Using PCI Express provides a scalable, high-speed, serial I/O bus that maintains backwards compatibility with PCI applications and drivers. Its architecture defines a high-performance, point-to-point, scalable, serial bus at speeds of 250 Mb/sec. to 4 Gb/sec.The PCIe cards are fully Plug-and-Play compatible and have no IRQ and I/O address conflict problems. The new PCIe cards also feature Serial Power over Pin-9. This feature allows peripherals like scanners and card readers to be used without the need of an external power supply.Features include:
Full x1 PCI Express Throughput, 250Mbytes/sec
Fully Compliant with PCI Express Base Specifications, Revision 1.0a
PCI Express Advanced Error Reporting Capability Including ECRC Support
UARTs Fully Compatible with 16C550-type Devices
Baud Rate up to 921.6Kbps
128-byte deep FIFO per transmitter and receiver
Detection of Bad Data in the Receiver FIFO
9-bit Data Framing, as well as 5,6,7, and 8 bits
Provides 5V or 12V Power over Serial Connectors
