    Technical Description The COMM+8.422.PCIe provides eight RS-422/485 ports from a single PCIe slot. The COMM+8.422.PCIe utilizes the OXPCIe954 UART. This chip features programmable baud rates, data format, interrupt control and industry leading 128-byte transmit and receive FIFOs. The UARTs are register compatible with 16C450, 16C550, 16C654 and 16C750 UARTs. The FIFO depth can be changed to match the depth of these UARTs.
