Product Description
   The PI7C9X7952 is a PCI Express® Dual UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitters) I/O Bridge. It is specifically designed to meet the latest system requirements of high performance, lead (Pb) -free and reduced package sizes. The bridge can be used in a wide range of applications such as Remote Access Servers, Automation, Process Control, Instrumentation, POS, ATM and Multi-port RS232/RS422/RS485 Cards. 

FEATUREs
◾ Support 2 high performance 16C950 UART in single
   chip

   drivers
◾ 128-byte transmit and receive FIFO
◾ Flexible clock pre-scaler from 4 to 46
◾ Automated in-band flow control using programmable
   Xon/ Xoff in both directions
◾ Automated out-of-band flow control using CTS#/ RTS#
   and/or DSR#/ DTR#
◾ Arbitrary trigger levels for receiver and transmitter
◾ FIFO interrupts and automatic in-band and out-band flow
   control
◾ Data framing sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
◾ Configurable using non-volatile configuration memory
   (EEPROM)
◾ Global Interrupt Status and readable FIFO levels to
   facilitate implementation of efficient device drivers.
