P10 (MEN MIKRO)

The P10 is based on the PC-MIP ANSI mezzanine standard. It can be used as an I/O extension in any type of bus system, i.e. CPCI, PXI, VME or on any type of stand-alone SBC. Appropriate PC-MIP carrier cards in 3U, 6U and other formats are available from MEN or other manufacturers. The P10 is a high-performance quadruple UART with RS232 interface. Each 16C950 UART channel has 128-deep transmit and receive FIFOs, with readable levels and user-defined thresholds. All UARTs are capable of delivering up to 15Mbps asynchronous data throughput simultaneously, and are software-compatible with commonly used 16C450, 550, 650 and 750 UARTs. The UARTs support Big Endian byte-lane conversion, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 bit data framing and Infra-red (IrDA) receiver and transmitter as well as several other sophisticated functions for high-end serial communication requirements. The P10 is supplied with RS232 line physics at the front and alternatively with TTL-level signals via the carrier board connector. This permits you to connect "SA adapters" with different line drivers (TTY, RS485 etc.) in a CPCI system via rear I/O.
