PCIe-DIO-72, PCIe-DIO-96, and PCIe-DIO-120

This product is a x1 lane PCIe DIO board available in economy to high-performance models ranging from basic 72-, 96, and 120 DIO lines to advanced COS detection. The card emulates 8255 compatible chips using FPGA technology, providing up to 120 DIO lines. The DIO lines are grouped into three 8-bit ports: A, B, and C. Each 8-bit port is configured via software to function as either inputs or outputs. Port C can be further broken into two 4-bit nybbles via software and configured as either inputs or outputs. All DIO lines can be tristated as well using the corresponding software command.

Each DIO line is buffered and capable of outputting up to 32mA source/sink when configured for a 5V VCCIO level. The VCCIO logic level is globally configured via jumper selection as 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V or 1.8V. Also, ports A, B, C low nybble, and C high nybble are individually jumper configurable as pull-up or pull-down through 10kΩ resistor networks.

The card is 10.5 inches in length and 4.2 inches seated height. I/O wiring connections for this board are via 50 pin headers. Ribbon cables can be used to connect this card to termination panels through a cutout in the mounting bracket. Strain relief is provided at the cutout in this mounting bracket.

Applications

The PCIe-DIO-120 family is excellent for use in a multitude of applications requiring digital control or monitoring such as in test equipment, instrumentation, lab automation, and process control.
