AGPIX32, AGP Bus Isolation Extender Specification

AGPIX32 is a 32 bit AGP Bus Isolation Extender that allows user to test the AGP add-on boards quickly without having to power the system down each time.

It is especially designed to save valuable labor and time in production testing environment. It is also a great tool for engineers during product development while many changes and testing are required. It provides total power and signal isolation between the motherboard and the board under test. It can be controlled manually by an on-board toggle switch or by external TTL signals. Besides saving time for testing, it also protects the motherboard from damages. The AGPIX32 is designed with many years of field experience and real user suggested features. It is built with quality and state of the art components. The AGPIX32 is made in USA.

Product Features:

Total power and signal isolation.
No disturbance to the system bus during bus isolation and reconnection.
Less than 500ps signal delay, through the isolation buffer and trace.
Minimum voltage drop.
Single toggle switch operation or external TTL software control.
Allows voltage margin and current measurement.
Pluggable fuses for power line protection.
Power LEDs for clear indication of power isolation.
Short circuit sensing logic with auto power shut off.
Photo sensors for detection of board insertion and removal for auto power shut off (optional).
Multiple audible alarm tone for normal operation and short circuit condition.
Flashing status LED to indicate bus connection and disconnection.
Supports low cost wearout extender (AGPSX4).
Quality multilayer construction.
