16c95x Serial Port Driver -

With an optimized 16C95x driver at 3 Mbps, 115,000 interrupts/sec vs. 900,000 interrupts/sec on a 16550—a 87% reduction in CPU load.

In the world of industrial automation, legacy hardware communication, and specialized networking, the remains a critical component. Based on the high-performance UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) architecture developed by Oxford Semiconductor (now part of Broadcom), the 16C95x family—including the popular 16C950 and 16C954—represents the gold standard for high-speed serial communication. 16c95x serial port driver
