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.
Based on the Zilog Z16C32 IUSC, the ACB-104.Ultra includes an onboard DMA controller to eliminate bus bandwidth constraints and increase throughput.
The ACB-104.Ultra is also equipped with 256Kbyte of onboard RAM and a 32byte FIFO buffer to maximise performance without increasing processor overhead.
For maximum compatibility with a variety of host processors, the ACB-104.Ultra can operate with either 3.3 or 5V signal levels.
Software support, critical for successful synchronous communication implementation, is provided through Sealevel's SeaMAC driver.
SeaMAC supports a variety of protocols under Windows 2000/XP including HDLC/SDLC, bisync, monosync, and raw (bit-shifter) modes.
Clocking is selectable using the internal baud rate generator or from an external source.
The ACB-104.Ultra, part number 3514, 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.
