The CompactFlash standard was developed in 1994 by SanDisk.
It uses the same flash technology as
the ATA Flash PC Cards.
With CF Cards, data is transferred using
the ATA protocol over 50 pins instead of 68 pins as in
the PC Cards.
The dimensions of CompactFlash Cards
Type I offered by us are 36.4 x 42.8 x 3.3 mm.
Microdrive mini hard disks and some older high-capacity flash
cards have a CF Card Type II form
factor with
a greater thickness (overall height of 5.0 instead of 3.3 mm).
CompactFlash Cards are used in
a wide range of devices.
In industry they are used e.g. in mobile
measuring equipment, industrial PCs, single board computers, as
on board memory expansion or in PLCs.
In the commercial sector they are used
in Pocket PCs, PDAs, MP3 players, digital dictating machines and
in a large number of digital (SLR) cameras.
A PC Card
adapter allows CompactFlash Cards to be used in
any PC Card Type II slot, such as that found in nearly
all notebook PCs and all
altec PC Card
drives. |
