PEX1S552

Add a high-speed RS-232 Serial port to your computer through a PCI Express expansion slot

The PEX1S552 PCI Express based serial adapter card allows you to turn a PCI Express slot into an RS232 (DB9) serial connection. The card is constructed using a native single chip design that lets you harness the full capability offered by PCI Express (PCIe), while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional bridge chip serial cards.
