CF ExtenderCard™

CompactFlash Extender Card

Like its popular big brother the PC ExtenderCard, the CF ExtenderCard is designed with similar features providing engineering, manufacturing, and quality control personnel the flexibility they need in designing and troubleshooting CompactFlash Cards. The CF ExtenderCard plugs into the host's CF Type I or II socket and will accept either CF Type I or II cards in its 50-pin socket. It also features a 68-pin socket to accept Accurite's  PC ReportCard™. It can also be used as an adapter that accepts all PCMCIA form factors (Type I, II, or III) with a CF card device. To overcome any power related problems due to the host device, each CF ExtenderCard is shipped with an AC adapter to supply power to the CF card being tested or to the PCMCIA card plugged into the 68-pin socket. 

CF ExtenderCard Features

• Four layer PCB with extensive grounding
  • Minimizes noise
  • Maximizes signal integrity
• Extended length gives adequate clearance for most CF Card sockets with ejector buttons
• Clearly labeled mnemonic test points are provided for each of the 50 bus pins
• 16 DIP switches break the connection of key signals to aid problem isolation
• Built-in push button switches simulate removal and reinsertion of a CF Card (ie, hotswapping), while prolonging the life of the computer's CF Card slot
• A 68-pin socket allows direct access for logic analyzers or the PC ReportCard™
• Provides either host supplied Vcc or regulated Vcc (either +3.3 volts or +5 volts) when used with the supplied AC adapter.
