input ranges are software-selectable as ±10V, ±5V or ±2.5V.

We have recently added PCI Express to our extensive product line. PCI Express, officially abbreviated as PCIe is a computer expansion card interface format. It was designed as a much faster interface to replace PCI, PCIX, and AGP interfaces for computer expansion cards and graphics cards. The PCI Express (PCIe) physical connection (slot) is completely different from those of the older standard PCI slots or those for PCI Extended (PCIX).

Any PMC66 I/O board can be used on PCI Express, PCI-X, cPCI-X, PCI, cPCI, PC/104-Plus via an adapter. Our I/O boards are being converted to PCI Express boards as opportunities arise. View our extensive line of I/O boards.
