Chapter 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The B&B Electronics 232PCI1A, 232PCI1B, 232PCI2A and 232PCI2B serial interface cards are designed for IBM compatibles with a PCI Bus. The PCI design is Plug and Play compatible which allows the driver and Operating System to select the IRQ and addresses used by the card.

If you are writing your own applications, be sure the communications routine used supports Windows communication drivers and a wide range of COM ports.

Description

The 232PCI1x is a one port card and the 232PCI2x is a two port card. All versions offer high speed RS-232 communications with the 4X clock option enabled. Buffered, high speed UARTs (16550A or 16850) make it ideal for high speed (modem) and multitasking applications.
