PC/104 digital I/O module is field programmable
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 6/1/2006
A flexible and reconfigurable PC/104 digital I/O module, the GPIO-MM from Diamond Systems, employs a Xilinx Spartan II FPGA that allows the hardware to be reprogrammed in the field to serve multiple applications with different digital I/O requirements. Onboard flash memory stores the FPGA code and can be reprogrammed through a JTAG interface.
The GPIO-MM offers 48 programmable-direction digital I/O lines, eight fixed-input lines, eight fixed-output lines, and 10 16-bit counter/timers supported by a 40-MHz clock. Three pin headers provide a total of 100 I/O pins.
Price: $180. Diamond Systems, www.diamondsystems.com.
