Introduction

The PCI2S4851050 2 Port PCI RS422/485 Serial Adapter Card with 161050 

UART adds two DB9 RS422/RS485 serial ports using a single PCI expansion 

slot. 
The serial card offers a high performance 16C1050 UART and is compliant 

with PCI 2.3 local bus specifications. An efficient single-chip design and a 

large 256-byte transit/receive FIFO buffer work together to provide high-speed 

serial communication while reducing the overall load on the CPU.
With the included standard and low profile brackets, this PCI serial expansion 

card suits a broad range of system form factors, and is a perfect addition for 

connecting RS422/485 serial devices to a host computer. For added versatility, 

the RS422/485 adapter is able to accommodate 3.3 or 5V PCI/PCI-X slots.
