asingly, modern PCs are coming with 3.3V PCI slots. The change from 5V to 3.3V signalling on the PCI bus is a result of the technical advances made by leading PC manufacturers such as Dell, HP and Compaq to increase system speed while reducing onboard PC power consumption. What this means is that many new PC systems no longer use 5V signalling on the PCI bus, and 5V-only PCI cards cannot be used in these PCs. As part of our continued commitment to designing and manufacturing leading edge serial RS232 technology, we now offer the Universal PCI range that can work in both 5V and 3.3V signalling environments. This allows new and existing customers to have an easy migration path to this new technology. 16750+ UARTs provide a 64 byte input and 64 byte output FIFO hardware buffer for each serial port allowing high data rates without data loss or overrun errors in todays multi-tasking operating systems.This half size card provides 4 industry standard RS232 serial COM ports in a single PCI slot. A fully moulded quad cable terminated in either four 9 pin or four 25 pin male 'D' plugs ensures neat & easy connections. In a PC with 4 free PCI slots that gives 16 ports! As PCI is fully Plug & Play compatible, the operating system or BIOS automatically configures the card ensuring conflict free installation. 4 RS232 Serial Ports PCI Bus - Fully Plug & Play auto Sample Programs, Test & Terminal software - all with source code Fully moulded cable either Standard 9 or 25 way male D' connectors Drivers for all popular operating systems Up to 64byte transmit and receive FIFO Greater control of FIFO trigger levels, and readable FIFO levels for improved transfer efficiency Supports both 3.3V / 5V standards PCI 2.3 Compliant - £246.48 Inc Vat Stock On Hand: 2 - Email to a friend | Add this product to your bookmarks | Submit an email enquiry - (Description excerpted from: SMC Direct)
