VL-SPX-3 Expansion Module | VersaLogic

VL-SPX-3

Notice: The VL-SPX-3 has reached the end of its off-the-shelf availability. Contact VersaLogic Sales for availability and extended lifecycle options.

Utilizing a single 14-pin cable, SPX expansion modules can be freely mounted, up to two feet from an SPX-enabled baseboard. This is particularly useful in highly compact areas or high-noise environments common in industrial, automotive, and medical applications. The small (1.2” x 3.8”) SPX modules can also be attached to the baseboard using standoffs.

  • Small Footprint

    1.2” x 3.8” size is ideal for space-constrained applications.

  • I/O Expansion

    CAN V2.0B interface operates at speeds up to 1 Mbit/s.

  • Ease of Use

    Simple cable-based interface using SPI signaling.

Description

A member of VersaLogic’s family of SPX expansion modules, the VL-SPX-3 provides a new level of economy and convenience to expand the capabilities of embedded computing systems. Unlike typical larger expansion formats, the SPX format does not require a stacking connector or a position in the expansion stack. Utilizing a single 14-pin cable, SPX expansion modules can be freely mounted, up to two feet from an SPX-enabled baseboard. This is particularly useful in highly compact areas or high-noise environments common in industrial, automotive, and medical applications. The small (1.2” x 3.8”) SPX modules can also be attached to the baseboard using standoffs. Up to four SPX modules can be daisy-chained together to meet specifically targeted I/O requirements, resulting in substantial cost and space savings for developers.

Like all VersaLogic products, the VL-SPX-3 is designed to support rugged OEM applications where high reliability and long-term availability are required. From application design-in to 5+ guaranteed years of production life, the VL-SPX-3 provides a durable expansion solution with an excellent cost of ownership. The VL-SPX-3 is manufactured and tested to the highest quality standards and is fully RoHS compliant. Customization is available, even in low OEM quantities.
