AD45 (MEN MIKRO)

The AD45 combines RS232 functionality with fast Ethernet. The double-wide PC-MIP module is a high-performance quadruple UART with RS232 interface. Each 16C950 UART channel has 128-deep transmit and receive FIFOs, with readable levels and user-defined thresholds. All UARTs are capable of delivering up to 15Mbps asynchronous data throughput simultaneously, and are software-compatible with commonly used 16C450, 550, 650 and 750 UARTs. The UARTs support Big Endian byte-lane conversion, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 bit data framing and Infra-red (IrDA) receiver and transmitter as well as several other sophisticated functions for high-end serial communication requirements. The AD45 is supplied with RS232 line drivers using standard RJ45 connectors at the front. At the same time, the AD45 is an Ethernet module with a DS21143 intelligence. It supports a full-duplex 100Base-T interface on a standard RJ45 front panel connector. The Ethernet MAC address is stored in a serial EEPROM.
