Introduction

1.1 cPCI-3534 Overview

1.1.1 What is the cPCI-3534?

The cPCI-3534 is an enhanced four ports serial communication modu le
used for Compact-PCI platform. It includes a PGA (Programmable Gate
Array) to support the serial communication controller and a 37-pin
connector to connect external I/O port from the front panel or using the rear
IO.

The expansion cable has four standard DB25 or DB9 connectors and one
DB37 connector to connect with cPCI-3534 interface card.

The cPCI-R3534 transition board can support rear I/O connection by using
one DB37 connector.

1.1.2 cPCI-3534 Features

• 32-bit CompactPCI 3U form factor

• PCI Rev.2.1 Plug and Play

• IRQ and I/O address automatically assigned by PCI Plug and Play

• Four communication ports intelligent buffer

• One isolated industry communication port

• High Speed Communication (max. 115200 bps)

• Suitable for modems, data display, data collection,

telecommunication

• Supports up to two cards/8 ports per system

• Supports DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT

operation system
