Application Information

The TPCI868 is a standard 33 MHz 32 bit PCI module and provides 16 asynchronous RS232 serial interface channels. The TPCI868 requires the 3.3V PCI power supply and operates in a 3.3V or 5.0V PCI I/O voltage environment.

The module uses a 14.7456 MHz crystal oscillator which allows baud rates up to 921.6 kbaud. All 16 serial channels can generate interrupts on the PCI bus. The interrupt status information can be accessed via the 16 bit wide interrupt status register.

For the serial interface the signals TxD, RxD, RTS#, CTS# and GND are available on the HD68 front panel connector.

A 10-pin JTAG header is available for XMC module debugging purposes. All five JTAG signals are routed directly to the XMC slot.

Software Support (TPCI868-SW-xx) for different operating systems is available.
