What is NEWCARD? 

ExpressCard 


Evolving demands of client platform exceed the capabilities of 

the traditional PCI parallel bus 

ExpressCard host interface initially support Generation 2 PCI 

Express speeds 

Interface supporting USB 2.0 for ease of integrating popular 

peripheral functions 

Transition to PCI Express architecture is creating new product 

opportunities for computer OEMs, add-in card manufacturers 

and connector suppliers 


6

Relationship to the PC Card Standard 

The ExpressCard Standard is a member of the family of 

standards published by the PCMCIA. 

The PC Card Standard, which defines the popular CardBus and 

16-bit PC Card add-in cards based on 68-pin connector, 

represents the first and second generations of the PC Card 

modular form-factor model in which ExpressCardä technology 

bases its heritage 

ExpressCard technology will replace PC Card and CardBus 

technology in desktop and notebook PCs 

Provide better performance in areas of memory, 

communications, security and networking 

The new specification builds on the successful characteristics of 

the PC Card: reliability, ease of use and wide industry support 

with reduced size, increased speed, lower costs and support of 

advanced serial I/O technologies, interface to USB 2.0 and PCI 

Express
