Cependant, comme on peut utiliser si necessaire divers dispositifs numeriques, il convient done de transferer des donnees entre ces dispositifs. Par consequent, des cartes a memoire vent creees pour stocker des donnees afin que des donnees puissent etre transferees entre ces dispositifs. Pour les diverges applications, differents types de carte a memoire vent con$us, par exemple des cartes a puces compactes (cartes CD), des cartes supports a microprocesseur (cartes SM), des cartes multimedias (cartes MMC), des cartes numeriques de securite (cartes SD), des clefs USB (cartes MS), des cartes de portails magiques (cartes MG), des pilotes pour micro-ordinateurs servant a transferer des donnees et acceder a des dispositifs. Cependant, cela presente un inconvenient pour les utilisateurs. En outre, des cartes a memoire differentes posent des problemes de nombre de broches et de formats de donnees. Il en resulte un probleme concernant les interfaces pour convertir des donnees de formats differents. Par consequent, l'utilisateur doit encore disposer de divers types d'adaptateurs pour cartes a memoire (par exemple, la carte d'interface pour conversion de clef USB, cf. Fig. 8, et une carte a puce compacte) pour pouvoir utiliser des dispositifs numeriques differents, ce qui Thanks to advances in digital technology, various digital products are used in everyday life, for example digital cameras or digital cameras, personal digital assistants, MP3s, industrial computers and other private applications, etc. These products are widely used and well designed. However, since various digital devices can be used if necessary, data should therefore be transferred between these devices. Therefore, memory cards are created to store data so that data can be transferred between these devices. For different applications, different types of memory cards are designed, for example compact smart cards (CD cards), microprocessor-based support cards (SM cards), multimedia cards (MMC cards), digital cards of security (SD cards), USB keys (MS cards), magic portal cards (MG cards), drivers for microcomputers used to transfer data and access devices. However, this presents a drawback for users. In addition, different memory cards pose problems with the number of pins and data formats. This results in a problem concerning the interfaces for converting data of different formats. Consequently, the user still needs to have various types of adapters for memory cards (for example, the interface card for converting a USB key, cf. Fig. 8, and a compact smart card) in order to be able to use different digital devices, which
accro^t done le cout.therefore increases the cost.
