Start with the news release PCI bridge chips include super-fast UARTs from Oxford Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "These bridge chips offer tuneable FIFO trigger levels, automated Xon/Xoff in-band and hardware out-of-band flow control and a clock prescaler.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release PMC adapter provides four independent RS232s from Concurrent Technologies: "A new four-channel asynchronous serial communications PMC adapter is suitable for CompactPCI or VME platforms.".
 
In September 2004, we covered the news from Pro-Lite Technology - take a look at Imaging photometer for speedy display testing which says: "New from Pro-Lite Technology is the ProMetric PM-1400 Fast series of CCD-based imaging photometer from Radiant Imaging.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from SBS Technologies, ULV Celeron keeps cPCI SBC running cool, as well as Dual-UART bridge chip speeds throughput from GD Technik, and Fast throughput from dual-UART PCI-bridge chip from Oxford Semiconductor.
