PCI-to-PCMCIA Host Adapter
OVERVIEW
The CL-PD6729 is a single-chip PCMCIA (also
known as PC Card) host adapter solution capable of
controlling two fully independent PCMCIA sockets.
The chip is fully PCMCIA-2.1 and JEIDA-4.1 compli-
ant and is optimized for use in notebook and hand-
held computers where reduced form factor and low
power consumption are critical design objectives.
With the CL-PD6729, a complete dual-socket PCM-
CIA solution with power-control logic can occupy less
than 2 square inches (excluding connectors).
The CL-PD6729 chip employs energy-efficient,
mixed-voltage technology that can reduce system
power consumption by over 50 percent. The chip also
provides a Suspend mode, which stops the internal
clock, and an automatic Low-power Dynamic mode,
which stops transactions on the PCMCIA bus, stops
internal clock distribution, and turns off much of the
(cont.)
internal circuitry.
