The 7I61 USB interfaced I/O card has 96 I/O bits of easy-to-access programmable input/output. The card uses a Spartan 6 FPGA and the 25 Mbyte/s USB port is used for downloading initial configurations either directly to the FPGA or to the serial EEPROM.
The board’s I/O bits are available on four 50-pin connectors and several I/O interface daughter cards are available, including those for servo amp, resolver, and RS-422/485 functions. The card can be powered by the USB host. ($165 ea/100 available now.)
