October 2007, REV. 1.0 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.
