GPIO-MM

• 48 programmable digital I/O lines based on 8255 cores
• 10 16-bit counter/timers based on 9513 cores with 8 fixed digital inputs and 8 fixed digital outputs
• Based on a Xilinx Spartan II RAM-based FPGA for field reconfigurability FPGA personality display for easy identification
• -40 to +85°C operation

GPIO-MM is part of a family of reconfigurable digital I/O and counter / timer modules with various port and pin configurations. Each board uses identical hardware with a 200K gate Xilinx Spartan II RAM-based FPGA. The varying configurations are based on different FPGA code. The FPGA code is stored in a flash memory on the board, enabling GPIO-MM to be reprogrammed in the field with different designs, including custom designs.

The GPIO-MM configuration provides 48 digital I/O lines and 10 programmable counter/timers. The counter/timer features are based on our legacy Quartz-MM board, while the 48 digital I/O lines are compatible with our legacy Garnet-MM board. This configuration combines the features of both these boards into one board to reduce your PC/104 stack size and cost.

Other GPIO-MM configurations provide up to 96 digital I/O lines.
