Product short description:
  • 8 asynchronous EIA/TIA-232E serial ports
  • 64-byte FIFO buffers
  • Interrupt support
  • Programmable baud rate (up to 120Kbps)

These modules provide eight asynchronous serial communication ports from a single PMC Socket.

 

PMC520: Serial Communication, 232 Octal PMC Module Description

These modules provide eight asynchronous serial communication ports from a single PMC Socket. Software-configuration helps you quickly set baud rates, character-sizes, stop bits, and parity. Signal support for RTS/CTS handshaking is also included.

For more efficient data processing, each serial port is equipped with 64-character FIFO buffers on the transmit and receive lines.

The data ports generate individually controlled transmit, receive, line status, and data set interrupts. A global interrupt source register provides interrupt status indication for all eight channels to speed up interrupt parsing.

PMC520: Serial Communication, 232 Octal PMC Module Features & Benefits

  • Eight EIA/TIA-232E ports
  • 64-byte transmit FIFO buffers
  • 64-byte receive FIFO buffers
  • Programmable baud rate (up to 120Kbps)
  • Individual handshake lines (RTS, CTS) on each channel
  • Line-break and false start-bit detection
  • Industry-standard software-compatible 16C550 configuration registers
  • 0 to 70°C (PMC520-64) or -40 to 85°C (PMC520-64E)

PMC and XMC Modular I/O – Established Standards in High Performance Systems The IEEE standard for PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMCs) initiated the first successful approach to truly modular I/O devices. Subsequent development has presented system integrators with the XMC modules, introducing support for switched interconnect protocols, adding contacts serial lanes for high-speed data transfer, and providing better...
