PC/104 Peripheral Boards

GPIO-104

General Purpose Input / Output

Improved reliability while reducing system cost and complexity is what the GPIO-104 is all about. Many PC/104 embedded systems need both Digital and Analog Input / Output capabilities. This can be done with multiple specific function boards but system cost and size can suffer. Our GPIO-104 combines the most popular peripherals in one board.

• Eight 12-bit multi-range analog inputs
• Four 12-bit multi-range analog outputs
• 24 digital I/O channels
• Single +5V power requirement

ADIO-104

All-In-One PC/104 Module

The ADIO-104 builds on the popularity of the GPIO-104 by doubling the number of Analog Input and Outputs channels. The digital I/O is also enhanced by the inclusion of four dedicated MOSFET open-drain outputs, ideal for directly driving 24VDC relays or LEDs.

• Sixteen 12-bit multi-range analog inputs
• Eight 12-bit multi-range analog outputs
• 24 digital I/O channels
• Four open-drain MOSFET digital outputs
• One 8-bit pulse accumulator / counter
• Single +5V power requirement

DIO24-104

24 Channel Digital I/O

If your PC/104 application needs to connect to Solid-State I/O, LEDs, Relays, Switches or similar external devices the DIO24-104 is a proven solution. Each of the 24 digital channels can be software configured to operate as either an Input or Output.  Specially designed output stages provide high sink current capability.

• Individually programmable channel direction
• High output current, 85ma sink per channel
• Input Interrupt feature
• Compatible with standard Solid-State I/O racks

DIO96-104

96-Bit Digital I/O

Applications requiring a large number of digital I/O will benefit from our DIO96-104. The board is based around the venerable 82C55A Peripheral Interface chip which provides three 8-bit bi-directional ports (24 digital I/O). The DIO96-104 uses four 82C55A chips for a total of 96 bits of digital I/O. Each chip is routed to its own 26-pin IDC header for easy system integration.

• Uses industry standard 82C55A chips
• Supports Input, Output, and Strobed operations
• Low power CMOS deign

RELAYIO-104

8 Relay Outputs, 8 Optically Isolated Inputs

The RELAYIO-104 is an 8-bit digital I/O peripheral module offering electrical isolation between the host and externally connected devices. It conforms to the PC/104 standard and operates on a +5V only power. A single 40-pin I/O header is used for all external wiring.

Embedded applications often involve the controlling and sensing of various external AC and DC signals while also requiring electrical isolation for the host computer. External solid state relay racks or similar devices are often considered but can be too bulky in many situations. The RELAYIO-104 allows field signals to be brought to the PC/104 system. It has the flexibility to accept combinations of AC and DC signals and offers 250V host-to-field isolation.

• Eight SPDT (form-C) Relay Outputs
• Eight optically isolated AC/DC digital inputs
• Input filters for AC and noisy signals
• 250V isolation between PC/104 bus and I/O signals

IOCP-74

PIC Based I/O Co-Processor

The IOCP-74 is a user configurable I/O processing sub-system for PC/104 bus computers designed to relieve the host from performing rudimentary I/O operations and offers fast front-end response demanded by many real-time systems.

A Microchip PIC microcontroller controls the on-board circuitry and executes user programmed logic functions and algorithms independently from the host. A 40 pin socket accepts several PIC microcontrollers including the popular PIC16F877 and PIC18F4520. Standard features include: Analog I/O, Digital I/O, Counter/Timers, EEPROM, and Serial Communications. Custom hardware can be added by means of the on-board prototyping area.

• On-Board PIC microcontroller
• Operates independently from PC/104 host
• Five Analog Inputs
• Two analog outputs
• One RS-232/RS-485 port
• Includes IOCPbios software

ISA10416

16 Bit ISA to PC/104 Bus Adapter

The ISA10416 is a half-size ISA card that allows 8-bit and 16-bit PC/104 modules to be used in a legacy ISA bus computers. In operation, a PC/104 module is installed on the ISA10416 card and the card is then inserted into one 16-bit slot within the PC ISA host.

The ISA10416 transparently performs a direct bus-to-bus conversion and operates at the full speed of the PC ISA host. All the facilities of the host computer are available to the PC/104 module including memory and I/O operations, DMA and interrupts. In addition, a through-hole prototyping area is provided for the construction of experimental and application specific circuitry.
