PMC mezzanine cards for rugged implementations

PMC mezzanine cards
BVM has updated its selection of PMC mezzanine cards, designed to add additional capability to VMEbus and CompactPCI systems.
Popular modules provide easily implemented interfaces to external hardware.
The PMCUSB2 is a five-port USB module that gives three USB2.0 ports at the front of the card and two at the rear.
The PMCSATA module provides two independent interfaces for hard disks; the PMCCF2 is a Compactflash and IDE Controller supporting up to 1GB of removable non-volatile memory on two Compactflash cards, giving removable storage and boot capability for many different operating systems.
The PMCDIO32CC is an opto-isolated, conduction-cooled I/O card with 16 input and 16 output 32-bit channels complete with an integral programmable input de-bounce timer, change of state interrupt generator, and a programmable watchdog timer with interrupt.
Other functions available include Firewire IEEE1394, SCSI, and Ethernet.
Designed for rugged implementations, the PMC specification combines the electrical characteristics of the PCI bus with the mechanical dimensions of the IEEE 1386 Common Mezzanine Card.
