Advantech, industrial computer manufacturer and automation innovator, releases its PICMG-3.1-compliant PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC), the MIC-3665.
The onboard micro-line bus provides a simple interface to application-specific I/O and a range of I/O cards including 1394a/FireWire and Analogue acquisition.
Up to seven cards can be stacked with each processor board.
Each card also features: two C6000 McBSP serial ports; digital I/O pins; RS232 and JTAG ports; 3.3 or 5V operation; 100, 150 and 167MHz versions; and all within a 98 x 67mm footprint.
Guy Hunter, MD of Somerled comments: "Up till now engineers had to choose between high-risk custom and high-cost COTS.
These boards offer a practical alternative by providing a simple interface with the real world combined with low cost and high quality".
The supported development environment slashes timescales for DSP novices or experts and includes: Code Composer Studio, XDS emulators, micro-line Flash filesys and host power-supply boards - everything needed for a quick start at affordable prices.
