Analogue boards mount PCI and PXI
The DAQ-2500 and PXI-2500 series are four- or eight-channel 12bit high-performance analogue output cards for the PCI and PXI buses.
High-bandwidth PGA boosts acquisition performance
The latest data-acquisition card from Adlink features a novel programmable gain amplifier to overcome the traditional problems of acquiring signals faster than 500kHz.
The ETX form factor is competitively priced for OEM projects with quantities from 500 to 50,000 pieces.
The ETX-GX2 core consists of an AMD Geode GX533 or GX466 processor with an AMD Geode CS5535 companion device.
The Geode GX533 consumes a mere 1.1W and the Geode GX466 uses even less power at 0.9W.
The module supports both DDR based SODIMMs and soldered memory.
This ensures long-term availability and stable pricing for the SODIMM part in projects that have a long production life, when compared with SDRAM based SODIMMs.
Memory, either 128 or 256Mbyte, can be soldered onboard and/or can be inserted in the onboard 200-pin SODIMM socket, that accepts up to 512Mbyte DDR SODIMMs.
The module incorporates a VGA controller, an EIDE controller supporting both PIO and UDMA modes, four USB ports, two serial ports, one parallel port (SPP/ECP/EPP) shared with FDD, one PS2 keyboard/mouse interface, AC97 audio interface and power management functionality.
Also onboard are an Intel based 10/100Base-T Ethernet port, watchdog timer, an AC97 audio codec and support for CRT and LVDS based displays.
The ETX-GX2 fully supports PCI and ISA buses and embedded features such as RS232 console redirection and CMOS EEPROM backup for BIOS settings and batteryless operation.
The ETX-GX2 is a revision controlled product aimed at applications that require a guaranteed long production life support. Request a free brochure from Adlink Technology ...
