PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SST’s CompactFlash (CF) card is an ultra-small, low cost,
high performance, removable flash memory data storage
system. This technology is well suited for solid state mass
storage portable applications offering new and expanded
functionality while enabling smaller and lighter designs.
CFA standards. The SST CF card is read and written to
using a single power supply of 5.0V or 3.3V and is available
in 8 to 256 MByte densities.
SST’s CompactFlash cards contain additional attribute
memory of 256 Bytes for storing the Card Information
Structure (CIS) information. SST’s CompactFlash card has
built in microcontroller and file management firmware that
communicates with ATA standard interfaces; therefore, the
SST’s CompactFlash cards do not require additional soft-
ware for the host, such as Flash File System (FFS) and
Memory Technology Driver (MTD).
CompactFlash technology is widely used in a variety of
consumer products such as portable computers, digital
cameras, handheld data collection scanners, Personal
Digital Assistants (PDAs), handy terminals, audio players,
monitoring devices and set-top boxes.
SST’s CompactFlash products provide complete PCMCIA-
ATA functionality and compatibility. This is achieved
because the 50-pin CF card can be easily slipped into a
passive 68-pin Type II adapter card that fully meets PCM-
CIA electrical and mechanical interface specifications.
SST’s CompactFlash products are also fully compliant with
