"Brainboxes constantly strives to achieve higher standards for the benefit of customers."
‘Kaizen’ is a Japanese term meaning ‘continuous improvement’. Kaizen has been implemented
throughout Brainboxes, resulting in significant improvements to our products and our customer service,
as illustrated by the development of our own custom ASIC “LYNX” and our new lifetime warranty. As part of this
ongoing process, in 2004 we embarked on ‘Lean’ and ‘6 Sigma’ programs which are successfully increasing
productivity and efficiency in all areas of the company. More Info:

RS422 allows one transmitter and up to 10 receivers with data transmission rates up to 10 Megabits per second, for
distances up to 40 feet and up to 100 Kilobits per second, for distances up to 4000 feet
(1219 metres).

RS485, based on the RS422 standard, allows up to 32 driver/receivers pairs on a
party line data bus. This can be configured into half duplex and full duplex mode. Whilst
only one of these should be transmitting data at any time, the rest can all simultaneously
listen to the data. More Info:

We developed the Brainboxes LYNX (BB16PCI958) to enable us to drive product performance, and supply customer
needs for Universal PCI products (3.3v and 5v compatible). By reducing the part count and incorporating several
components into one chip (FIFO, UARTs, PCI interface), we have also increased board reliability. The LYNX also features
thorough backwards compatibility with legacy systems, tested beyond the databook for compatibility with standard
TL16C550, 750 UARTs. The chip is designed so that Brainboxes products will work with all applications designed for TI
UARTs. More Info:
