This LPC FMC card has eight channels, RS-xxx interfaces. The Channels are factory-defined/built when ordering the board.
Possible combinations/interfaces are RS232, RS422/RS485 Half Duplex, and RS422/RS485 Full Duplex.
Please use the format shown in the Order Information tab when placing an order!
The module can also be used as a PMOD interface. Please see the 4 block diagrams for potential combinations.
There is a breakout board and cable assembly that allows the ports to be accessed via DB9 connector.
Features
- RS422 or RS485 or RS232 input interfaces – orderable option, separate for each channel;
- All output interfaces are ESD protected, ESD protection built-in IC;
- THE main IC is SP339EER1-L;
- Total eight channels of RSxxx interfaces routed to Samtec right angle ERF8-020-01-L-D-RA-L-TR connector;
- Can order breakout board and cable assembly for easy access to channels via DB9 connectors.
- Supported VADJ levels 1.2V – 3.3V;
- VADJ and 3.3V required from FMC carrier;
- Power consumption: at 3.3V <= 20 mA, outputs not loaded, at VADJ <= 10 mA, signals not switching;
- Level translators for FMC usage, when PMOD used it not populated;
- Build option FMC connector or 8 6 pins PMOD male connectors with TTL signals;
- 3.3V or 5V supply and logic levels are supported when used in PMOD
Block Diagram


FMC-RSXXX-8 Ordering format:
The module has 8 distinct RS communications channels. Any of the 8 can be one of the following:
W-PMOD
X– RS232
Y-RS422/RS485 Half-Duplex
Z-RS422/Rs485 Full-Duplex
To specify which channel number will be assigned with RS communications interface please use the following format:
FMC-RS-A–B–C–D–E–F–G–H
A-channel 1, B-channel 2, C-channel 3, D-channel 4, E-channel 5, F-channel 6, G-channel 7, H-channel 8
An example order would be the following:
FMC-RS-X-X-Y-Y-Y-Z-X-Z
In the above example,
channel 1 would be RS232
channel 2 would be RS232
channel 3 would be RS422/RS485 Half-Duplex
channel 4 would be RS422/RS485 Half-Duplex
channel 5 would be RS422/RS485 Half-Duplex
channel 6 would be RS422/Rs485 Full-Duplex
channel 7 would be RS232
channel 8 would be RS422/Rs485 Full-Duplex
