Frequently Asked Questions

How many ports does the PCI-1620A-DE have and what protocol do they use?

The PCI-1620A-DE is an 8-port RS-232 PCI communication card. It uses a 1x Female DB62 connector.

What is the maximum data transmission speed supported?

The card supports speeds from 50 bps up to 921.6 kbps, and it supports any baud rate setting.

What UART and FIFO does the PCI-1620A-DE use?

The card uses an XR17V358 UART with 256-byte FIFOs, which reduces CPU load.

What is the power consumption of the PCI-1620A-DE?

The card draws 260 mA @ +3.3 V (typical).

What is the operating temperature range and humidity tolerance?

The operating temperature range is -10 ~ 60°C (14 ~ 140°F), with an operating humidity range of 5 ~ 95% RH, non-condensing. Storage temperature is -25 ~ 85°C (-13 ~ 185°F).

What certifications does the PCI-1620A-DE have?

The card is CE and FCC class A certified, and is RoHS compliant (2002/95/EC).

What operating systems are supported?

The card supports Windows XP/7/8/10 and Linux. Bundled software is ICOM Tools. You should reference the software release note to confirm the exact supported OS versions.

What surge and ESD protection does the PCI-1620A-DE provide?

The PCI-1620A model provides ESD protection of 15KV (air) / 8KV (contact) and EFT protection of 1000 V. Ports are EFT protected up to 1,000 V. Note that the PCI-1620A model does not list surge or isolation protection values in the datasheet; those are found on other models in the family (PCI-1620B, PCI-1622B, PCI-1622C).

What are the physical dimensions of the card?

The card measures 174.65 x 106.67 mm (6.88" x 4.2").

What data signals and flow control options are supported?

For RS-232, the data signals are TxD, RxD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD. Supported flow control options are DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS, and Xon/Xoff. Supported data bits are 5, 6, 7, 8 with parity options of None, Odd, Even, Mark, or Space, and stop bits of 1, 1.5, or 2.

How-to Guides

Connect serial devices using the correct cable accessory

Identify your card model: the PCI-1620A-DE uses a 1x Female DB62 connector.
For connecting to 8 devices with DB25 connectors, use the OPT8C-AE (DB62 x1 to DB25 x8 Cable, 1m), which is compatible with PCI-1620A-DE.
For connecting to 8 devices with DB9 connectors, use the OPT8H-AE (DB62 x1 to DB9 x8 Cable, 1m), which is compatible with PCI-1620A-DE.
Attach the appropriate cable to the DB62 connector on the card.
