  • Reduced complexity multifunction expansion card and method of operating the same
    Publication number: 20070001017
    Abstract: A multifunction expansion card (200) comprises a MUX/DEMUX (206) for selectively coupling either a first PCMCIA module (208) or a second PCMCIA module (210) to a card connector (202). A microcontroller (238) controls the MUX/DEMUX (206) and an optoisolator (224) which is used to selectively couple a first card detect pin CD1 to a ground plane (236) of the card (200). Switching between modules is initiated by a host (100), to which the card (200) is connected, setting an interrupt of the microcontroller (238). In servicing such interrupts the microcontroller (238) changes a data select input (254) of the MUX/DEMUX (206) and temporarily decouples the first card detect pin CD1 in order to simulate unplugging and replugging of the card (200) and thereby initiate a process of reinitialization of a host bus adapter (106) and the card (200) by card enabler software (110) of the host (100).
