General Description
STEC’s MACH2 CompactFlash (CF) card is an extremely high-performance,
multi-channel solution available in capacities from 128MB to 16GB using SLC
NAND flash. The standard CompactFlash interface provides designers with a
true plug-n-play storage device, allowing for short design cycles and fast time
to market, while the extreme performance enables hard disk drive
performance in a much smaller and more reliable design.
CompactFlash cards have quickly become the product of choice for
applications requiring high reliability and high tolerance to shock, vibration,
humidity, altitude, and temperature. Because the MACH2 CompactFlash uses
NAND flash technology (e.g. no moving parts), it is more reliable and has
much lower latency compared to a traditional hard disk drive and consumes far
less power (approximately 1 watt compared to 12 watts for a standard
7200rpm ATA disk drive). With its small footprint, high capacity, and rugged
design, the MACH2 CompactFlash is an ideal hard disk drive replacement or
alternate storage solution in space-constrained applications or those requiring
less capacity than available hard disk drives offer including blade servers and
embedded PCs.
STEC’s MACH2 CF Card is available in a CompactFlash Type I package and
adheres to the latest industry compliance and regulatory standards including
UL, FCC, RoHS, and the Compact Flash Association (CFA). Because the
MACH2 CF incorporates a proprietary state-of-the-art flash memory controller,
it provides the greatest flexibility to customer-specific applications while
supporting key flash management features resulting in the industry’s highest
reliability and endurance. Key features include:
 Full datapath protection with built-in 8-bit BCH ECC engine to detect and
correct up to 8-bit errors per 512 Bytes of data
 Sophisticated bad block management and wear leveling algorithms
dramatically enhance flash memory endurance
 Power-down data protection ensures data integrity in case of power loss
 Lifecycle management feature allows users to monitor the card's lifetime by
monitoring the card's remaining spare blocks
STEC’s MACH2 CF card offers the highest reliability and tolerance to shock,
vibration, humidity, altitude, ESD, and temperature. The rugged industrial
design combined with temperature testing and adherence to rigid JEDEC
JESD22 standards ensures flawless execution in the harshest environments.
In addition to custom hardware and firmware designs, STEC also offers value-
added services including:
 Custom labeling and packaging
 Custom software imaging and ID strings
 Full BOM control and product change notification
 Total supply-chain management to ensure continuity of supply
 In-field application engineering to help customers through product design-ins
