8062 & 8063 ECM Carriers - Altera based
Configurable IO on a PMC

Customized I/O on a PMC Board

Model 8062 and 8063

  • Build your own custom PMC I/O board by mixing and matching modular components
  • Highly configurable and off the shelf
  • FPGA based modules
  • Incorporate multiple functions on a single board
  • Fast reconfiguration by exchanging modules and reprogramming
  • Design and build application specific solutions
  • -40c to+85c operating temperatures
  • Conduction cooled versions

Configurable PMC I/O Solutions provide a flexible architecture that allows designers to create customized board level I/O solutions using off the shelf modular components that can be assembled to deliver thousands of I/O combinations. Build I/O systems that are virtually obsolescence proof by using a common set of components and at the same time reduce the high costs and long lead times typical in product development cycles.

Configurable I/O solutions allow system designers to move rapidly from prototype to production using FPGA based PMC carrier cards (IEEE-P1386.1 compliant) and a wide selection of 1.25" square electrical conversion modules (ECMs). All Configurable I/O products perform at _40C to + 85C operating temperatures. Conduction cooled versions available. Contact Elma about individual data sheets. Consider combining your Configurable PMC I/O with a single board computer for a fully integrated board level bundle in VME or CompactPCI.

As an example, build a PMC solution around a 16K logic element FPGA carrier card (model 8063G) and a combination of a pair of 8 bit DIO ECMs (model 14) plus a pair of RS232 and RS422 I/O ECMs (model 11) or select four different ECMs.
