True 16-bit PC/104 Analog I/O Module for non-DMA Systems has Filters, IRQs, Digital I/O, Ext Temp, and Autoscan Mode
Montrose, CA...Micro/sys announces the latest addition to our family of popular PC/104 stack-on embedded data acquisition modules offering 32 channels of 16-bit analog-to-digital input and 4 channels of 14-bit digital-to-analog output. Designed to address the decreasing ability of the PC/104 bus to support the growing number of non-DMA processors in the embedded Intel family, the MPC565 implements First In, First Out (FIFO) registers to organize and pass back-and-forth A/D communication. By utilizing the FIFO registers, users gain the advantage of simultaneous read/write functions at convenient intervals without tying up valuable CPU time. Significant design attention was given to maintaining a low noise analog subsystem that could deliver true 16-bit and 14-bit performance. The rigorous analog input subsystem includes programmable gain amplifiers, programmable low-pass filters, a 16-channel differential input mode (DI), and input overvoltage protection to ±40V, with power on or off. The analog output subsystem includes 1-pole low-pass filters, and output buffers capable of driving cables and other highly capacitive loads. An on-board EEPROM holds calibration data that can be used for installed, end-to-end calibration of input channels.

StackableUSB™
Standards Organization Moves to Incorporate USB 3.0
Montrose, CA... As
StackableUSB gains market recognition in the embedded, sensor, military and
robotic industries, Chairperson Susan Wooley has announced the organization is
moving forward with the approval of a single USB 3.0 channel inside the popular
StackableUSB connector. By defining pins which had "quietly" been left
undefined, the USB 3.0 channel will enable the StackableUSB connector to
deliver actual throughput greater than 5 Gbits/sec which is 10 times the speed
of a single Hi-Speed USB channel. With this announcement, StackableUSB gains
throughput similar to PCIe Gen 2.0 and Serail ATA (SATA) III without the burden
of mixing these very complex and distinctly different protocols inside a single
connector.
