188SBC

The 188SBC is rich in features: 12-bit A/D and D/A, lots of digital I/O, battery-backed, fully static RAM, and Flash EPROM. Two serial ports that can be configured for RS-232 or RS-485 and an EPP or Centronics compatible parallel port. Character and graphic LCD's with controllers will plug right in. And if that isn't enough peripheral support, there is an optional Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and a breadboard area so you can create any interface you need, from 3000 to 9000 gates!

The 188SBC is based on the Intel 80C188XL or EA microprocessor, a CMOS derivative of the venerable 8088. Enhanced features of the processor include built-in programmable chip select outputs, interrupt and DMA controllers and special power reduction circuitry. The 188SBC adds an 82C206 interface chip that provides a PC compatible Real Time Clock, and Interrupt and DMA Controllers. To allow further expansion, a PC/104 compatible 8-bit ISA bus is included on the board. Memory includes up to 512K bytes of static RAM, which can be battery backed through a connector. Two additional sockets allow up to 512K bytes of program ROM, either UV or Flash. The power system includes a programmer for Flash devices.
