Introduction
The PEX1S1PMINI 1S1P Mini PCI Express Serial Parallel Card w/ 16950 UART turns a mini PCIe slot
into 1 RS232 (DB9) Serial port and 1 Parallel port.
A native PCI Express single chip design allows you to take advantage of full PCI Express
capability, providing improved speed and reliability while reducing the CPU load by as much as
48% over conventional bridge chip cards. Compatible with a broad range of operating systems
including Windows®, Linux, and Mac OS, the mini-PCI Express Serial/Parallel Card can be installed
into almost any system.
The mini PCIe Parallel/Serial combo card offers a cost-saving solution for adding legacy serial and
parallel support for embedded systems that aren’t normally compatible.
