Connect Tech Inc. Xtreme I/O Opto

Introduction

Connect Tech’s Xtreme I/O Opto is a 48-bit isolated digital input/output board grouped with 24 optically isolated inputs and 24 optically isolated outputs. The flexibility of the FPGA technology applied to the Xtreme I/O Opto allows integration and customisation to meet application requirements.

Fully PCI-104 compliant, Xtreme I/O Opto can be controlled directly from a memory mapped register set in any operating system.

The reliability of the Xtreme I/O Opto, along with the added protection provided by 2kV isolation ensures optimal performance and protection under extreme environmental conditions. Xtreme I/O Opto is ideal for embedded technology applications in the military, aerospace, medical and industrial sectors.

Features and Benefits

• Inputs: Selectable interrupt generation on any input signal (change of state, rising or falling edge) with 1.8kOhm current limiting series resistor on each input, and wide input voltage range from +0 up to +40V DC

• Outputs:  Individual selectable output voltage levels with a 4.7kOhm pull up, with maximum output current of 8mA, and wide input voltage range from +0 up to +40V DC

• Flexibility: FPGA Register Controlled Device (jumpers are not required)

• Optical Isolation: 2 kV RMS

Custom FPGA Design for the Xtreme I/O Opto

The Xtreme I/O Opto is pre-loaded with a full featured design which enables communication through the PCI-104 bus to the control and register portion of the FPGA device. In situations where additional features may be required, the Xtreme I/O Opto’s FPGA custom configuration can be used.

Xtreme I/O Opto Development Kit

Connect Tech’s extensive development kit allows experienced FPGA users to configure the Xtreme I/O Opto FPGA using their own VHDL or Verilog code. The development kit includes:

• JTAG Programming Cable

• Full VHDL source code for standard reference design

• Actel Libero IDE Software Suite
