FLEXIO Flexible IO Solutions for PIP40 System

​

Valued reader,

The FLEXIO product is a powerful FPGA module, enabling an easy and flexible integration of peripherals. The aim of the FLEXIO module is to connect simple interfaces such as analog / digital IO, PWM, SPI, I2C, etc without any special speed requirements.
Up to 4 front-end modules can be connected to the FLEXIO I/O-controller. The front-end modules enable the installation of specific connectors in the front of the device and the fulfillment of ESD/EMC device requirements, etc. The connection between the FLEXIO and the frontend modules will take place via a standardized, identical interface.

​

  FPGA based I/O-controller
    •  Full PCIe mini card formfactor
    •  Lockable headers
    •  Standardized pin assignment
    •  Serves up to 4 front-end modules
    •  Automatic front-end module detection
    •  Content can be updated in the field
