Introduction

CH359 is a PCI based 16 UARTs chip，contains 16 UARTs which compatible with 16C550 or 16C750. The UART supports independently transmit and receive 128 bytes FIFO buffer. Supports communication baud rate up to 4Mbps. It can be used for RS232 serial expansion, PCI high-speed serial with automatic hardware speed control, serial networking, RS485 communications, etc.

The chart below is application project.
