ExpressCard Features ExpressCard is an emerging technology and industry standard for connectors and assemblies that offer improved performance in a smaller footprint for next-generation mobile and desktop PCs. The ExpressCard standard was created by a broad coalition of system OEMs, card manufacturers and connector and component manufacturers including Dell, HP, IBM, Intel, Lexar Media, Microsoft, SCM Microsystems and Texas Instruments. ExpressCard technology reduces the complexity of system and card implementations by providing a hot-pluggable card expansion capability that supports sealed desktop chassis' and thinner laptop designs. By building the standard on existing PCI Express and USB architectures, computer manufacturers no longer have the cost burden of a bridge component. Similarly, card manufacturers are able to use the broad range of standard silicon in building their products. Please phone or write to us at CCM for more information on ExpressCard availability.
