Synopsis

PC Card (or PCMCIA) technology allows computers to interface with each other using less space than conventional interfaces. Currently, most applications are in the personal computing market, to enhance peripheral capabilities. As the industry changes, the applications will grow outside of the PC arena, into areas such as medical instrumentation and digital cameras, where peripheral expansion was previously unavailable.One of the advantages of this book over others is that it does more than repeat standards or list suppliers. It actually describes and demonstrates design examples which can be applied to projects. This makes it a useful guide design engineers who want to take advantage of the PC Card technology in their work.Faisal Haque is Design Engineering Manager at Baynetworks in Santa Clara, California and has been involved in PCMCIA design for the past four years. He is currently the chair of the PC Card ATA Working Group and has contributed to the 1995 PC Card Standard.

A designer's guide to PC Card (PCMCIA). Design and software implementation examples.Coverage includes Release 2.1 as well as PC Card'95.

About this title

From the Author

While there are many good books on PCMCIA, the glaring need
Hi I am the author of this book. While there are many good books on PCMCIA, the glaring need was for a book that would cover the needs of the designers w/ concrete examples. The PCMCIA standard leaves many options open to the designer, I have also tried to provide designers w/ the trade-offs for making certain choices as well as provided recommendations on what most people in the industry have been doing.

Hope you find it useful.
