Unlike typical I/O expansion boards, Mini PCIe allows additional I/O functions to be added to a system with almost no increase in overall system / package size. Mini PCIe modules provide a simple, economical, and standardized way to add I/O functions to embedded computer products. Digital I/O Details User LEDs In a very small package, this board provides four serial ports, twelve general purpose I/O lines, and three indicator LEDs. Small and flexible. Four serial ports that support RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 interfaces. Twelve general purpose I/O lines. Two user LEDs for use with GPIO pins. Application Programming Interface Simplifies software development Industrial Temperature Operation -40° to +85°C operation for harsh environments. MIL-STD-202G This serial plus GPIO module provides a traditional serial I/O interface for legacy communication. The serial ports operate in 4-wire mode with auto-direction control and baud rates up to 400 Kbps. Each port can be independently configured (hard jumpered) for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 operation. The twelve GPIO lines are independently configurable as an input or output. GPIO inputs can be set for normal or inverted level, and optionally set to generate an interrupt. GPIO outputs can be set to be normal HIGH or LOW state, or open drain. Qualified for high shock / vibration environments. The on-board indicator LEDs include one power indicator and two user LEDs that can be jumpered to GPIO pins. Latching Connectors This rugged product is designed and tested for full industrial temperature operation (-40º to +85ºC). It also meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Latching connectors provide additional ruggedization, making it at home in harsh environments. Prevents detachment failures. Class 3 Manufacturing (optional) IPC-A-610 Class 3 for applications requiring extreme reliability. The VL-MPEe-U2 board includes device drivers and the VersaAPI Application Programing Interface. The VersaAPI includes pre-defined calls to send or retrieve data from the on-board I/O ports. These calls greatly simplify development of the user code needed to access these ports. On the VL-MPEe-U2 board, the VersaAPI supports the on-board GPIO lines. The VersaAPI is compatible with Windows, Windows Embedded, and Linux operating systems. This I/O board is compatible with a variety of popular x86 operating systems including Windows, Windows Embedded, Linux, VxWorks, and QNX. The module utilizes PCIe signaling and can be used in any system that supports PCIe signaling at the Mini PCIe socket. It is manufactured to IPC-A-610 Class 2 standards. Class 3 versions are available for extremely-highreliability applications. Product customization is available, even in low quantities. Options include conformal coating, applicationspecific testing, BOM revision locks, special labeling, etc. VersaLogic Corporation  •  (503) 747-2261  •  Info@VersaLogic.com  •  www.VersaLogic.com C O R P O R A T I O Serial + GPIO Mini PCIe Module N Specifications Ordering Information Model Function VL-MPEe-U2E Four serial ports.
