Acromag XMC730 multifunction I/O XMC mezzanine modules

Acromag has introduced the XMC730 mezzanine modules, which provide flexible, high-density I/O with high-performance DMA to solve a variety of SWaP challenges. The DMA transfer support moves data between module memory; this frees the CPU from the burden of moving data between module memory and system memory over the PCIe bus.

Acromag offers C Libraries for VxWorks, Linux and Windows DLL driver software; these provide generic routines to handle reads, writes, interrupts and other functions. Demonstration programs enable the developer to quickly exercise the I/O modules before attaching the routines to the application program. The diagnostic tool can save hours of troubleshooting and debugging.

Other features include: the ability to perform analog I/O, digital I/O and counter/timer functions; 16 differential or 32 single-ended analog inputs and eight analog output channels; and 16 bidirectional I/O channels and 32-bit multifunction counter-timers.

The boards come in three models, providing front 68-pin SCSI-2 I/O connection or rear P16 and P4 I/O connectors. They are designed for commercial off-the shelf (COTS) applications, providing an abundance of I/O options to save I/O slots.
