Thales Computers has unveiled its PMC-HTLK advanced, high-speed serial data acquisition IO mezzanine card.

Designed to meet the needs of the compact, real-time systems running on defence and aerospace applications, the PMC-HTLK offers high speed data acquisition and point-to-point data transmission.

PMC-HTLK is a 64bit PCI mezzanine card (PMC) that is capable of moving high-speed data to and from PCI-accessible memory using either a HOTLink II transmitter channel, a HotLink II receiver channel or a 32bit wide parallel data port P4DP.

P4DP is a 32bit rear-panel variant of the front panel data port (FPDP) that runs at a software-programmed clock rate of up to 40MHz.

PMC-HTLK supports three speeds - high speed (1Gbaud) and low speed (350 Mbaud and 320 Mbaud) - and is available in commercial and rugged air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions.

"Thales developed the PMC-HTLK as a high speed serial IO card to be used for high speed data acquisition when the front panel data port does not meet the needs of the user due to the length of the link or when the cabling is difficult to support", said Alain Albarello, General Manager of Thales Computers.

"The PMC-HTLK has proven its versatility already, having already been selected for use in providing high speed, video and data communications in PODS".
