SPX EXPANSION MODULES Simplified I/O Expansion ƒƒ Cost effective I/O expansion ƒƒ Bolts to PC/104 stack (optional) ƒƒ Off-the-shelf and custom modules available Highlights Overview Small Footprint VersaLogic’s SPX expansion modules provide a new level of economy and convenience for routine I/O expansion. Their small size, low cost, and simplified system interface are possible due to high levels of integration and miniaturization that were not previously available. 1.2” x 3.8” size is ideal for space-constrained applications. Industrial Temperature All SPX™ modules designed for -40º to 85ºC operation. Multiple I/O Expansion Up to four SPX modules can be used in each system. Ease of Use Simple cable-based interface. Unlike larger expansion formats such as PC/104, the extremely compact SPX format does not require a stacking connector or a position in the expansion stack. Connected by a single 14-pin cable to any SPX-enabled base board, SPX expansion modules can be mounted in any position, up to two feet from the host. The small (1.2” x 3.8”) SPX modules may optionally be attached to the base board using PC/104 stand-offs. Flexibility Up to four SPX modules can be daisy-chained together to meet targeted I/O requirements at a substantial cost and space savings. Typical functions available include: Custom I/O Functions ƒƒ ƒƒ ƒƒ ƒƒ ƒƒ Mount on expansion stack, or up to two feet away. Custom I/O solutions are quick to develop. RoHS-compliant Standard modules are fully compliant. 8-channel Analog Input 16-bit Digital I/O 4-channel Analog Output CANbus Controller 8-channel Solid State Switch SPX modules can be used with baseboards (single board computers) that include an SPX expansion connector. This includes products such as VersaLogic’s Python and Sidewinder SBCs. SPX modules can also be used with other systems that include an SPI signaling interface. Custom cabling and signaling restrictions may apply when connecting to generic SPI signals.

Standoff Pkg, Metric Thread All VersaLogic SPX modules are fully RoHS-compliant, and are backed by VersaLogic’s standard two-year limited warranty. All SPX modules are rated for extended temperature operation (-40º to 85ºC). Like all VersaLogic products, SPX I/O modules are designed to support OEM applications where high reliability and long-term availability are essential. From ease of application designin to a five year availability guarantee, their quality and longevity provide low-cost, long-term solutions for demanding applications. SPX modules are manufactured to the highest quality standards. In addition to standard off-the-shelf modules, VersaLogic can design custom SPX modules for a nominal fee.

This allows a single chip interface between the I/O device and the SPX interface. The simplified system interface means that custom I/O functions are inexpensive and straightforward to implement. Multiple SPX modules, up to four per system, can be used at once. Modules of the same or different I/O type can be daisy-chained together using a single cable with multiple connectors. The modules are connected to the baseboard via a 14-pin cable. External I/O signals are typically connected directly to SPX modules via the onboard screw terminals. The 14-pin SPX interface cable typically provides up to 500mA of fused +5V power for use by the connected modules. Custom modules for most functions are very easy to develop on the SPX platform.
