The SMP7000-xx is a general purpose prototyping module that leverages the SMIP’s modularity and interface architecture to the VXIbus to provide over 24 square inches of real estate that is available for user-defined designs. System engineers can incorporate their own designs within a standard SMIP carrier and combine it with products,
such as 1.8 GHz RF switching or 16 A relays that are already available on the platform. Custom DAC modules, or digital I/O cards with custom logic levels can easily be accommodated within the available breadboard space.

Flexible Interface and Programming Options
The SMP7000-xx provides access to 96 digital I/O lines and five fused power rails for interfacing to user-defined logic. Custom designs can be laid out on the thru-hole pattern available on the breadboard space. A connector header is provided to facilitate migration of the custom design to a printed circuit board layout. This enables the use
of multiple front panel I/O possibilities, ranging from 15p Dsub to 160p high-density DIN connectors. All 96 digital lines are mapped to VXI extended memory space for direct register access. API support is also provided through the standard SMIP VXIplug&play driver, reducing the time required for software development.
