9 Introduction
Connect Tech's Xtreme/104-Plus, 104-PCI and 104/Express family combines the best of the
Universal PCI bus with the rugged and compact form factor of PC/104.
The various models are PCI 2.0, PC/104-Plus 2.0 or PCIe/104 compliant. The modular
Xtreme/104-Plus and Xtreme/104-Plus Opto cards include a PC/104 pass-through connector
option for compatibility with legacy PC/104 cards.
The Xtreme/104 family offer independent port configuration for baud rate, and data bit options
of 5, 6, 7 and 8, as well as, 1, 1.5 and 2 stop bits. Select between odd and even parity. The
Xtreme/104 Express offers a fractional baud rate generator which allows almost any baud rate to
be selected as well as a 9 bit addressing mode.
Connect Tech’s Xtreme/104-Plus and Express cards are perfect for embedded applications such
as, industrial PCs, kiosks, military systems, aerospace, medical systems, POS devices and any
system requiring fast data transfer speeds and a rugged, compact form factor. These self-stacking
cards are low on power consumption and function in industrial temperature conditions.
