Description

The TEWS TPMC871-50 is a single-width, 32-bit PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) module manufactured by TEWS [1, 2]. It provides an interface for connecting 16-bit PC Cards or 32-bit CardBus cards to a system that uses the PMC standard [1, 2].

Here’s a breakdown of its key functionalities and what we can glean based on available information:

Function:

  • Enables a PMC compatible system to utilize functionalities of PC Cards (also known as PCMCIA cards) or CardBus cards [1, 2]. These cards can provide various functionalities depending on the specific card type, such as:
    • Additional network connectivity (Ethernet, Wi-Fi)
    • Increased storage capacity (flash memory cards)
    • Specialized data acquisition or control interfaces

Features (uncertain without user manual):

  • PC Card/CardBus Interface: Supports both 16-bit PC Cards and 32-bit CardBus cards, offering flexibility for using various card types [1, 2].
  • Plug-and-Play Compatibility (uncertain): Might support Plug-and-Play functionality for automatic card detection and driver configuration by the system [1, 2].
  • Power Management (uncertain): Likely provides power regulation for the inserted PC Card or CardBus card [1, 2].

Applications (historical):

  • The TEWS TPMC871-50 likely found use in industrial automation systems or embedded computing platforms where adding functionalities through PC Cards or CardBus cards was advantageous. However, PC Cards and CardBus are older standards and may not be common in newer systems.
