IBM ARTIC 960Hx - Serial adapter - PCI - V.35, serial RS-232, X.21, serial RS-422, serial RS-530

The most powerful adapter in the ARTIC family is the ARTIC960Hx PCI Adapter. This full-length, intelligent adapter is designed for use in 32-bit PCI bus host systems. Its main engine is the Intel 80960HD microprocessor, which provides the performance to offload the most demanding communications and other real-time applications. The ARTIC960Hx PCI Adapter has a PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) connector, which supports a 32-bit PCI interface for PMC attachment. A PMC provides high-function, application-specific interfaces that expand and customize the capability of this base adapter. The ARTIC960Hx PCI Adapter has the bandwidth to process multiple communication connections and support simultaneous synchronous or asynchronous full-duplex lines, each at data rates up to 2.048Mbps. This adapter's open-architecture along with downloadable protocol stacks and the appropriate PMC, make it ideal for use in telephony applications, device interface and control, and wide area networking applications. It provides a common platform that is ideal for OEM customers looking to embed these capabilities into their products and solutions as well as for third-party developers who need a common platform to leverage their development. End-users can apply this technology when combined with an IBM solution or using OEM or third-party PMCs, device drivers, and applications. The ARTIC960Hx is designed using an IBM-developed, high-performance, asynchronous, isolated, PCI bridge. This bridge enables high-speed DMA block transfer for high throughput between the adapter and the host system.
