Glossary: Product Features Explained
Universal PCI
Universal products allow compatibility with both 3.3 Volt and 5 Volt PCI systems. This ensures that Brainboxes
universal card range is backward compatible with older systems and works with all new PCI systems.
More info on 'Universal' products:
Low Profile
Low-Profile PCI is a new PCI card standard for space-constrained system designs. The new form factors maintain
the same electricals, PC signals and software drivers as standard PCI v3.0 expansion cards. They are also
mechanically similar; however, Low-Profile PCI is an additional form factor that defines a shorter raw card and new
mounting bracket for card retention.
Microsoft Logo Approval
The majority of Brainboxes products, including this one, have been approved by Microsoft as a fully tested and
compatible product with popular Microsoft Operating Systems. For the full list of Brainboxes approved products
PCI Compliant
All Brainboxes Universal PCI cards are fully PCI version 3.0 compliant, in accordance with the PCI-Special Interest
Group (PCI-SIG).
Large FIFO
FIFO means First In First Out, a FIFO is memory space on the Brainboxes card. A larger FIFO allows more memory
space for buffering data, so calls to the computer processor are less frequent. This significantly increases data
throughput and improves CPU availability for other applications.
4 Layer PCB
Printed Circuit Board with 4 layers of circuitry complies with the PCI SIG best practice guideline and ensures a more
reliable card. 1 layer is for power and 1 for ground which leads to greater EMC shielding for the signals. This
ultimately gives greater signal integrity.
Surface Mount Components
Most components on a Brainboxes card are placed by a surface mount machine. The surface mount machine
allows for highly accurate and fast production of Brainboxes cards. Orders can be met quickly, reliably and with
outstanding quality.
Capacitors
As required by the PCI-SIG all Brainboxes cards have capacitors connected to all the power pins on the PCI
connector, near to the connector. This ensures that the electrical power rails on the Brainboxes card stay at the
right voltage, regardless of the power demands placed on them. This helps data signals keep their integrity.

“Brainboxes’ passionately believes in the quality of its manufacturing process and will reflect this by
offering a Lifetime Warranty on ALL of its universal serial card range.”
Brainboxes is pleased to be able to extend a new Lifetime Warranty for all universal serial cards products. We have
introduced this based on our exceptional manufacturing and design quality and the company ethos of kaizen.
Brainboxes' Kaizen
"Brainboxes constantly strives to achieve higher standards for the benefit of customers."
‘Kaizen’ is a Japanese term meaning ‘continuous improvement’. Kaizen has been implemented
throughout Brainboxes, resulting in significant improvements to our products and our customer service,
as illustrated by the development of our own custom ASIC “LYNX” and our new lifetime warranty. As part of this
ongoing process, in 2004 we embarked on ‘Lean’ and ‘6 Sigma’ programs which are successfully increasing
Brainboxes' LYNX
We developed the Brainboxes LYNX (BB16PCI958) to enable us to drive product performance, and supply customer
needs for Universal PCI products (3.3V and 5V compatible). By reducing the part count and incorporating several
components into one chip (FIFO, UARTs, PCI interface), we have also increased board reliability. The LYNX also features
thorough backwards compatibility with legacy systems, tested beyond the databook for compatibility with standard
TL16C550, 750 UARTs. The chip is designed so that Brainboxes products will work with all applications designed for TI

UARTs.
RS232 Standard
RS232 is the best known industry standard providing
RS232 [9 Pin] Pinout
asynchronous serial communication using ± 12 Volt logic
levels over distances up to 100 feet (30 metres). RS232
can be configured to suit all needs from 3 wire
communication (using transmit, receive and ground lines only), to more complex

hardware and software handshaking.
