The Pentek 4283 Floating Point DSP MIX Module is a high-performance signal processing module built on Intel’s Modular Interface eXtension (MIX) technology. It integrates directly with Pentek MIX baseboards and expansion modules to create compact, multi-channel signal processing subsystems within 32-bit VMEbus environments. The module combines a digital signal processor with flexible analog and digital interfaces, supporting up to 4 GB address capability and enabling configurations with multiple independent channels through MIX-based module stacking.

– Compatibility & Integration
The 4283 operates within 32-bit VMEbus systems and pairs with Pentek MIX baseboards such as the 4284 Single TMS320C40 Processor MIX Baseboard. Integration with expansion modules—including the 4343 A/D – D/A Converter MIX Module—enables construction of complex signal processing subsystems with multiple independent input and output channels. The MIX bus architecture supports reliable, high-speed inter-module communications and data transfers.
