I/O Cards

Finding I/O modules to integrate into real-time, mission-critical systems can be difficult. Fast and reliable movement of information between the various elements in the interconnected system requires rugged, high-performance solutions to support intelligent analog I/O for frequency and time-domain applications, as well as digital I/O, MIL-STD-1553, and other I/O. These cards are designed to deliver optimal performance in extreme temperature and vibration conditions. Interoperable with our range of SBC, FPGA, and GPU modules, these highly reliable cards are designed to simplify integration and let you focus on your application, not low-level connectivity.

Analog I/O & Digital Receivers

VPX, XMC, PMC, and FMC card-based sensor I/O solutions are designed to handle the toughest operating environments while packing maximum functionality in a minimal physical footprint. These analog I/O, digital transceivers, and receivers include I/O for frequency and time-domain applications, as well as digital I/O.
