OXPCIe952, PCI Express to Dual Serial and Parallel Port

Outstanding Performance

The OXPCIe952 achieves ultra high performance by

combining the class leading 15Mbps asynchronous

data rates and deep FIFOs of PLX’s Oxford 950

UART, with advanced MSI interrupt handling and

bus master DMA for maximum throughput, minimum

CPU overhead and optimal system performance.

Configurable as two serial ports or one serial and one

parallel port the OXPCIe952 includes a host of

advanced features such as, automated in-band flow

control, readable FIFO levels and RS485 turnaround

delay, that provides further scope to fine tune

performance, while its flexible clock pre-scaler

provides for a wide range of baud rates.

With comprehensive power management and

industrial temperature range as standard, the

OXPCIe952 is perfect for power and temperature

sensitive ExpressCard and MiniCard designs and is

the choice for high performance systems.

To support these advanced features the OXPCIe952 is

backed by a dedicated PLX device driver that is

quality assured, exhaustively tested and WHQL

approved; saving development time and providing

peace of mind.
