Pcmcia ram expansion: MemCard – PCMCIA Expansion

MemCard – PCMCIA Expansion

With a 68-pin PCMCIA-ATA interface, the MemCard supports Flash cards up to 220 MB from SanDisk, and M-Systems. 5V Flash memory chips (128/512 KB each) are also available for non-removable data storage. It provides I/O mapping access and interrupt support for PCMCIA I/O cards.

These credit-card-sized 68-pin cards can be used as portable data carriers and provide a reliable and efficient method to transfer useful data or programs among embedded controllers, PCs, and different systems. With TERN’s software support, you can access any of the sectors within the Flash card memory. An optional ejecting mechanism is also available.

Up to six 24-bit ADC (LTC2400) chips, each providing one channel of 0-2.5V analog inputs, can be installed. The LTC2400 is a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter with an integrated oscillator. It uses delta-sigma technology, providing a typical conversion time of 160ms.

The MM uses a 2.5V precision reference (LT1019-2. 5) for the 24-bit ADC. The LT1019 has a typical ultra-low temperature drive of 3ppm/C and a built-in temperature sensor. For applications that use thermocouples, the LT1019 can be used to measure board or ambient temperatures.

Up to three TLC2543 chips can also be installed, providing a total of 33 12-bit ADC inputs. The 12-bit ADC has sample-and-hold, a high-impedance reference input, 11 single-ended 0-5V (or 0 to REF) inputs, and a 10 kHz sample rate while driven by a 40 MHz A-Engine.

An Ethernet LAN controller (CS8900, Crystal Semiconductor Corporation) can be installed on the MM. The CS8900 includes on-chip RAM and 10BASE-T transmit and receive filters. The CS8900 directly interfaces to the TERN controller’s data bus, providing high-speed, full duplex operation. A standard RJ45 8-pin connector can be installed for the Ethernet LAN connection.

Due to mechnical constraints, the Ethernet RJ45 connector and the 68-pin PCMCIA socket cannot be installed at the same time on the MM. A flat cable with an off-board Rj45 may be connected to the MM if the PCMCIA socket is installed.

Tips for Choosing the Best Business Laptop

Introduction

Similar to USB devices, ExpressCard, CardBus, and PCMCIA expansion cards can enhance your organization’s laptops so that they can be adapted to fit the needs of your staff. Also like USB devices, laptop expansion cards can be quickly installed and removed. For example, a professional that requires his or her laptop to have serial connector support for an older printer will be able to add that capability swiftly with expansion cards. There are a variety of features and functionality that can be added to laptops with expansion cards, such as: additional USB ports, IEEE 1394 support, eSATA support, Ethernet, and more.

Below are the three most common standards for laptop expansion cards:

PCMCIA (PC Card)

Short for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, it is a laptop expansion card standard originally designed to allow for more data storage. The standard eventually came to be used by many types of peripherals other than storage expansion cards, such as Ethernet and SATA support. They can sometimes also be referred to as PC Cards.

CardBus

A successor to the original PC Card standard, it is compliant with PCMCIA 5.0 specifications and features a 32-bit 33MHz PCI bus.

While it has the same form factor as the PC Card standard a CardBus laptop expansion card is incompatible with a PC Card slot.

ExpressCard

The ExpressCard standard was originally developed by the PCMCIA and is currently the fastest and most widely used expansion card standard. It comes in two form factors, ExpressCard/34 (34mm wide) and ExpressCard/54 (54mm wide). Cards with the ExpressCard/34 form factor can be used with ExpressCard/54 slots, but not vice versa.

Conclusion

By utilizing laptop expansion cards, professionals can quickly add functionality to their mobile workstations to fit their needs. When shopping for laptop expansion cards, be sure to check if your organization’s laptops have PCMCIA, CardBus, or ExpressCard slots.

