- I would like to send very small messages over a serial line at 187.5
- kbps using V25 hardware (alias current-loop, alias RS-485) (I don't
- have control over the target device specs).
-
- I have a half-working prototype that is a regular serial port where I
- replaced the crystal (1.8 Mhz) by a 3.0 MHz version, (this should
- increase the max speed from 115.200 to 187.500) and I added a special
- V25 line driver chip after the regular V24 output (as I only need
- output) (I assume the output can drive a TTL input circuit).
-
- The bytes are received at the other end, but very unreliably (some
- values are never received, some after sending them twice).
-
- I replaced the clock circuit by a 3.0 MHz oscillator circuit, which
- didn't change anything, so I assume the problem is that the UART can't
- follow that speed.
-
- Could someone point me to a complete solution (V25 card supporting
- 187.5 kbps) or a regular serial line card with a replacable crystal
- and a UART supporting the 3.0 MHz clock and the high baud rate ?
-
- Thanks in advance.
