With the CP3-HOUSE, EKF introduces an universal PCMCIA/CardBus hostadapter (PC Card drive) for CompactPCI® Systems.
The success story of the PC Card started with the (16-bit) PCMCIA standard. Nowadays the user has the choice between numerous memory cards, I/O-adapters, and even PCMCIA ATA hard disks. Nearly any notebook computer provides a PC Card slot.
Whilst 16-bit PC Cards have their limitations in throughput, the newer (32-bit) CardBus standard allows to share the full bandwidth of the PCI system bus with PC Cards.
The CP3-HOUSE supports any combination of 16-bit PCMCIA and 32-bit CardBus PC Cards in its two sockets, automatically powered at 5V or 3.3V, as required. By employing a simple adapter, also CompactFlash cards can be used. Hot swap (hot insertion and removal) of the PC Cards is allowed.
The CP3-HOUSE is a 3U CPCI card. Designed for industrial use, the CP3-HOUSE is a rugged and reliable PC Card drive, suitable for any CompactPCI® system. I/O Expansion or storage upgrades can be realized fast and easily.
