AcroPack® modules improve on the mini PCIe form factor by adding a down-facing connector that securely routes I/O signals through the host carrier card without any extra cabling. Carrier cards are available in Mini-ITX, PCIe, VPX, XMC and other formats. These carriers provide direct access to the field I/O signals through front-panel CHAMP connectors or the rear backplane. At only 30 x 70mm per module, up to four AcroPacks can plug into a single carrier card in any I/O combination. More than 25 AcroPack modules are now offered for a wide variety of analog I/O, digital I/O, communication, and FPGA computing functions. Avionics, fieldbus, and other functions are coming soon.

Designed for COTS Applications

Designed for COTS applications these general purpose I/O modules deliver high-speed and high-resolution A/D and D/A, digital I/O, Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, serial communication, and re-configurable FPGA functions. Utilizing all solid-state components, these modules consume very little power and are designed to perform in commercial as well as extreme environments from -40 to 85 deg.C for conduction-cooled applications.

To further simplify the integration of AcroPack mezzanine modules into your host system, they maintain the same functionality and memory map of Acromag’s existing Industry Pack (IP) modules.

Acromag provides software support packages for embedded applications running on Linux, Windows, or VxWorks operating systems. These libraries provide generic routines to handle reads, writes, interrupts, and other functions. Demonstration programs enable the developer to quickly exercise the I/O modules before attaching the routines to the application program. This diagnostic tool can save hours of troubleshooting and debugging.

These modules feature a solid down connector I/O interface that replaces flimsy ribbon I/O cables. Watch a video demonstrating this. 

The COTS product line of AcroPacks are RoHS compliant and are ideal for scientific development labs, military and aerospace applications, the defense industry, and automation applications.
