Functional description
The KPCI-3160 is a 96-bit parallel digital interface board designed for the PCI bus. The
KPCI-3160 works in a Windows 95/98/NT environment and takes advantage of the 32-bit width.
Applications include communicating with peripherals, operating Keithley relay boards, and
reading switch inputs. All I/O lines are TTL compatible.
Standard digital I/O emulation
The 96 I/O lines emulate the I/O lines of four Intel 8255 Programmable Peripheral Interface
(PPI) chips configured for control register mode 0, as follows:
•
For each emulated 8255 chip there is a PA port, a PB port, and a PC port.
•
Each PA and PB port is byte-wide (8-bits) and can be set independently under software con-
trol as inputs or outputs.
