■
Choice of two prototyping
boards and 4 VXI Shield
Kits
Fastest way to build any size
VXIbus module.

ing Board with holes on
0.1 centers plus power
and ground planes.
Breadboard analog or digital
circuits.
■
CAD Design aids for
PC board layout.
Upward migration path to a
PC board without major
redesign.
■
User configurable VXI
response registers.
Personalizes the finished
module as your product.
ICS's VXI-5501 and VXI-5502 Proto-
type Kits are flexible, low-cost solutions for
developing prototype or short-run VXIbus
modules. Both kits use ICS's VXI-5524 Reg-
ister-based Interface card to interface with
the VXIbus. The VXI-5524 provides the
user with a simple but powerful interface
for controlling his circuits from the VXI-
bus. The user circuits are constructed on the
supplied bare or prototyping board that
mates with the VXI-5524 to form a complete
'C' size, VXI module as shown below.
A choice of VXI hardware shield kits
lets the user assemble one, two or three-slot
wide modules which accommodate stan-
dard or oversize components or even wire-
wrap tails. Applications are fabricating pro-
totype VXIbus modules, packaging circuits
in VXIbus modules and building short-run
modules.
Each hardware kit includes the side
shields, front panel, and all hardware to
finish the module. The VXI-5501 Kit in-
cludes a bare copper-clad board for mount-
ing RF devices. The VXI-5502 Kit includes
a prototyping board
with holes on 0.1 inch
centers for mounting
sockets or components.
VXI Interface
ICS's VXI-5524 VXI Interface Card is a
VXI register-based interface that meets the
latest VXI-1 and VXI-2 Specifications for an
Extended Register Based Device. The VXI-
5524 Interface Card provides all of the VXI
required registers and makes all of the de-
vice register addresses available to the user's
circuits in a way that is the easiest for the user
to use. The user can alter the default values
in the VXI-5524's registers to personalize the
finished VXI module as his product. The
user's setting can be saved and recalled at
power turn-on.
The VXI-5524 provides the user with a
48 line parallel digital interface for control-
ling or reading signals, a 16-bit wide data
expansion bus for driving additional cir-
cuits, an interrupt input and two VXIbus
Trigger lines. In some applications, the VXI-
5524's registers provide all of the needed
signals so that the user does not have to
construct additional decoding or driver cir-
cuits. The user's interface also includes all
seven VXIbus power lines, a selectable clock
and ground.
