The MPEX2S1P552 2S1P Mini PCI Express Serial/Parallel Combo Card turns a mini-PCIe slot into two RS232 (DB9) serial ports, and one IEEE 1284 parallel port - a cost-saving solution for adding serial and parallel support to embedded systems that lack built-in serial/parallel functionality.
The 16650 UART adapter card features a native PCI Express single chip design, which enables you to take advantage of full PCI Express capability, by providing improved speed and reliability while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional "bridge chip" serial cards .
- Two RS232 serial ports, one IEEE 1284 parallel port
- Native single-chip, single lane PCI Express
- 256-byte deep FIFO
- Compliant with PCI Express base specifications revision 1.1
- Automated in-band software flow control using programmable Xon/Xoff in both directions
- Automated out-of-band hardware flow control using Tx/Rx/RTS/CTS/DSR/DTR/DCD/RI/GND
- Includes two 30cm IDC ribbon cables
- 16650 UART
- Advantage
- Native single chip design means up to 48% less load on your CPU which is critical for small embedded PCs that use low power, low MHz CPUs
- The smallest form factor available, for internally adding two serial and one parallel port to any embedded system
Applications
Add two serial and one parallel port to industrial embedded computers and systems
Add serial RS232 and IEEE 1284 parallel control to an embedded or slim media center/media server/all-in-one PC
Additional ports to slimline POS systems
Connect to any motherboard with a mini PCIe slot
