OXPCIe958, PCI Express to Octal Serial Port
Outstanding Performance
The OXPCIe958 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 octal ports the OXPCIe958 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 its high performance port expansion interface,
providing seamless expansion to 12 or 16 ports
without a PCIe switch, its comprehensive power
management and industrial temperature range the
OXPCIe958 is
the
perfect choice for high
performance systems.
To support these advanced features the OXPCIe958 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.
Design and evaluation of the OXPCIe958 couldn’t be
easier with this comprehensive reference design kit
(RDK). The RDK includes everything you need for
PC installation and evaluation including Hardware,
Oxide Development Tools and software device
drivers. Simply plug the half length PCI Express
evaluation board into any PCI Express slot, install the
software and its ready to go.
Development Support
Changing the dynamics of device customization,
Oxide development tools enable customization of the
OXPCIe958 in minutes. No more complex, time
consuming, error prone manual editing of
programming files and driver source code; Oxide’s
intuitive graphical user interface provides simple
‘point and click’ feature selection and text box entry
for fast, error free customization with minimal
software expertise as well as instant access to up to
date documentation, software and reference designs.
