Mini-Bar Series Our smallest portable memory system
Mini-Bar Memory Tokens
Leveraging industry-standard serial EEPROM memory, Datakey offers Mini-Bar tokens with SPI or I2C interfaces and standard capacities of 16 Kbits and 256 Kbits. The tokens feature:
- Ultra-rugged Construction – Mini-Bar memory tokens are solid over-molded using a durable composite, making them impervious to liquids and virtually crush-proof.
- MIL-STD-810 Tested – Mini-Bar memory tokens have been tested to MIL-STD-810H standards for immersion, salt-fog, freezing rain, altitude, blowing sand and dust and more.
- Easy-to-Handle – Though about the size of a microSD card, Mini-Bar memory tokens are easier to handle.
Mini-Bar Receptacles
Mini-Bar receptacles are designed to mount on the surface or in a corner of an enclosure, using a minimum amount of volume. This, along with the product's small size make it ideal for small, handheld applications. Additional features include:
- IP67 Rating – All Mini-Bar receptacles have an IP67 rating and can ship with or without a pre-installed adhesive gasket. The small design also minimizes radiated emissions.
- MIL-STD-810 Tested – Mini-Bar receptacles have been tested to MIL-STD-810H standards (with and without mated Mini-Bar tokens) for shock, vibration, immersion, salt-fog, blowing dust & sand, freezing rain, altitude, and more.
- Open Design – The open design of the Mini-Bar receptacles allow for easy in-field cleaning. The contact system employs a wiping mechanism to clear any material with each insertion.
MBLink Programmers
It is often desired to use a PC to read data from or write data to a memory token. The MBLink programmers support all standard Mini-Bar tokens and connect to a PC via a USB port. The programmers come with Windows® drivers and a sample application. The sample application can be used for troubleshooting when integrating a Mini-Bar token into an embedded design, as it provides a known-good way to communicate with the memory token. For those who wish to develop their own Windows® applications, we offer a development kit with all of the necessary tools, including the programmer.
MBLink Development Kits
The MBLink development kit includes everything needed to develop a Windows® application that can read data from and write data to a Mini-Bar memory token using an MBLink programmer. The development kit includes:
- 2 – Mini-Bar memory token samples
- 1 – MBLink III Programmer
- 1 – Mini-Bar receptacle
- Plus drivers, software and documentation
