MVME2528 – 128-bit TTL Digital I/O Module Merlin Embedded announces the release of the MVME2528; a drop-in-replacement for the GE VMIC VMIVME-2528

The MVME2528 replaces the VMIVME-2528. The VMIVME-2528, originally from GE (VMIC), has gone obsolete and has reached its end of life. Merlin Embedded has designed, and produces, a true Drop-in-Replacement (DIR) that is form, fit, and function compatible with the VMIVME-2528. This is a new, pin-for-pin compatible, equally functional product, that will provide users a seamless replacement with no software or cabling changes to their system.

The register map is exactly the same as the VMIVME-2528, to guarantee software compatibility. The I/O connections are also the same as the VMIVME-2528 allowing the same cables to work with the Merlin Embedded MVME2528.

• 128 channels of Digital I/O
• Arranged in 16, 8-bit Ports
• Each bit can sink an output Current of 24mA max

It conforms to VME Specifications Revision C.1 IEEE Std. 1014-1987. A conduction-cooled version is available. Conformal coating is standard on all Merlin Embedded products.