PC CARD (PCMCIA) and Express Card

PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, PC Card, PC Cards, CardBus, JEIDA). Since the abbreviation itself is dissonant by ear, and the transcript even more so, a joke appeared: PCMCIA — People Can’t Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms — People can’t remember stupid computer abbreviations. Therefore, a shorter name was coined — PC Card … which did not take root, because everyone was already used to PCMCIA. As a result, such adapters are sometimes referred to as PCMCIA Cards, which is incorrect. Just as the name went wrong, so did the connector itself, although you will find it in any laptop. nine0003

Initially, the connector was designed to be able to connect additional modules in the same way as modules are connected to the PCI bus in a desktop PC. Thus, you can connect any device at high speed — USB, card reader of any memory cards, HDD, TV / FM tuner, Enternet port, LTP port, COM port, IDE, SATA, eSATA, SCSI interface, IEEE port 1394, S-video, DVI port, RS-232, GPS navigator, etc. Developed at a time when there were no high-speed connections, but now there is USB and FireWire. Therefore, in fact, it has lost its meaning, especially because of the much higher cost. Those who have a desktop PC should be aware that there is an AT-WR PCI 2411 adapter available that can be installed in a desktop PC, so that the purchased hardware will not be lost. nine0003

There are four types of PCMCIA (all have a 68-pin connector, 85.6 mm long, 54 mm wide).

Type I — 3.3 mm height, 16-bit data exchange, now almost never occur (they work only as memory cards to emphasize the difference from flash drives, they are called «linear»). ISA bus analog, operating voltage 3.3/5.0 V. PCMCIA 2.0 standard.

Type II — 5.0 mm high, 32-bit communication, most common. An analogue of the PCI bus, operating voltage 3.3 V. Type I cards can be connected to Type II, but not vice versa (this is prevented by a special metal shield with eight bumps). PCMCIA standard since 3.0. nine0003

Type III — 10.5 mm high, 32-bit communication, designed to fit two Type II cards in its place. PCI bus analog, operating voltage 3.3 V. PCMCIA standard, starting from 4.0.

Type IV — 16.0 mm high, 32-bit communication, discontinued.

In parallel with PCMCIA, Japan implemented its own standard, JEIDA. Since 1991, the JEIDA 4.1 and PCMCIA 2.0 specifications have been released and are fully compatible. Further standardization has resulted in the introduction of advanced Plug&Play features, power management and many other improvements. For this version, the name CardBus was introduced (PCMCIA 5.0 and JEIDA 4.2 specifications), as a result, modern cards are now often referred to as PCMCIA CardBus. nine0003

Keep in mind that PCMCIA is not an extension of RAM — the misconception arose due to the external similarity of some old RAM modules and PCMCIA cards. If the pads are not 68, but 108, then this is a Small-PCI (SPCI) standard card: similar in size to PCMCIA, divided into two types — Style A and B, can be directly connected to the PCI bus, but does not support hot plugging. SPCI is extremely rare in laptops.

The compartment must be protected from dust by at least a plastic plug, and preferably a cover — try not to lose it. During operation, the card can get very hot (up to 55-60 °C) — be careful when removing it. When connecting the antenna, be sure to provide grounding. nine0003

When disassembling, keep in mind that the PCMCIA connectors are connected as a single module. Most of the screws that hold them are located in the bottom of the laptop, sometimes under the covers of other compartments, in the worst case, inside the case. After removing all the bolts, the compartment is removed as a single block.

