COMPACTFLASH CARD
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Micron
CompactFlash card is a small form fac-
tor, 50-pin connector, solid-state disk card with densities
ranging from 4MB to 64MB. Maximum compatibility
across various platforms is ensured because the
CompactFlash card implements an industry-standard
PCMCIA ATA- and IDE-compatible electrical interface.
Additionally, the card is mechanically and electrically
compliant with the CompactFlash Association (CFA)
CompactFlash specification, version 1.3. (For details on
this specification, refer to
www.compactflash.org
.)
Micron's MediaFlash memory components are used
on the card, which is specifically designed for high-
performance, low-cost, mass-storage applications.
Micron's CompactFlash card can be used in any appli-
cation designed for the CompactFlash specification.
Although it maintains compatibility with the electrical in-
terface of a standard PCMCIA card, CompactFlash has a
66 percent smaller form factor that makes it an ideal choice
for space-constrained, portable applications. With a 50-
pin to 68-pin PCMCIA adapter, the CompactFlash card can
be used in any Type II or Type III PCMCIA slot. Micron's
CompactFlash card provides a superior memory solution
for any application requiring rugged, compact, low-
power (battery-powered) and reliable mass storage.
