Description

The SanDisk CompactFlash Memory Card (CF) products provide high capacity solid-state flash memory that electrically complies with the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association ATA (PC Card ATA) standard. (In Japan, the applicable standards group is JEIDA.) The CompactFlash Memory Card Series also supports a True IDE Mode that is electrically compatible with an IDE disk drive. The original CF form factor card can be used in any system that has a CF slot, and with a Type II PCMCIA adapter can be used in any system that has a PCMCIA Type II or Type III socket.
The CompactFlash Memory Cards use SanDisk Flash memory, which was designed by SanDisk specifically for use in mass storage applicationcs. In addition to the mass storage specific Flash memory chips, the CompactFlash Memory Cards include an on-card intelligent controller that provides a high level interface to the host computer. This interface allows a host computer to issue commands to the memory card to read or write blocks of memory. The host addresses the card in 512 byte sectors. Each sector is protected by a powerful Error Correcting Code (ECC).
