CompactFlash® is a very small removable mass storage device. First introduced
in 1994 by SanDisk Corporation, CF™ cards weigh a half ounce and are the size
of a matchbook. They provide complete PCMCIA-ATA functionality and compatibility
plus TrueIDE functionality compatible with ATA/ATAPI-4. At 43mm (1.7")
x 36mm (1.4") x 3.3mm (0.13"), the device's thickness is less than
one-half of a current PCMCIA Type II card. It is actually one-fourth the volume
of a PCMCIA card. Compared to a 68-pin PCMCIA card, a CF card has 50 pins but
still conforms to PCMCIA ATA specs. It can be easily slipped into a passive
68-pin Type II adapter card that fully meets PCMCIA electrical and mechanical
interface specifications.
CompactFlash cards are designed with flash technology, a non-volatile storage
solution that does not require a battery to retain data indefinitely. CompactFlash
storage products are solid state, meaning they contain no moving parts, and
provide users with much greater protection of their data than conventional magnetic
disk drives. They are five to ten times more rugged and reliable than disk drives
including those found in PC Card Type III products. CF cards consume only five
percent of the power required by small disk drives. CF cards are also available
for data storage using the Microdrive. CF I/O cards are available as modems,
Ethernet, serial, digital phone cards, laser scanners, BlueTooth wireless, 802.11b
WiFi LAN, etc.
- Dual 3.3V & 5V Operation – CF and CompactFlash cards support
both 3.3V and 5V operation and can be interchanged between 3.3V and 5V systems.
This means that any CF card can operate at either voltage. Other small form
factor flash cards may be available to operate at 3.3V or 5V, but any single
card can operate at only one of the voltages
- Connector – The connector used with CompactFlash is similar to the
PCMCIA Card connector, but with 50 pins. Years of field experience in portable
devices have proven the reliability and durability of this connector in applications
where frequent insertions and ejections of the card are required. Other small
form factor flash cards use connector technology that is not reliable or durable
in these applications .
- Shock – CF cards have an operating shock rating of 2,000 Gs, which
is equivalent to a 10-foot drop. With typical usage, a CF card can be used
for more than 100 years with no loss or deterioration of data.
- Power – Typically consuming less than five percent of the power than
that required to operate 1.8" and 2.5" disk drives, CF cards run
at 3.3V or 5V with a single power supply. This makes them ideal for a range
of current and next-generation, small-form factor consumer applications.
- Operating System Support – Numerous platforms and operation systems
support the PCMCIA-ATA standard, including Windows®, Windows XP, OS/2, Apple
System 7, most types of UNIX, and many others. These all also support CompactFlash,
CF disk drives and CF I/O cards..
- Data Reliability – CompactFlash data is protected by built-in dynamic
defect management and error correction technologies.
- Cost – CompactFlash provides the lowest cost flash storage solution
for all capacities. With the built-in controller, a wide variety of low cost
flash technologies can be used. The built-in controller lowers costs further
by reducing costs in the host device and allowing defective flash chip cells
to be mapped out, thus increasing flash chip yields.
When compatibility, interoperability, reliability, cost, and performance
count, CompactFlash, CF and CF/I/O cards are the PCMCIA, ATA-compatible solution
that delivers.
