Overall features of the range for PCI Bus

Natural evolution of the MCX range: The MCXPCI boards intended for high performance applications build upon the concept "PC in PC".

Besides the possibility of their being used from the communication API of the various operating systems for a utilisation of the multiProtocolserial links (HDLC/SDLC raw mode, HDLC ABM/LAPB, HDLC NRM/SDLC, X25, MONOSYNC, BISYNC, BSC, transparent mode, AHDLC asynchronous HDLC ISO/IEC 13239, asynchronous synchronised, asynchronous ...), they equally offer the possibility to develop user specific communication applications & protocols on demand.

As a set of industrial communication solutions at the leading edge of Technology, the MCXPCI range now comprises four boards ranging from 2 to 64 synchronous and asynchronous serial ports.

	Building upon the architecture of the MCX series
	Pentium P75-100MHz processor
	8 or 16 Mo of RAM
	Support for compact disc FLASH of 4 Mo to 192 Mo
	Compact form for integration within a mobile
	Communication interface on mezzanine board
	Timer for event dating

Addressing from PC:

Bus PCI 2.1 (or +), 32 bits 33 MHz.
+3.3VDC or +5VDC PCI bus support.
board memory accessible from host PC through a 32 Ko window.
512 octet PCI FIFO.
Enter/Exit status and configuration registers.
No switch for addressing: memory address, switch off assigned by BIOS.
