Industrial I/O Evaluation Boards and Peripheral Modules (Pmod™) help you quickly and easily develop prototypes with our Industrial I/O ICs. Evaluation boards exercise the main features of each device and are usually suitable for transient immunity testing. Pmods are small I/O interface boards that communicate with system boards using 6- or 12-pin connectors. They typically allow evaluation of a device’s features but are not suitable for transient immunity testing.

For easy, low-cost testing our Pmod boards can be connected to the USB port of a laptop using separate adapter boards (USB2PMB1, USB2PMB2, and USB2GPIO). Communication is through the free Munich GUI software. Alternatively, any microcontroller or FPGA with a 12-pin Pmod-compatible connector can be used. Another option is to wire-wrap a temporary connection from the system to the pins on the Pmod connector. For the latter two options, control software must be developed by the user.
