Acromag's new I/O Extension Module Adds Analog and Digital I/O Processing Capabilities to FPGA Computing Boards

New AXM-A75 multi-function I/O module from Acromag plugs into their PMC and XMC FPGA cards to provide front-end A/D conversion, D/A outputs, and discrete level monitoring/control functions.

“The AXM-A75 multi-function I/O module simplifies the interface between an FPGA and sensors or controllers” explained Joseph Primeau, Acromag’s sales and marketing director. AXM extension modules like the AXM-A75 provide a convenient method to interface real-world signals to and from the FPGA for high-speed measurement and control operations.

There are sixteen differential analog input channels on the AXM-A75. Each input has its own high-speed 16-bit 250kHz A/D converter offering the ability to simultaneously sample all channels. A low-pass filter removes unwanted EMI. The input range is ±10 volts with programmable gain of 1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x. Serial FLASH memory stores the factory calibration constants.

Two quad DAC devices drive eight analog output channels with a range of ±10V. Each channel has its own high-speed 16-bit D/A converter which allows updating of individual channels or all outputs simultaneously. The D/A settling time is 10µS.

Sixteen bi-directional digital I/O channels provide the ability to read or write 5V logic levels on TTL devices. Each I/O channel is individually configurable as an input or output for great flexibility to match your requirements. The open drain outputs are pulled high via a pull-up resistor.
