Serial PCMCIA Cards
RS-232 and RS-422/485
Quatech serial PCMCIA cards (PC
Cards) provide a simple yet robust so-
lution for adding multiple serial ports to
laptops,notebooks,tablets,handhelds
and embedded systems.
Quatech serial PCMCIA cards add one, two or
four RS-232 or RS-422/485 ports to portable
computers.
Quatech offers more choices in serial
I/O PC cards than any other
manufacturer, including several
exclusive models. In addition, our
PCMCIA cards use a single driver set
for all models, making them an
extremely practical choice for
applicationswithmultipleconfigurations
that span several operating systems
including Windows, Linux and OS/2.
Quatech PC Cards are small, light and
havelowpower requirementstoreduce
battery drain. They are available with
onetofourindependentRS-232 or RS-
422/485serialportsthatshare a single
interrupt. The standard version comes
withaconvenientdetachablecable.For
extreme computing environments,
permanently attached ruggedized
cablesareavailable.
Multiple serial ports for portable
devices, mobile applications, and
embedded systems
Quatech serial PCMCIA cards are a
flexible,low-costwaytointerfaceserial
peripheralsina widevarietyofportable,
PC-based mobile applications. They
are also ideally suited for embedded
systems, where achieving maximum
functionality in a minimum of space is
essential. Forexample:
POS Systems
Field data collection
Medical testing
Kiosks
GPS tracking
Mobile office
Industrial monitoring & control
Industry leading speeds mean
exceptional performance
Quatech serial PCMCIA cards provide
industry leading speeds of up to 921.6
kbps by employing a clock multiplying
feature in conjunction with 16750
UARTs.
To further increase performance, we
havecreatedanautotoggle feature for
theRS-422/485transmitter thatpermits
thehardwareitselfto regulate data flow
by only driving lines while actively
transmitting--providing increased
speed and convenience over the older
software controlled method.
