Abstract
Of the line concentrator with a storage function, an insertion end to be connected to a connecting port and a housing provided with a plurality of connecting ports compose its main body. The housing has therein a serially connected line concentrating circuit and a flash memory storage circuit being integrated therein. A line concentrating and distributing control loop in the serially connected line concentrating circuit is connected with a serial connecting-line interface in the flash memory storage circuit to form integration of the serially connected line concentrating circuit with the flash memory storage circuit. So that the entire line concentrator can afford expanding and connecting of other peripheral implements by taking advantage of the provision of the connecting ports, and can form a personal disk for storing data by taking advantage of the memories in the flash memory storage circuit.
