Connect Tech PCI Express to FeaturePak Adapter

Introduction

Connect Tech’s PCI Express to FeaturePak Adapter board allows users to install a FeaturePak module into any PCI Express system slot.

This adapter allows for easy development, debugging, and prototyping directly on the adapter and it brings out all of the FeaturePak IO signals to separate headers and connectors, as well as giving the user access to all of the critical additional FeaturePak signals.

This adapter supports any x1, x4, x8 or x16 lane PCI Express slot.

Simply mount the FeaturePak module to the adapter and install the adapter into any PCI Express slot.

The FeaturePak adapter features an open access area for instrumentation and measurement on the top or bottom side of the adapter (see picture to the right).

What is FeaturePak?

A new and exciting embedded system expansion standard. FeaturePak is a mezzanine-style standard designed to work with existing standards such as PC/104, SUMIT, Qseven, ETX, XTX, COM Express, etc. FeaturePak modules are smaller than a credit card at 42mm x 65mm in size and make use of a low-cost connector to integrate all host and external I/O interfaces. Using FeaturePak allows you to reconfigure your system design using off the shelf modules based on an open standard that will ensure a strong eco-system.