PCMCIA cards support hot-swapping, that is, the adapter can be removed / inserted into the slot without rebooting the OS (this is ensured by the fact that hardware resources are initially reserved, regardless of whether the device is connected or not). The exception is cases of incorrectly written drivers that are not able to implement the Plug&Play procedure. If this happened, let’s try to figure out why. Let’s look at the diagram:

Adapter > Enabler module > Card Services driver > Socket Services > socket > Windows

From the presented chain, you can see that Windows does not have direct access to the hardware component of the card. If there are PCMCIA connectors not only in the laptop, but also in the docking station, several Socket Services drivers (there may be several) interact with one Card Services service (only one). The Enabler module receives parameters from Card Services and configures the adapter and Plug&Play (be sure to install the latest PCMCIA drivers from the laptop manufacturer and PCMCIA drivers from the card manufacturer). Sometimes, especially in OSes prior to Windows XP, an entry about loading the necessary drivers in config.sys and autoexec.bat is necessary. Make sure Socket Services is loaded before Card Services. nine0003

ExpressCard allows you to connect additional modules in the same way as modules are connected to the PCI Express bus in a desktop PC. The main advantages are the speed of the PCI Express bus about 2 times faster, extended support for energy saving, support for drivers at the OS level. It is not backward compatible with the PCMCIA connector, it is being promoted to the market as its replacement.

Available in two versions. Each of them is subdivided into a regular version (entirely placed in the connector) and Extended (considerably protruding from it). nine0003

SW (Single Wide), aka ExpressCard-34 — single wide, 34x75x5 mm, 32-bit communication, operating voltage 3.3 V.

DW (Double Wide), aka ExpressCard-54 — double wide, 54x75x5 mm, 32-bit communication, operating voltage 3.3V.

PCMCIA (Eng. Personal Computer Memory Card International Association — International Association of Memory Cards for Personal Computers) is a specification for expansion modules for laptops and computers, which are called PC cards (PC Card). nine0003

The PCMCIA specification was developed as a standard for memory expansion cards and the connector for connecting these cards. Its further development and refinement made it possible to connect various peripheral devices (modems, network cards, etc.) to the laptop via the PCMCIA connector in addition to memory cards.

From history, it can be noted that PCMCIA was developed as a US response to the JEIDA expansion card specification developed in Japan. In 1991 both standards merged and the similar specifications JEIDA 4.1 and PCMCIA 2.0 (PC Card) were released. nine0003

Most older laptops are equipped with 2 Type 2 PCMCIA slots, allowing you to connect two Type II devices or one Type 3 card. In the process of replacing outdated COM and LPT interfaces from laptops with more high-performance USB, FireWire, Ethernet, the need for PCMCIA began to decrease. Laptops were already equipped with the 1st Type II slot.

PCMCIA types

Version 1.x of the PCMCIA specification described Type I cards with a 16-bit interface that were used only
as memory expansion modules. They were 3.3 mm thick and used a connector with
one set of contacts. nine0003

Type II cards are equipped with either a 16- or 32-bit
interface; The connector already has two rows of contacts. The thickness of the cards is 5 mm.
Type II cards support I/O devices, allowing
use them to connect peripherals.

Type III cards support 16 or 32 bit interface,
use four rows of contacts. These cards are 10.5mm thick, which
allows you to install standard external connectors on the card
interfaces and thus get rid of additional cables. nine0003

Other dimensions for all three card types: 3.3 inches long and 2.13 inches wide.

CardBus

Further developments in PCMCIA led to the CardBus (PCMCIA 5.0 or JEIDA 4. 2). CardBus are 32-bit PCMCIA cards introduced in February 1995. Since the end of 1997, laptops have been widely equipped with these slots.

The CardBus is electrically and logically a full 32-bit PCI bus with dimensions and connector
PCMCIA buses. CardBus devices can support DMA, which allows CardBus devices to communicate with other peripherals or RAM without using the CPU. nine0003

The notch on the left front edge of the CardBus slot is smaller than not
CardBus cards, so a 32-bit CardBus card cannot be
installed in a slot designed for 16-bit cards only.
Most modern slots support CardBus cards and older ones.
16-bit cards.

The evolution of PCMCIA

PCMCIA pioneered a generation of storage cards
information based on flash-memory, which appeared as a result of attempts to improve
Specifications for Type I PCMCIA cards: CompactFlash, Miniature Card and SmartMedia. If you match the connector, then the CompactFlash can be successfully connected to PCMCIA.
