DIO BNC

DIO_BNC is an extension module (EEM) supplying 8 digital IOs via front-panel BNCs.

Design files (schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs) can be found at DIO_BNC/Releases.

Overview

  • Occupies one EEM port
  • Two banks of four channels each
  • Each bank with individual ground isolation
  • Per-bank switchable direction via on-board switches or I2C
  • Per-channel switchable 50 Ohm termination with LED indicators
  • Output channels can supply >2V into 50 Ohm loads
  • Output channel impedance: 50 Ohm
  • Short circuit tolerance: infinite
  • Minimum pulse width: 3ns
  • Max 150 MHz toggle rate with 50% duty cycle
  • input range: -0.5V...5.5V
  • output range: according to SN74BCT25245DW datasheet
  • IO direction switched in groups of 4 channels
  • Panel width: 8HP

MCX connector option

If MCX connectors are preferred over BNC then the MCX_BNC_adapter adaptor can be used. This can be installed during manufacture or the conversion can be done by the user. The MCX connectors allow use of a 4HP panel instead of the 8HP required for BNCs.
