The EC6 is an all-in-one single board computer offering scalable processing power with low power consumption.
Based on SBS core designs, the 6U DIO1-6CP has varying I/O capabilities that can be added to or modified from an extensive array of previously designed and verified I/O circuits.
"SBS expands its integrated system solutions, we have found that customer-specific input and output requirements represent the greatest variability in offering off-the-shelf solutions".
"Our design engineering teams leveraged their experiences using DSP-based computing platforms into versatile product designs".
"This design approach offers our customers an entire portfolio of products that will meet the performance requirements of the end use application and operate in severe temperature, shock, and vibration environments", said Frank Willis, VP Business Development for SBS Technologies.
These CompactPCI commercial and conduction-cooled DSP-based I/O boards can handle a wide variety of signals and perform on-the-fly signal processing, making them ideal for mission computers and other applications with harsh environmental demands.
DSP program code and FPGA configuration data can be downloaded and stored in Flash memory via the host processor, allowing the 6U DIO1-6CP to combine the functionality of several specialty boards while saving precious backplane slots for other uses.
Because this board design is based on a programmable architecture, SBS can provide custom features such as engineering unit conversion and precise timing of signals and sample rates.
The DIO1-6CP DSP-based I/O board supports Wind River Systems' VxWorks, Green Hills Software's Integrity and Microsoft Windows operating systems and comes configured with built-in testing capability software.
The 6U CompactPCI DSP-based I/O interface board is available now.
List pricing starts at: $7200 for the 6U cPCI DIO with front panel; $8650 for the 6U cPCI DIO with front panel with conformal coating; and $10,400 for the 6U cPCI DIO conduction cooled.
