Like the power-saving Qseven™ COMs, FeaturePak™ I/O modules interface to the baseboard via a single low-cost 230-pin MXM connector. The FeaturePak™ host interface consists of PCI Express™, USB, I2C and several interface signals, which map directly to the Qseven™ MXM connector interface. Furthermore FeaturePak™ modules offer up to 100 application I/Os per module. The host interface is compatible to Intel® and RISC based embedded systems.
Bernhard Andretzky, Product Marketing Manager, Embedded Computer Technology, MSC Vertriebs GmbH, said: „The FeaturePak™ I/O expansion modules will accelerate the design of application-optimized baseboards for our innovative Qseven™ and COM Express™ modules.“
The FeaturePak™ Initiative is supported by the originator Diamond Systems Corp., Connect Tech, Cogent Computer Systems, congatec, Hectronic, IXXAT Automation, Douglas Electronics, Arbor Technology and VIA Technologies.
