PMC module with four UART interfaces
30 November 2009
MEN Mikro Elektronik presents a PMC module with four fast RS422/485 UART interfaces.
The P507 is qualified for the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and prepared for coating against dust and humidity which makes it especially suited for safety-critical and mobile applications. Long-term availability at least up to 2019 is guaranteed.
The P507 is a 32bit/33MHz PMC module with four UARTs for fast serial data transfer. It supports full duplex (with RS422) and half duplex operation (with RS485). Each channel of this mezzanine module has its own 500V isolation, making it possible to realise transfer rates of up to 921,600bits/s. All ports are available on the 50pin D-Sub front connector.
The UART functionality of the P507 is realised inside its onboard FPGA which can be modified any time by implementing new IP cores in order to meet the customer's requirements. Following the USM (Universal Submodules) concept, the FPGA of the P507 is located on the main PMC; the line drivers are implemented on a submodule, the USM.
The P507 can be used on any PMC compliant host carrier board in any type of bus system independent of the application, such as CompactPCI, VME or on any type of stand-alone SBC in telecommunication, industrial, medical, transportation or aerospace applications. Optionally, it is possible to equip the PMC with its own intelligence via a Nios softcore. These features combined with a long-term availability for at least 10 years, guarantee flexibility and future-safety for the user's project.
