SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual Introduction Documentation can be ordered from IHS by calling 1-800-854-7179 or accessing their Web site: http://global.ihs.com. 1.7 Functional Description CompactFlash Memory cards contain a high level, intelligent subsystem as shown in the block diagram, Figure 1-1. This intelligent (microprocessor) subsystem provides many capabilities not found in other types of memory cards.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual 1.7.5 Introduction Automatic Sleep Mode A unique feature of the SanDisk CompactFlash Memory Card is automatic entrance and exit from sleep mode. Upon completion of a command, the card will enter sleep mode to conserve power if no further commands are received within 5 msec. The host does not have to take any action for this to occur. In most systems, the CompactFlash Memory Card is in sleep mode except when the host is accessing it, thus conserving power.

SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual 3 3.1 Interface Description Interface Description Physical Description The host connects to SanDisk CompactFlash Memory cards using a standard 50-pin connector consisting of two rows of 25 female contacts each on 50 mil (1.27 mm) centers. 3.1.1 Pin Assignments and Types The signal/pin assignments are listed in Table 3-1. Low active signals have a "-" prefix. Pin types are Input, Output or Input/Output. Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual Interface Description PC Card I/O Pin Assignments are contained in Table 3-2. Table 3-2 PC Card I/O Mode Pin Assignments Pin No. Signal Name 1 GND 2 D03 3 4 Pin Type Pin No.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual Interface Description True IDE Mode Pin Assigments are contained in Table 3-3. Table 3-3 True IDE Mode Pin Assignments Pin No. Signal Name Pin Type Pin No.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual 3.2 Interface Description Electrical Description The CompactFlash Memory Card Series is optimized for operation with hosts, which support the PCMCIA I/O interface standard conforming to the PC Card ATA specification. However, the card may also be configured to operate in systems that support only the memory interface standard.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual Signal Name Interface Description Dir. Pin -CD1, -CD2 (True IDE Mode) -CE1, -CE2 (PC Card Memory Mode) Card Enable Description This signal is the same for all modes. I 7,32 These input signals are used both to select the card and to indicate to the card whether a byte or a word operation is being performed. -CE2 always accesses the odd byte of the word. -CE1 accesses the even byte or the Odd byte of the word depending on A0 and -CE2.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual Signal Name Interface Description Dir. Pin -INPACK (PC Card I/O Mode except Ultra DMA Protocol Active) Input Acknowledge Description The Input Acknowledge signal is asserted by the CompactFlash Storage Card or CF+ Card when the card is selected and responding to an I/O read cycle at the address that is on the address bus.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual Signal Name Interface Description Dir. Pin Description -HDMARDY (All Modes - Ultra DMA Protocol DMA Read) In all modes when Ultra DMA mode DMA Read is active, this signal is asserted by the host to indicate that the host is ready to receive Ultra DMA data-in bursts. The host may negate –HDMARDY to pause an Ultra DMA transfer.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual Signal Name READY (PC Card Memory Mode) Interface Description Dir. O Pin 37 Description In Memory Mode, this signal is set high when the CompactFlash Storage Card or CF+ Card is ready to accept a new data transfer operation and is held low when the card is busy. At power up and at Reset, the READY signal is held low (busy) until the CompactFlash Storage Card or CF+ Card has completed its power up or reset function.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual Signal Name RESET (PC Card Memory Mode) Interface Description Dir. I Pin 41 Description The CompactFlash Storage Card or CF+ Card is Reset when the RESET pin is high with the following important exception: The host may leave the RESET pin open or keep it continually high from the application of power without causing a continuous Reset of the card. Under either of these conditions, the card shall emerge from power-up having completed an initial Reset.
SanDisk CompactFlash Card OEM Product Manual Signal Name Interface Description Dir. Pin DSTROBE (All Modes – Ultra DMA Read Protocol Active) -WE (PC Card Memory Mode) Description In all modes, when Ultra DMA mode DMA Read is active, this signal is the data in strobe generated by the device. Both the rising and falling edge of DSTROBE cause data to be latched by the host. The device may stop generating DSTROBE edges to pause an Ultra DMA data in burst.
