Cranston, RI, United States., February 11, 2013 - (PressReleasePoint) - Electro Standards Laboratories announces the CellMite ProD Model 4350 CPLD Interface Board Assembly. The Model 4350 is a high-performance CPLD interface board designed for 3-phase motor control. The unit is designed to connect directly to CellMite ProD Data Acquisition and Control Boards. Customized systems are available.
 
The main component on the board is an Altera EPM3512QC208-10 CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device). The CPLD is in a 208-pin PQFP package with a standard 10-pin JTAG interface port. The CPLD has 10,000 usable gates, 512 macrocells, 32 logic array blocks and 172 user I/O pins. The CPLD is factory programmed with standard motor control firmware. This firmware can be modified by the end-user for a specific application or Electro Standards Laboratories can develop a custom application based on the end-user’s application.
 
The CPLD interface board has 15 single-ended PWM input signals, 16 differential PWM output signals, 4 differential Brake output signals and a differential Inverter Enable output signal. It also has an 8-bit parallel LCD interface, 32-bit General Purpose I/O, 8-position DIP switch, 2 user-pushbutton switches, a reset pushbutton switch and a 10MHz oscillator. For debug and test purposes, the board has a 16-bit test port and 8 user LED indicators. The Model 4350 is designed for ruggedized applications and operation from 0 degrees C to + 70 degrees C. Optionally available for industrial applications, operation from -40 degrees C to + 85 degrees C.
 
CellMite ProD high-performance embedded data acquisition boards are offered in standard and custom designs. The company has its own manufacturing capabilities and can design, build and deliver custom products for each project in prototype or production quantities. Two of the company's CellMete ProD products are the Model 4333 ruggedized high-performance embedded data acquisition and sensor monitoring node and the Model 4328 ruggedized high-performance embedded data acquisition and strain gauge interface board.
