Adapter Boards Offer I/O Expansion Capabilities

Embedded Systems Conference, April 2010 – The SUMIT/FP adapter board allows the use of FeaturePak I/O expansion modules in systems that provide SUMIT-ISM expansion stack locations. The FeaturePak socket on the SUMIT/FP adapter consumes a single PCI Express x1 lane from the SUMIT-A bus connector on the SUMIT-ISM module. The adapter provides a pair of 50-pin I/O header connectors for access to all FeaturePak I/O. In addition, it includes pass-through connectors for the SUMIT-ISM stack’s SUMIT-B bus and PC/104 (ISA) bus and an extended operation temperature range of -40°C to +85°C is supported. Price for the SUMIT/FP adapter is $190. DIAMOND SYSTEMS CORP., Mountain View, CA. (800) 367-2104.
