Functional Diagram:
The PCI-SIO8BXS-SYNC is a high performance, eight channel serial board based on the SIO4BX-SYNC
product line from General Standards Corporation. In order to maintain software compatibility, the
PCI-SIO8BXS-SYNC is implemented as two independent four channel SIO4BX cards.

Serial Interface:
The flexible synchronous interface may be configured as a three signal interface - Clock, Data, and
Envelope (Data Valid), or an even simpler two signal interface – Clock and Data. The PCIe4-SIO8BX-
SYNC allows the serial interface to be further customized with the following user configurable options:
Clocking Data on either rising or falling edge of the clock
Active Hi or Active Lo polarity for the Envelope Signal
NRZ (Level) or NRZB (Inverted Level) Data Encoding
Clock and/or Data may be configured high or low while idle
Transmit Word Size may be configured from 1 to 64k bits (consecutive bit count)
Transmit Gap Size (clocks between words) can be configured from 0 to 64k bits
Data may be transmitted MSB first or LSB first (8-bit or less word size).
Transmit Clock may be configured from 10MHz down to 50Hz on a per channel basis
Auxiliary Clock input from cable may be used as Transmit Clock
Transmit and Receive direction may be defined as DTE or DCE for each channel
Serial Signals:
TxC - (Out) Transmit Clock
TxD - (Out) Transmit Data
TxE - (Out) Transmit Envelope (Data Valid)
RxC - (In) Receive Clock
RxD - (In) Receive Data
RxE - (In) Receive Envelope (Data Valid)
AuxC - (In/Out) Auxiliary Clock
Spare - (In/Out) Spare General Purpose IO (May also be used as interrupt input)
The location of the transmit signals (TxC/TxD/TxE) and receive signals (RxC/RxD/RxE) on the cable may
be swapped via software by setting DTE/DCE mode.
