OXPCIe840, PCI Express to Parallel Port

Outstanding Performance

The OXPCIe840 offers the flexibility of SPP, EPP,

and ECP modes of parallel port operation, with

advanced MSI interrupt handling for optimum system

performance.

Its 5V tolerant IOs can be connected directly to a

parallel port device or for true 5V signalling

environments the OXPCIe840 includes the direction

control logic required for an external parallel port

driver. Additionally the device provides 8

GPIO/PWM lines for further flexibility and product

customization.

With comprehensive power management and

industrial temperature range as standard, the

OXPCIe840 is perfect for power and temperature

sensitive ExpressCard and MiniCard designs and is

the choice for high performance systems.

To support these advanced features the OXPCIe840 is

backed by a dedicated PLX device driver that is

quality assured, exhaustively tested and WHQL

approved; saving development time and providing

peace of mind.
