ExpressCard Standard and Application


What is NEWCARD?

Evolving demands of client platform exceed the capabilities of the traditional PCI parallel bus

ExpressCard host interface initially support Generation 2 PCI Express speeds

Interface supporting USB 2.0 for ease of integrating popular peripheral functions

Transition to PCI Express architecture is creating new product

opportunities for computer OEMs, add-in card manufacturers and connector suppliers

ExpressCardExpressCard


Relationship to the PC Card Standard

The ExpressCard Standard is a member of the family of standards published by the PCMCIA.

The PC Card Standard, which defines the popular CardBus and 16-bit PC Card add-in cards based on 68-pin connector, represents the first and second generations of the PC Card modular form-factor model in which ExpressCardä technology bases its heritage

ExpressCard technology will replace PC Card and CardBus technology in desktop and notebook PCs

Provide better performance in areas of memory, communications, security and networking

The new specification builds on the successful characteristics of the PC Card: reliability, ease of use and wide industry support with reduced size, increased speed, lower costs and support of advanced serial I/O technologies, interface to USB 2.0 and PCI Express
