This unit
The General Standards PMC66-SIO4BXR-256K is a four-channel serial I/O PMC card delivering synchronous and asynchronous serial communication for demanding embedded systems. Built on a 66 MHz PCI interface engine with independent Dual Universal Serial Controllers per channel, the card supports seven industry-standard protocols - asynchronous, monosync, bisync, SDLC, HDLC, nine-bit, and IEEE 802.3 - across synchronous rates to 10 Mbps and asynchronous rates to 1 Mbps. Each channel includes dedicated 32 kB transmit and receive FIFOs, totaling 256 kB across the card. Multi-protocol transceivers support RS422/RS485 at 10 Mbps, RS423/RS232 at 230 kbps, and V.35 and RS530 interfaces. The card mounts on PMC carrier boards compatible with PCI, PCIe, PXI, and cPCI form factors, enabling flexible deployment across multiple platforms.
