ECP - Engineering Change Proposal. 2. ECP - Enhanced Capabilities Port. 3. ECP - Extended Capabilities Port. 4. ECP - Extended Concurrent Prolog. ) for use in its popular SMART ST1414L PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, San Jose, CA, www.pcmcia.org) An international standards body and trade association that was founded in 1989 to establish a standard for connecting peripherals to portable computers. PCMCIA created the PC Card. See PC Card. multifunctional modem card. "The SMART ST1414L showcases how our highly integrated modem ICs enable designing feature-packed, compact modem cards," said George Urbani, director of personal communications products for Cirrus Logic (company) Cirrus Logic - A manufacturer of integrated circuits including the Advanced RISC Machine and display interface processors and cards for use as Windows accelerators (requiring dedicated driver software). http://cirrus.com/. . "With its new PC modem card, Smart Modular offers users an outstanding communications tool that provides virtually every communication function of a fixed-site office." Smart Modular's new PCMCIA entry optimizes the fax and voice capabilities of Cirrus Logic's modem chip set to support such options as multiple location faxing, remote retrieval of faxes, support for up to 10 voice mailboxes, call transfer and call paging. Additionally, the chip set allows the modem to automatically recognize a voice or data transmission. "Using Cirrus Logic's modem chip set helped us to design the most versatile PCMCIA modem available," said Haran Pranatharthi, vice president of engineering for Smart Modular Technologies. "It offers the enhanced audio and fax support we required in a form factor ideal for PC cards." To ensure error-free data transfers, Cirrus Logic's modem products incorporate data compression data compression Process of reducing the amount of data needed for storage or transmission of a given piece of information (text, graphics, video, sound, etc.), typically by use of encoding techniques. capabilities and high-level error correction control as well as automatic line equalization In communications, techniques used to reduce distortion and compensate for signal loss (attenuation) over long distances. to take care of bad connections. Advanced power management features that include "sleep" and "stop" power-down modes support energy efficient operations.
