PCMCIA cards switched to new standard

Elan Digital Systems is now offering its extensive design and development expertise to customers for the new Express Card standard.

Express Card is the new standard that is fast replacing PCMCIA, and for many producers of PCMCIA products the redesign of their existing cards to the new Express Card to work with the latest laptops has become a matter of urgency.

Elan Digital Systems, for many years recognised as a world leader in customised PC Card design and manufacture, is today offering its extensive design and development expertise to customers for the new Express Card standard.

Elan Digital is a member of PCI Special Interest Group and together with its many years of experience of PC interface design, development and manufacture, is able to enhance and look at cost efficiency as it redevelops existing card designs into the new format.

Elan has more recently been heavily involved in USB design programmes including its own VMB5000, a very high speed bridge chip.

This chip was the first of its kind in the market, and since its launch in 2004, is now in use in mass produced communications products worldwide.

With on site prototype and low volume manufacturing facilities plus mass production in China Elan can provide a fast, economical and integrated design and manufacturing service.

All products are designed and manufactured in accordance with latest RoHS requirements.

Elan has also registered and applied for a significant number of important patents for design techniques which reduce time to market and add product value, and will be using these to develop the next generation of Express Cards even more swiftly.
