    2. ABOUT THE CF232 The CF232 card is an RS232 serial card with Elan’s own 16550 compatible UART ASIC device, called the VPU16550. The serial data and control lines are buffered using ESD protected RS232 drivers. Industry standard baud rates up to 115.2K baud are supported, together with 16-byte deep TX and RX FIFOs.

    3. INSTALLING THE CF232 3.1 DOS & Windows 3.1x Operation in DOS or Windows 3.1 requires 3 party Card and Socket Services drivers to be properly installed and configured. Follow your software vendor’s instructions on how to do this. The CF232 requires no extra drivers to operate in DOS. Insertion of the card should create a familiar “happy beep”...

    4. CF232 REGISTER INTERFACE Full details of the CF232’s register interface can be found in the VPU16550 data sheet, available at Elan’s website http://www.pccard.co.uk For reference, the CF232 and the CF232-5 both behave as a 5V card to the host system because Vs1 and Vs2 pins are no connects. This is to make the host default to 5V when possible, giving the highest RS232 output signals and therefore best noise margins.

  • Page 9: Baud Rate Settings

    As a simple rule of thumb, using the standard serial drivers on a fast PC will allow throughput rates of 400-600KBits/sec although these rates can’t be guaranteed and will be application specific 5.7 BAUD RATE SETTINGS The table below illustrates the common baud rate values available for each of the baud rate multiplier switch positions: HOST SETTING SWITCH = x1...
