Advantech PCI-1620
PCI-1620 is an 8-port RS-232 PCI communication card that is compatible with the PCI 2.1 bus specification. The card provides eight optional EFT protected RS-232 ports, and has many functions such as high transmission speed of 921.6 kbps, eight independent RS-232 ports and also comes with high-performance 16PCI954 UARTs with 128-byte FIFO and a 16C954 UART to reduce CPU load. This means that PCI-1610AU and PCI-1620BU can not only be used in traditional systems with 5 V signaling but also newer systems with 3.3 V signaling.FEATURES

● Universal PCI (Supports 3.3 V or 5 V PCI bus signal) (PCI-1620AU, PCI-1620U) PCI-1620A/B PCI-1620AU/BU RoHS 2002/95/EC COMPLIANT Introduction Thus, the PCI-1620 is especially suitable for making your system reliable in multitasking environments. PCI-1620AU and PCI-1620BU have an universal PCI connector that is compatible with both 3.3 V signaling and 5 V signaling. To further increase reliability, PCI-1620B and PCI-1620BU offer EFT protection technology, protecting your system from abrupt high voltages of up to 3,000 VDC. Advantech also provides a convenient utility program called ICOM Tools, to help you test the PCI card’s performance by analyzing the port status.
