AMC096

A MicroTCA digital I/O module is a plug-in board for a MicroTCA system that provides digital input and output signals to external equipment.

It is an AMC module and may include:

• Digital inputs to read switches, sensors, interlocks, trigger signals, or status lines
• Digital outputs to control relays, actuators, enables, alarms, or trigger lines
• FPGA or logic circuitry for fast timing, pulse generation, event capture, or protocol handling
• Front-panel connectors for the external signals
• Backplane communication to a CPU, MCH, or other modules in the chassis

Common electrical interfaces include:

• TTL or LVTTL
• LVDS
• RS-422 or RS-485
• Opto-isolated industrial I/O

As a standardized platform of PICMG MicroTCA systems are typically used in medical applications, telecommunications as well as in measurement systems for industrial and scientific applications (e.g. particle physics).

Description:

AMC096 is a single module, compact size (mid-size and full- size options are available) AdvancedMC (AMC) 24-channel isolated digital input board. The AMC096 has twelve voltage source +5 to +66V opto-isolated channels and twelve contact sense +5 to +66V opto-isolated channels.

The digital inputs can be simultaneously used in more than one of several modes. For example, each input channel can be used to periodically read the current state of a contact closure, and to count the number of times that the closure was opened or closed over a period of time (de-bounce time).

Each input channel is independent and is processed separately, so activity on one channel has no effect on other channels. A change of state on one channel can be detected and stored while the de-bouncer is timing on another channel.

Key Features:

• 24-channel isolated input
• Single module, compact size (mid-size and full-size available)
• Front panel I/O connectivity in a half-size AMC compliant form factor
• Programmable de-bounce times are software controlled on a channel-by-channel basis
• 1 ms measurement interval
• Change-Of-State (COS) selections:
  • Disabled
  • Rising edge, low-to-high transition
  • Falling edge, high-to-low transition
  • Level sensitive
• Interrupt levels are user selectable
• AMC.1 compliant
• IPMI 2.0 compliant
• RoHS compliant
