The transition to PCI Express (PCIe)
continues with Pericom’s PIC9X95x PCIe
to serial port bridge chips. Available in
two-, four-, and eight-port versions, pricing
starts at $5.30. The high-performance
16C950-compatible ports support synchronous
rates up to 62.5 Mbits/s. A serial
EEPROM interface provides startup configuration
parameters. The chips are available
in a plastic quad-flat package (PQFP) or a
ball-grid array (BGA) package. Drivers for
Linux and Windows are included.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
