The ARTIC
family of realltime co-processor cards features 16- bit processors and a
high-performance system bus interface. ARTIC products are ideal for
off-loading communication tasks while providing front-end processing of
signaling, process and communications data.
ARTIC offers an open architecture for ISA and PCI bus systems. It
provides a common platform ideal for OEM customers, third-party
developers, and end users looking to embed ARTIC capabilities into
products, to leverage system, and to satisfy their communications needs.
ARTIC's dependable components consist of adapter cards, pluggable
electrical interface cards, cables, software, and publications. Users
benefit from multiple ports per adapter, multiple protocols on a single
adapter, multiple adapters per system, plus upstream and downstream
connectivity.
Typical applications include: remote LAN access, network bridging and
routing, multiple WAN connections, remote host connectivity, modem
pooling, telephony automation, credit authorization, travel reservation
and ticketing, point-of-sale devices and networking, plant floor
connectivity, terminal connections, custom device connections, telephony
signaling, stock market data delivery, automatic teller services,
process control, and telecommunications switching.

The ARTIC
family of computer communication products consists of co-processor cards
that are specifically designed to increase the speed and efficiency and
communication options of a computer workstation or server.
Each ARTIC card is equipped with its own CPU, memory and input/output
lines. This "computer within a computer" receives, processes
and transmits data on its own, thereby leaving the computer's main
processor free to handle those tasks that it does best.
If you know what computer bus structure you need, go directly to that
architecture for product information -- choose PCI
or ISA . Or feel free to browse our site
and go ARTIC as you wish.
 
These ARTIC
cards conform to Intel's Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI 2.1]
standard. Only 5 volt, 32 bit PCI expansion slots are supported.
The PCI bus is synchronized with the microprocessor clock speed, in the
range of 20 to 33 Mhz. PCI uses all active paths to transmit both
address and data signals, sending the address on one clock cycle and
data on the next. Go to PCI ARTIC.
 
These ARTIC
cards conform to the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) standard bus.
This architecture, associated with the IBM AT motherboard, allows 16
bits at a time to flow between the motherboard circuitry and the ARTIC
card. Go to ISA ARTIC. |
