TC-002-01 is a rugged, high performance full size PCIe Mini Card which adds 4 independent full-duplex RS-422 serial ports to any embedded system or computer. Supporting baud rates up to 12Mbit/s and large 2 kilobyte transmit and receive buffers on each channel, this card is designed for reliable, high speed serial communication. Each receiver channel includes a termination resistor for use with long cables or high speed communication busses, to ensure proper cable termination.

TC-002-01 exceeds TIA/EIA-422 electrical specifications, utilizing one of the highest performance differential transceivers on the market. Robust ESD protection on all communication signals and extended common mode voltage range of ±15V ensures operation in harsh electrical environments. The Molex Micro-Lock Plus connector provides the highest reliability in cable retention and sets the TC-002-01 apart from other products in its class. An audible positive-locking connector and large metal solder tabs ensure a solid, reliable connection in high vibration and industrial temperature environments. Designed with a high performance USB bridge from FTDI, the TC-002-01 can integrate into any embedded system with minimal software or firmware effort. Plug-and-Play drivers for both Windows and Linux are available and supported by FTDI, the proven industry standard for USB-Serial bridge chipsets.
