Introduction

The PEX1S1PMINI 1S1P Mini PCI Express Serial Parallel Card w/ 16950 UART turns a mini PCIe slot

into 1 RS232 (DB9) Serial port and 1 Parallel port.

A native PCI Express single chip design allows you to take advantage of full PCI Express

capability, providing improved speed and reliability while reducing the CPU load by as much as

48% over conventional bridge chip cards. Compatible with a broad range of operating systems

including Windows®, Linux, and Mac OS, the mini-PCI Express Serial/Parallel Card can be installed

into almost any system.

The mini PCIe Parallel/Serial combo card oers a cost-saving solution for adding legacy serial and

parallel support for embedded systems that aren’t normally compatible.
