Product short description:
- Four RS232 serial ports
- Extended temperature
- PCIe Bus interface
The AP500 modules provide four asynchronous serial communication interfaces for your system. Software-configuration helps you quickly set baud rates, character-sizes, stop bits, and parity. Full signal support for modem control is also included.

AP500: Quad Serial RS232 Communication Module Description
The AP500 quad serial RS232 communication modules provide four asynchronous serial communication interfaces for your system. Software-configuration helps you quickly set baud rates, character-sizes, stop bits, and parity. Full signal support for modem control is also included.
For more efficient data processing, each serial port is equipped with 256-character FIFO buffers on the transmit and receive lines.
The data ports generate individually controlled transmit, receive, line status, and data set interrupts. All interrupts can be read from a single register.
Designed for COTS applications these serial RS232 communication mezzanine modules deliver high-density, high-reliability, and high-performance at a low cost.
AcroPack modules are RoHS compliant and ideal for military, defense, automation, aerospace, scientific, and development labs industries. The AcroPack® product line updates our popular Industry Pack I/O modules with a PCIe interface format.
This tech-refresh design offers a compact size, low-cost I/O, the same functionality and memory map of the existing Industry Pack modules and a rugged form factor.
The AP500 series maintains the same functionality and memory map of the existing Industry Pack modules providing a smooth transition to the AcroPack I/O modules.
The AP500 series modules are 70mm long, this is 19.05mm longer than the full-length mini-PCIe card at 50.95mm. The board’s width is the same as mPCIe board of 30mm and they use the same mPCIe standard board hold down standoff and screw keep out areas.
A down facing 100 pin Samtec connector will mate with the carrier card. Fifty of these signals are available as field I/O signals. Pin spacing and signal assignments will allow for 100V of signal to signal isolation.
