• 8 serial ports • 8 digital I/O lines • Jumper selectable RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 on all ports • Up to 460.8kbps data rate •16C654 Quad UARTs with 64-byte FIFOs • Interrupt sharing - any no. of ports or boards Now with higher density than ever, our new EmeraldMM-8 gives you 8 serial ports on a single PC/104 module. Each version of the board provides 8 serial ports operating at speeds up to 460.8kbps. Several versions are available: EMM-8M-XT: 8 ports RS-232/422/485 user selectable EMM-8232-XT: 8 ports fixed RS-232 (low-cost version) In RS-232 mode, the full complement of standard PC serial port signals (8 signals + ground) are provided for each port. In RS-422 mode, Signals RX+, RX-, TX+, and TX- are provided, along with ground. In RS-485 mode, signals TX+/RX+ and TX-/RX- are provided, along with ground. Ports are grouped 4 per 40-pin I/O header. Ports 1-4 are on the right, and ports 5-8 are on the left.

Fully Programmable Serial Ports All serial port address and interrupt level settings may be done in software. On power up, the serial ports are disabled. After programming the address and interrupt settings, the ports are enabled by setting a bit in an auxiliary control register. For applications that require the ports to be operating without user software intervention, the board provides 4 different hardware configurations. Full Interrupt Sharing Interrupt levels are individually programmable for each port. The available interrupt levels are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 15. In...
