Comtrol RocketPort Universal PCI Quad/Octa RoHS Datasheet

Part number 99340-7
RocketPort uPCI
®
Quad/Octa Card
Highlights
• RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliant
• Universal PCI design supporting 3.3
and 5.0 Volt PCI bus architectures—
ensures compatibility with all current
PCI bus architectures
The Comtrol RocketPort uPCI Quad/Octa without Cable serial port
expansion card is compatible with all current 3.3 and 5.0 Volt PCI bus
architectures. Depending on the serial cable (purchased separately), it
provides four or eight “native” serial ports utilizing a single PCI card slot.
The serial ports support RS-232 serial communications at speeds up to
460 Kbps. Every RocketPort serial card features the high-performance
RocketPort ASIC chip, consisting of a dedicated 36MHz processor that
minimizes host CPU utilization and larger transmit-and-receive buffers than
those of 16550 UART chips used in standard PC serial ports and low-end
serial cards. RocketPort ASIC technology enables these cards to
outperform other serial expansion cards by handling the transmission
of large amounts of data more reliably and efficiently. Additionally,
RocketPort products do not require the assignment of interrupts,
simplifying installation and eliminating conflicts with other server cards.
The product is fully compliant with the RoHS directive 2002/95/EC.
• I/O mapping capabilities—simplifies
installation, eliminates memory conflicts,
and enables plug-and-play compatibility
• Multiport serial expansion using a single
slot—maximizes host expansion
capabilities; adds 4 or 8 COM ports using
only one slot
board dedicated 36MHz RISC
• On-b
processor—minimizes "host" CPU
utilization
232 communications support—
• RS-2
enables transmit-and-receive speeds
up to 460 Kbps
• Transmit buffers 16 times larger, and
receive buffers 64 times larger than a
16550 UART—helps ensure smooth,
efficient data transfer
• Robust driver support—enables card
to work seamlessly with popular
operating systems
