Features of the StackableUSB™ Interface: A New Specification for I/O Expansion in Embedded PCs

From Micro/sys, Inc.
 

 
While the ISA bus and PC/104 continue to be popular, board-level embedded system designers are faced with the challenge of finding a replacement that can support current form factors and address demand for faster board-to-board communication. Technology from the desktop world has often evolved into embedded board-level products, for example, the evolution of Stackable USB developed by Micro/sys.

Products & Services
Industrial computers are similar to personal computers (PC), but they are intended for use on a factory floor or in other harsh environments. Search by Specification | Learn more about Industrial Computers
