{{short description|Memory card format}} [[Image:Intel Miniature Card Series 100 Flash 4MB 20081221.jpg|thumb|Miniature Card]]The '''Miniature Card''' or MiniCard is a [[flash memory|flash]] or [[Static random access memory|SRAM]] [[memory card]] standard first promoted by [[Intel]] in 1995. The card was backed by [[Advanced Micro Devices]], [[Fujitsu]] and [[Sharp Electronics]]. They are no longer manufactured. The Miniature Card Implementers Forum (MCIF) promoted this standard for consumer electronics, such as PDAs and palmtops, digital audio recorders, digital cameras and early smartphones. The Miniature Card is 37 Γ 45 Γ 3.5 mm thick and can have devices on both sides of the substrate. Its 60-pin connector was a memory-only subset of PCMCIA and featured 16-bit data and 24-bit address bus with 3.3 or 5-volt signaling. Miniature Cards support Attribute Information Structure (AIS) in the [[IΒ²C]] identification [[EEPROM]]. The Miniature Card format competed with [[SmartMedia]] and [[CompactFlash]] cards, also released during the mid-1990s, and the earlier, larger Type I [[PC card|PC Cards]]. Ultimately, CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards were more successful in the consumer electronics market. [[Olympus Corporation|Olympus]] Digital Voice Recorder D1000 and the [[digital camera]] [[HP Photosmart]] uses the Miniature Card.<ref>[https://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/1997/FL061797.HTM Intel Press Release β Olympus Recorder First To Feature Intel Miniature Card]</ref><ref>[https://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/1997/FL031797.HTM Intel Press Release β Intel Miniature Card Enables HP's PhotoSmart Digital Camera ]</ref><ref>[https://www.digitalkameramuseum.de/en/cameras/item/hp-photosmart HP PhotoSmart(1997) β digitalkameramuseum.de]</ref> Also [[Philips Velo]] 500 PDAs and CISCO 800 and 1700 used Miniature Cards. ==See also== *[[Linear Flash]] ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== * {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070829172643/http://www.pcmcia.org/miniaturecard.htm |date=August 29, 2007 |title="Image and data about MiniCard from PCMCIA.org" }} {{Memory Cards}} [[Category:Solid-state computer storage media]] {{compu-hardware-stub}}
