Tech Lowdown

There is a significant difference in performance between the "Sealevel architecture" and "industry average architecture" for USB serial adapters. Performance testing of 8-port USB serial adapters proved that the architecture determines the maximum baud rate and more importantly, the throughput of connected serial devices. The findings concluded:

• Architecture design significantly impacts performance of multi-port
  USB serial adapters.
• Sealevel's "dedicated USB UART" design is equivalent to
  connecting multiple single-port USB serial adapters to the host.
• Sealevel's USB serial architecture allows each port to run at its
  specified maximum data rate.
