SBS Technologies expands one of the broadest lines of communication I/O modules in the embedded industry by introducing the high-performance, cost-effective rear I/O access board set. The modularity and scalability of the Maxim 524-R allows telecom developers to take advantage of the wide range of rear I/O access modules to ease development and integration time. “The Maxim 524-R line adds flexibility and high-performance options for application developers who need several I/O interfaces,” said Charlie Tompkins Vice President and General Manager of Communications I/O for SBS. “Our new Maxim 524-R line helps shorten development time by allowing developers to work with multiple interfaces using the same driver development kit.” The Maxim 524-R consists of a single slot High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol-based PMC adapter and three rear transition modules (RTMs): a Quad Port Serial, the Dual Port DE (DS-3/E-3), and the Dual Port HSSI that support synchronous serial, DS3/E3, and HSSI communication.
