Technical Description
The SIO-104+2 series provides the ultimate serial connection for your PC/104 application. SIO-104+2 utilizes the
16850 UART. These chip features programmable baud rates, data format, interrupt control and 128 Byte input and
output FIFOs.
The SIO-104+2 when configured with the RS-422/485 interface will allow long length, high-speed communications
suitable for data collection and shop floor control.
The SIO-104+2 when configured with the RS-232C interface, is fully compatible with the DOS operating system,
all popular modem software, network operating systems software, and mouse drivers.
Features
• Selectable interrupts (IRQs) 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15
• Multiple adapters can share the same IRQ
• Uses PC/104 compatible stack through connector for universal mounting
• 5 volt only DC operation

Technical Note: Please terminate any control signals that are not going to be used. The most common way to do this
is connect RTS to CTS and RI. Also, connect DCD to DTR and DSR. Terminating these pins, if not used, will help
insure you get the best performance from your adapter.
