FEATURES/SPECIFICATIONS
* Dual serial control and data interfaces (COM1, COM2)
* Xilinx programming logic
* LED status indicator
* Small PC/104 form factor
* National Semiconductor PC16552DV DUART
* 0°C to +70°C operating range
* Low power consumption
* Rugged performance and environmental specs
* Onboard power supply requires only 5 Vdc
* CDMA jack
* COM1 configurable as pass-through to CDMA

APPLICATIONS
The CDMA Carrier Board is ideally suited for embedded microcomputers in devices commonly found in the avionics/aerospace, defense, factory automation, light industrial, medical, telecom and transportation fields, such as distributed communications systems, point-of-sale devices, mobile terminals, industrial meters, vehicle or fleet management applications, and remote data logging nodes, etc.

Systems development projects not using the PC/104 bus can configure the CDMA Board to communicate directly with the CDMA modem, by changing jumper settings and bypassing the PC/104 bus with a standard serial port.
