PCI Express Serial/Parallel Card
DS-PCIE-100
This PCIe Express serial/parallel card supports serial data transfer rates up
to 115.2 kbps plus hot swapping, plug-n-play connection availability. It has
many advantages over traditional PCI cards, including a point-to-point link
dedicated to each device instead of the PCI’s shared bus; lower latency in
server architectures due to a more direct connection to the chip set; small
connectors with easier implementation for system designers and advanced
features via isochronous channels for guaranteed bandwidth delivery,
advanced power management and hot swap support.
