MCS9865 is ideally suited for Desktop PC and Notebook applications, such as PCI / Mini-PCI add-in Cards for high-speed Serial / Parallel Port expansion.
ASIX® MCS9865
PCI to Dual Serial and Single Parallel Controller
Product Description
MCS9865 is a PCI based Peripheral Controller. It supports dual-channel high performance Serial Ports, dual enhanced IEEE 1284 compliant parallel ports and an ISA style interface. MCS9865 is ideally suited for Desktop PC and Notebook applications, such as PCI / Mini-PCI add-in Cards for high-speed Serial / Parallel Port expansion. On-Chip Serial Ports of MCS9865 support extended 16C550 UART mode and support serial speeds up to 16Mbps. MCS9865 has 256 byte deep Transmit and Receive FIFO for each UART. Deep FIFOs enable high serial speeds / throughputs and reduce CPU Utilization. Each Serial Port is compatible with industry standard 16C550 devices including Standard COM Port of Industrial PC. The Parallel Port interface is an IEEE 1284 compliant SPP / PS2 / EPP / ECP Parallel Port that fully supports Centronics interface.
