Adapter adds serial comms options to PC/104
Sealevel Systems has expanded its PC/104 product line with the SIO.104+2, a dual-port RS232/422/485 interface adapter.
Serial adapter fits both PCI slots
The latest addition to the popular PCI product line from Sealevel Systems is the Ultra Comm+2.LPCI, a dual-port low-profile PCIbus serial I/O adapter.
Based on the Zilog Z16C32 IUSC, the board includes an onboard DMA controller to eliminate bus bandwidth constraints and increase throughput.
The ACB-Ultra.LPCI is also equipped with 256Kbyte of on-board RAM and a 32byte FIFO buffer to maximise performance without increasing processor overhead.
The ACB-Ultra.LPCI meets the requirements for the MD1 Low Profile specification as defined by PCISIG in the PCI 2.2 Low Profile Addendum.
Each board ships with both the low-profile bracket and the standard-profile PCI slot bracket, offering the customer versatility in installation.
The ACB-Ultra.LPCI also features Universal Bus (3.3 and 5.0V) as required by PCISIG specification 2.3.
Software support, critical for successful synchronous communication implementation, is provided through Sealevel's SeaMAC v4.1 driver.
SeaMAC supports a variety of protocols under Windows 2000/XP including SDLC, bisync/monosync and raw (bit-shifter).
Clocking is selectable using the internal baud rate generator or from an external source.
Standard Win32 API functions are supported.
The ACB-Ultra.LPCI, part number 5104, is priced at $499 in low volume quantities and is available from stock.
Like all Sealevel I/O products, the board includes a lifetime warranty.
