Startup Manual
Introduction
EMAC, Inc. introduced its new PC/104-compatible
communication module with eight individually
configurable RS-232 ports, PCM-3643. Targeting
embedded system customers with a need for high-
speed and shared IRQ ports, high -performance PCM-
3643 is especially suitable for multitasking environ-
ments. The PCM-3643 provides versatile function
settings to meet users needs. These function settings
include Standard/Enhance setting, Independent/Shared
IRQ setting and Speed setting. Standard/Enhance
setting can help users to flexibly use base address.
Especially in Enhance setting, different base
addresses can be set according to the application. In
Shared IRQ setting, all eight interrupt ports can be
specified to one. This solves IRQ insufficiency
problems within the embedded system. In Speed
setting, the PCM-3643 allows transmission rate up to
921.6 kbps. It improves the performance of the system.
