COMs Application-Specific Solutions Baseboard I/O Functionality Extension Of Your R&D Team Program Development Flow

BASEBOARD I/O FUNCTIONALITY

Contact Us
Email us to discuss your application-specific COMs Baseboard needs!

The I/O portion of your baseboard is divided into two categories: Standard system I/O from the COM CPU module itself and custom I/O built onto the baseboard. Diamond Systems application engineers work with you to bring the COM I/O you need out to connectors of your choice on the baseboard. Next we help you select from our extensive selection of proven I/O circuitry, including analog I/O, digital I/O, communications and networking to provide the specific additional functionality needed for your application.

We can include your own custom application circuitry, or, if necessary, create new logic blocks to meet your needs. Because many of Diamond Systems’ I/O logic blocks are based on reprogrammable FPGA technology, we can also provide existing FPGA code to implement many I/O functions or create new FPGA code to implement application-specific I/O requirements. As your needs change, new designs can be downloaded to the FPGA to upgrade your board without incurring engineering redesign expenses.
