The EMM-8EL-XT is a PCIe/104 OneBank serial cards offering 4 or 8 serial ports with or without opto-isolation.  The module is based on a high speed UART with 256-byte TX/RX FIFOs and auto RS-485 transmit control.  The EMM-8EL-XT fits a wide variety of embedded serial I/O application needs.  Each port is independently isolated with an ADUM5402 isolated power + signal chip plus additional isolators for control signals. All features are programmable, including protocol and RS-485 line termination. An onboard microcontroller interfaces to the GPIO pins on the UART and provides control of the configuration options. The microcontroller also manages staggered turn-on of the ADUM5402 devices to limit power-on inrush current. All configurations are stored in the microcontroller’s flash memory and are automatically reloaded on power-up. The board is in the PCI/104-Expressform factor with the PCIe/104 one bank bus connector for cost reduction.
