  • Single 16-bit SRAM replaces 8-bit of IE-P
  • Multiplexer (8 single or 4 diff) for analog inputs
  • Optional 12/14/16-bit high-speed parallel ADC
  • Optional 4 channels of 5ms 12-bit DAC


Description:

The i386-Engine-M is an enhanced version of the IE-P with the same mechanical and electrical features. IE-M is an excellent high performance controller for high speed data acquisition and motion control.

A single 16-bit SRAM chip replaces three 8-bit SRAM chips used on the IE-P. The 16-bit SRAM with battery backup and the 16-bit FLASH allows the i386EX to operate using the 16-bit data bus for code execution and data access. A 16-bit SRAM of 128KB/256KW must be installed.

An optional 12-bit ADC (LTC1415, 1 MHz, 0-4.096V), or 12/14-bit ADC (LTC1409, 800K, +-2.5V), or 16-bit ADC (LTC1605, 100K, 0-4V) can be installed with an analog multiplexer (508 or 509) of 8 single-ended or 4 pair of differential inputs. A high speed 12-bit DAC7625 contains four precision output buffer amplifiers, providing 3us output setting time and outputs of 0 to 2.5V with an external 2.5V reference.

The i386-Engine shares a similar pin-out and physical dimensions with the 586-Engine, A-Engine, and V25-Engine-LM.
