ECF2400 ExpressCard, the next evolution of the PC Card, combines a smaller form factor and faster performance with the PC Card reliability and ease of use. It is a single-chip solution for IEEE 1394a compact size ExpressCard/34 module and the interface has a potential transfer rate of up to 500 MB/sec (or 250 MB/sec in each direction) using a single-lane (or x1) PCI Express link. ECF2400 was created to meet the need of the ExpressCard market where notebooks, desktops, and docking stations could add> two additional 1394a ports via a ingle slim-type ExpressCard. Users will benefit from ExpressCard plug-n-play ease of use, which eliminates the need to open the chassis to add new features
