Outstanding Performance
The
OXuPCI954
integrates
four
ultra
high
performance Oxford 950 UARTs that combine
class leading 15Mbps asynchronous data rates
and the industry’s deepest FIFOs, for maximum
throughput, minimum CPU overhead and optimal
system performance. Advanced features of the
device, such as automated in-band flow control,
readable FIFO levels and RS485 turnaround delay,
provide further scope to fine tune performance,
while the flexible clock pre-scaler provides a wide
range of baud rates.
To
support
these
advanced
features
the
OXuPCI954 is backed by a dedicated Oxford
device driver that is quality assured, exhaustively
tested and WHQL approved; saving development
time and providing peace of mind.
Development environment
The OXuPCI954 evaluation kit supports rapid
evaluation and design for accelerated time to
market.
Central to this is the short form PCI evaluation
board; plugged into any PCI card slot it provides
access to all aspects of the device. But, it doesn’t
stop there; the kit has everything needed for PC
installation
and
evaluation
including
cables,
expansion brackets and Oxford’s device drivers.
The
inclusion
compatible
of
OXide,
development
Oxford’s
tool,
Windows
makes
device
configuration and management fast and easy.
