CardBus System Architecture

Author: Don Anderson and Tom Shanley Publisher: Addison Wesley Weight: 2 lbs. Pages: 407 "Mindshare's CardBus System Architecture is a timely addition to the Mindshare PC System Architecture series. This book provides an excellent bridge between the CardBus Specification and its implementation, and will be a valued reference to both designer and user alike." -Dave Dickens, Applications Manager, PCIbus Solutions; Texas Instruments Description CardBus System Architecture describes the 32-bit PC Cards, called CardBus PC Cards, and the hardware and software interfaces required to implement the new CardBus solution. This book focuses on the design and implementation of CardBus Cards and the host systems required to support them, including the relationships and interaction between hardware and software elements associated with CardBus Cards and their host systems. Topics include: CardBus socket interface supporting 16-bit and CardBus PC Cards determining card type and initial Vcc requirements CardBus signaling environment CardBus bridge requirements bridge configuration header definition bridge configuration types of CardBus transfers CardBus configuration header card information structure enabling and configuring CardBus Cards interrupt routing and handling legacy DMA support PC Card event notification card and socket services If you design or test software or hardware that involves 32-bit PC Cards, CardBus System Architecture is an essential, time-saving tool About the Authors... Tom Shanley is one of the world's foremost authorities on PC system architecture and has personally trained thousands of engineers in hardware and software design. Don Anderson passes on his wealth of experience in digital electronics and computer design by training engineers, programmers, and technicians for MindShare. Back to Bookstore
