lecteur de cartes à puce (ISO 7816), ExpressCard 54

The ExpressCard54 standard was developed by members of the PCMCIA organization which includes leading technology companies, card manufacturers and representatives of the PC card industry. As the inventor of the PCMCIA standard and owner of the associated global patents, Identive naturally played a leading role in the development of this new standard. The ExpressCard interface is the official successor to the PCMCIA interface and was introduced by Intel with its Sonoma technology. Computers and laptops equipped with this new interface are increasingly available on the market. The main advantage of this format is its higher data transfer rate of 344,105 bps, which ensures high throughput without delays. The interface is based on the new PCI Express standard, unlike the old format which is based on PCI. The ExpressCard54 SCT3340 reader offers all the advantages of the ExpressCard standard. Thanks to this standard, the devices are powerful and easy to use, but smaller than traditional PCMCIA cards. Additionally, the ExpressCard54 is hot-pluggable, meaning you can insert the card after booting and it will be automatically detected and configured. This gives you various expansion options.
