D.Modules are designed as a standalone platform for signal processing applications. The design goal was to provide a universal DSP "mainboard" which integrates all the basic components, circuits and interfaces required for signal processing applications. Like your Personal Computer's mainboard, a D.Module provides the processor, fast memory, serial and parallel interfaces, standardized "expansion slots", Flash Memory for nonvolatile storage (your "harddisk"), and a BIOS

Our Modules are widely used in industrial control, automation and scientific research applications. Performance, reliability, straightforward system integration, and long-term availability are key features of these modules. The D.Module.BIOS encapsulates the board hardware, handles all initialization tasks, and provides a programming interface for the on-board peripherals. Users don't have to struggle with hardware programming, but concentrate on the actual task: implementing the signal processing algorithms.
BIOS and the Setup Utility also provide ready-to-use solutions for boot load, in field and remote program updates, logic reprogramming, and installation-specific configuration files - vital features for service-friendly and easy to maintain end products.

As with a Personal Computer you add the required data acquisition devices and additional communications peripherals, and the system is ready to go. Excellent system adaptability is provided by the integration of reconfigurable logic: At least 16 I/O signals are user-programmable and can be configured to a variety of interfaces like bit-programmable I/O to SPI, I2C, quadrature encoder interfaces, PWM outputs, etc. - even surpassing the versatility of most microcontrollers.

 

D.Module.DSP Boards

The D.Module DSP boards are equipped with a high performance DSP, fast memories, Flash memory, a user-programmable CPLD, supervisor circuit, and UART. All busses and peripheral interfaces are routed to 2.54mm pitch connectors. The external bus allows to connect data acquisition, I/O, and communication daughter cards. D.Module peripherals can be mounted piggyback on the DSP module. You may also build your own carrier board including application specific I/O. The compact size allows to mount two modules (or module stacks) side by side on a Eurocard board (160x100 mm), leaving ample space for additional connectors.

The new D.Module2 family refines the D.Module DSP board family with even higher processing power, on-board USB2.0 interface, dual-channel UART, advanced BIOS, external bus transfer rates up to 500M Bytes/sec (ideally suited to interface with FPGAs), and high-density connectors, while maintaining the same form factor and self-stacking design.
