Multi-Function I/O Card
$7,478.00
Concurrent’s Multi-Function I/O PCIe card features a powerful field-programmable gate array that supports both digital and analog I/O. The Multi-Function card can control up to 96 digital I/O signals along with 16 analog inputs and 16 analog outputs. The card features isolated I/O power, high-speed digital isolators and multi-board synchronization. Optional NIST traceable calibration is available for the analog section. A RedHawk™ Linux® driver with extensive API including DMA and interrupt support is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
Each request is reviewed by our engineering and sales teams to ensure configuration accuracy, system compatibility, and delivery requirements.
The CP-MFIO Multi-Function I/O PCIe Card is an FPGA-based solution designed to provide combined digital and analog I/O capabilities within a single platform. The card supports high-channel-count digital I/O along with integrated analog input and output, making it suitable for real-time simulation, control, and data acquisition applications.
Designed for use in Concurrent Real-Time systems, the card enables deterministic I/O performance while supporting synchronization across multiple boards.
Combined Digital and Analog I/O
The CP-MFIO supports a mix of digital and analog signals, including:
- 96-channel digital I/O (5V TTL, 3.3V available)
- 16-channel 16-bit digital-to-analog outputs
- 16-channel 16-bit analog inputs
Digital I/O direction is configurable per nibble, allowing flexible control of input and output behavior across channels.
Analog Signal Capabilities
The analog output channels support selectable voltage ranges, including:
- 0 to +10V
- ±5V
- ±10V
Analog inputs support both differential and single-ended configurations with input ranges of ±5V or ±10V. This allows the card to interface with a variety of external signal types.
High-Speed Data Conversion
The card supports:
- Up to 100K updates per second per channel for analog outputs
- Up to 300K updates per second per channel for analog inputs
This enables real-time interaction with external systems and accurate signal processing.
Deterministic FPGA-Based Architecture
Built on an FPGA platform, the CP-MFIO provides deterministic performance required for real-time applications. The card includes:
- High-speed digital isolators
- Isolated power on all I/O
- 1GB DRAM for buffering
- TCXO clock source
- 8-output programmable clock generator
These features support stable operation and precise timing control.
Multi-Board Synchronization
The card supports synchronization across multiple systems using RJ-45 connectors, enabling coordinated operation when scaling channel counts or distributing workloads across systems.
System Integration and Connectivity
The CP-MFIO is implemented as a PCIe x4 full-length, full-height card. External connectivity is provided through 68-pin SCSI VHD connectors for I/O access.
Software Support
The card is supported by RedHawk Linux, with a driver that includes DMA and interrupt capabilities. It integrates with SIMulation Workbench (SimWB) for configuration and use in real-time simulation environments.
Optional NIST traceable calibration is available for the analog sections.
Applications
This card is designed for systems requiring a combination of digital and analog I/O, including:
- Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation
- Real-time control systems
- Data acquisition and signal processing
- Test and measurement environments
