1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The cPCI-3548 is a 3U CompactPCI 8-port RS-232/422/485 com-
munication peripheral module with external I/O connected from
the front panel using a 62-pin connector or using the module's rear
IO. It is compliant with the PICMG 2.0 R3.0 CompactPCI specifi-
cation.

1.4 UART Controller
MaxLinear XR17D158IV-F
The MaxLinear XR17D158IV-F is an octal PCI to Universal Asyn-
chronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) controller. The UART
has its own 16C550 compatible set of configuration registers,
transmit and receive FIFOs of 64 bytes, fully programmable trans-
mit and receive FIFO level trigger levels, transmit and receive
FIFO level counters, automatic RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR hardware
flow control with programmable hysteresis levels, and automatic
software flow control.
