MPIO, Multipurpose Power and I/O Controller Specification

MPIO is a multipurpose Power and I/O controller. It has 24 output control lines and 24 input status lines for general purpose control function. Optionally, it can be fitted to provide three power sources with +/- 15% voltage margin under software control. It also has built-in interface to control up to four Bus Isolation Extenders and one CardBus / PCMCIA Tester made by PMasia.com. The MPIO is made in USA with one year warranty.
Product Features:
  • PC/AT adapter card form factor.
  • Programmable and selectable I/O addresses.
  • Selectable interrupt sources and IRQ lines.
  • Three groups of eight TTL output control lines, with selectable power up Hi and Lo states.
  • Three groups of eight TTL input control/status lines, capable of requesting wait state and issue interrupt.
  • Direct interface, under software control, to four Bus Isolation Extenders made by Adex Electronics.
  • Direct interface, under software control, to one CardBus / PCMCIA Tester (CBTSTR) made by PMasia.com, capable of controlling the +5V and +3V power sources on the CBTSTR to +/- 15% margin.
  • Accommodates three optional power modules that can be controlled under software to +/- 15% voltage margin with digital voltage read back. Each module is capable of supplying 2 to 3 amps of power with software on/off control and power up condition.
Product Specifications:
  • Bus: PC/AT ISA form factor.
  • I/O address: Four user selectable sets of 16 I/O addresses. Fully custom programmable.
  • Output Control: Three sets of 8 bit TTL control lines. Each set has 4 power up Hi and 4 power Lo control lines or all can be cleared during reset or power up.
  • Input Control: Three sets of 8 bit TTL input lines with one dedicated interrupt and one wait state request line.
  • Bus Isolation Extender Interface: Up to four Bus Isolation Extenders can be controlled under software. User can issue power on and signal on control signals and monitor the status. Four interface lines are used per interface.
  • CBTSTR Interface: Controls the +5V and +3.3V power sources of the CardBus / PCMCIA Tester. Each power source can be set to +/- 15% voltage margin with 1/64th of voltage resolution. Each set voltage and the real supplied VCC voltage to the CardBus / PCMCIA cards can be monitored by on-board analog to digital converter.
  • Power Module: Up to three power modules can be added to the board. Each power module can be controlled to within +/- 15% of nominal voltage. Voltage resolution is 1/64th of voltage range. Each set voltage can be monitored by on-board analog to digital converter. The modules accept up to 2 standard PC peripheral power connector for Input power source and provides 2 to 3 amps of power through two sets of 18 gauge wire terminal blocks. In addition, each power module can be switched on and off under software control. Each module can be programmed power up (reset) to On or Off, and Hi, Normal, or Lo margin.
  • Environment: 0-70 degree C, operating.
  • Dimension: Height: 4.8 inches; Length: 11.5 inches (not including the mounting bracket).
