C O R P O R A T I O N Analog Input Mini PCIe Module Extremely small Mini PCIe module format Eight analog input channels 12 or 16-bit resolution Industrial temp. (-40 to +85C) operation MIL-STD-202G shock / vibe Latching connector Highlights Overview The VL-MPEe-A1 is an extremely small and rugged analog input module based on the industry-standard Mini PCIe Module Format Mini PCIe module format. Unlike typical I/O expansion boards, Mini PCIe allows additional I/O functions to Small and flexible. be added to a system with almost no increase in overall system / package size. Mini PCIe modules provide a simple, economical, and standardized way to add I/O functions to embedded computer products. Analog Input Eight single-ended / four differential channels. 12 or 16-bit resolution. Details Digital I/O Three GPIO lines. In a very small package, this analog board provides eight single-ended or four differential input channels. The VL-MPEe-A1 model provides 12-bit resolution, while the VL-MPEe-A2 model provides 16-bit resolution. Application Programming Interface Simplifies software development. Operating at 100,000 samples per second, each input channel is individually configurable for an input range of 0 to 5V, -5 to +5V, 0 to +10V, and -10 to +10V. Industrial Temperature Operation -40 to +85C operation for harsh environments. In addition, the board provides three general purpose digital I/O lines which are independently configurable for input, output, or interrupts. MIL-STD-202G Qualified for high shock / vibration environments. This rugged product is designed and tested for full industrial temperature operation (-40 to +85C). It also meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration, making it at home in harsh environments. Latching Connector Prevents detachment failures. The VL-MPEe-A1 board is supported by device drivers and the VersaAPI Application Programing Interface. The VersaAPI includes pre-defined calls to send or retrieve data from the on-board I/O ports. These calls Class 3 Manufacturing (optional) greatly simplify development of the user code needed to access these ports. On the VL-MPEe-A1 board, the IPC-A-610 Class 3 for applications requiring extreme reliability. VersaAPI supports the on-board A/D channels and GPIO lines. The VersaAPI is compatible with Windows, Windows Embedded, and Linux operating systems. This analog input board is compatible with a variety of popular x86 operating systems including Windows, Windows Embedded, and Linux. The module utilizes PCIe signaling and can be used in any system that supports PCIe signaling at the Mini PCIe socket. It is manufactured to IPC-A-610 Class 2 standards. Class 3 versions are available for extremely-high- reliability applications. Product customization is available, even in low quantities. Options include FPGA customization, conformal coating, application-specific testing, BOM revision locks, special labeling, etc. VersaLogic Corporation 12100 SW Tualatin Rd., Tualatin, OR 97062 (503) 747-2261 Info VersaLogic.com www.VersaLogic.comAnalog Input C O R P O R A T I O N Mini PCIe Module Specifications Ordering Information Board Size Mini PCIe module (full size): 30 mm x 50.95 mm x 6.37 mm General Model Function Operating Power Requirements 3.3V 5% 0.45W (from the Mini PCIe socket) Temp.
