Many of the A7 Serial Interfaces are now obsoleated products and can no longer be guaranteed by ATI to support new builds or RMA repairs. While supplies last, there is a limited inventory of parts and units available for existing integrations.
The A8 and the upcoming A9 Serial Interfaces are direct replacements for most currently available processors using the A7.
Please contact your local sales office for more information regarding alternative solutions, replacements, remaining stock, and other options.
A7 Serial Interfaces
A7 Modules are a family of USB devices that provide connectivity between a PC and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that use microprocessors that includes a debugger interface. This connection provided by the A7 enables Real-Time access to memory mapped resources.
Product Features:
- Support for ECU data acquisition, calibration and flashing through OCDS, Nexus, JTAG, AUD, and RTD debug interfaces of supported microprocessors
- Full support for ECU data acquisition, calibration and flashing
- Powered from PC via USB bus - no external power required
- Minimal current draw from target module
