CompactFlash Cards suit high-performance, embedded systems.
September 22, 2009 -
Dual-channel CompactFlash cards, available in 5 storage sizes from 1-16 GB, tolerate shock, vibration, humidity, altitude up to 80,000 ft, and temperatures from -40 to +85°C. Ultra DMA burst transfer rate is 66 Mbps to and from card, while sustained sequential writes are 16 Mbps and reads are 37 Mbps. Unit features 32-bit RISC controller with error checking and flash management utilities. Flash memory power-down logic/write protection prevents data corruption during power loss.

WinSystems' Industrial CompactFlash Cards Triple Their Speed
September 10, 2009, Arlington, Texas - WinSystems today introduces their new line of dual channel CompactFlash (CF) cards designed for speed, durability, and extended temperature operation. They are perfect for high-performance, embedded systems applications requiring high reliability and high tolerance to shock, vibration, humidity, and altitude, plus -40° to +85°C temperature operation. These Type 1 devices are well suited for rugged and mission-critical applications including medical, transportation, industrial, communications, military/aerospace, security and surveillance. Five storage sizes are available from 1GB to 16GB.
The ultra DMA burst transfer rate is 66MB/s to and from the CF card. Sustained sequential Writes are 16MB/s and Reads are 37 MB/s. These faster card-to-computer transfer rates dramatically reduce the time needed to store or retrieve digital data from non volatile memory. The brains of the memory module is a 32-bit RISC controller which has a dual channel direct flash access link to NAND-type single-level-cell (SLC) flash memory devices. This architecture enables fast data transfers compliant with PIO mode 6, MDMA mode 4, and UDMA mode 4 in True-IDE mode. The controller employs a variety of sophisticated error checking and flash management utilities allowing for levels of reliability and endurance in excess of the physical NAND Flash.
Patented static and dynamic wear-leveling methods ensure even wear of flash blocks across the entire card. Background operations track erase counts, prioritize new writes to blocks with lower wear, and relocate static data to blocks with higher wear. Bad-block management routines replace worn blocks with spare blocks reserved by the controller on card initialization. Error Correcting Code (ECC) algorithms capable of detecting and correcting up to 4 bytes per 512 byte sector are implemented on-the-fly without performance degradation to safeguard data reliability through user data transfers and background wear-leveling operations. Flash memory power-down logic and Write protection is included to prevent data corruption during power loss by completing the last Write after power loss to the device.
The CompactFlash cards will operate from -40° to +85° Centigrade up to an altitude of 80,000 feet. They can withstand up to 2000Gs of shock and 16.3G (rms) of vibration.
These RoHS-compliant CF cards support a dual 3.3V/5V interface for system flexibility and will work with single board computers, instruments, cameras or any other manufacturer's computer that has a CF socket. They require very little power and will enter an automatic power down during wait periods.
