Glossary: Product Features Explained

Universal PCI

Universal products allow compatibility with both 3.3 Volt and 5 Volt PCI systems. This ensures that Brainboxes universal card range is backward compatible with older systems and works with all new PCI systems.

Low Profile

Low-Profile PCI is a new PCI card standard for space-constrained system designs. The new form factors maintain the same electricals, PC signals and software drivers as standard PCI v3.0 expansion cards. They are also mechanically similar; however, Low-Profile PCI is an additional form factor that defines a shorter raw card and new mounting bracket for card retention.

Microsoft Logo Approval

The majority of Brainboxes products, including this one, have been approved by Microsoft as a fully tested and compatible product with popular Microsoft Operating Systems. For the full list of Brainboxes approved products see the Microsoft website: Click Here

PCI Compliant

All Brainboxes Universal PCI cards are fully PCI version 3.0 compliant, in accordance with the PCI-Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG).

Large FIFO

FIFO means First In First Out, a FIFO is memory space on the Brainboxes card. A larger FIFO allows more memory space for buffering data, so calls to the computer processor are less frequent. This significantly increases data throughput and improves CPU availability for other applications.

4 Layer PCB

Printed Circuit Board with 4 layers of circuitry complies with the PCI SIG best practice guideline and ensures a more reliable card. 1 layer is for power and 1 for ground which leads to greater EMC shielding for the signals. This ultimately gives greater signal integrity.

Surface Mount Components

Most components on a Brainboxes card are placed by a surface mount machine. The surface mount machine allows for highly accurate and fast production of Brainboxes cards. Orders can be met quickly, reliably and with outstanding quality.

Capacitors

As required by the PCI-SIG all Brainboxes cards have capacitors connected to all the power pins on the PCI connector, near to the connector. This ensures that the electrical power rails on the Brainboxes card stay at the right voltage, regardless of the power demands placed on them. This helps data signals keep their integrity.
