PCMCIA Flash Memory Card
FVF Series
FVF Value Series Flash Memory Card
General Description
The FVF Value Series Flash memory cards offer a low cost
linear Flash solid state storage solution for code and data
storage, high performance disk emulation, mobile PC and
embedded applications.
FVF series cards offer memory capacities from 4MB to
64MB, with 128kB block erase size.
The WEDC Value series is based on Intel MLC, Strata Flash
memories. Cards are based on the two families of memory
components:
FVF0x
built with: 28F640J5, 28F320J5
FVF1x
built with: 28F128J3, 28F640J3, 28F320J3
These flash devices support the Common Flash Interface
(CFI) programming algorithm, a standard that allows system
level software to evaluate the flash configuration, electrical
characteristic, programming parameters and supported
functions. CFI is intended to support future upgrades with
universal programming algorithms, so there is no longer a
need for continued programming software modification and
updates. Systems should be able to recognize and support all
devices to allow universal expansion/upgrade path.
The symmetrically blocked architecture and single supply
(5V for FVF0x and universal 3.3V or 5V for FVF1x cards)
operation provides a cost effective, high performance,
nonvolatile storage solution. The PC Card form factor offers
an industry standard pinout and mechanical outline, allowing
density upgrades without system design changes.
The Value series is designed as a simple x16 linear array of
Flash devices. One Flash device provides the lower and
upper bytes for the 16 bit access. Other modes of operation
are also supported (See Functional Truth Table on page 5)
WEDC’s standard Value Series Flash Card is shipped with
no attribute memory or CIS (Card Information Structure)
information. An option for 2KB of attribute memory with
CIS information is available. The CIS for the WEDC Value
series may also be stored in Block 0 (even bytes, D0 - D7
only) of the Flash memory. This option is available by
request only.
WEDC’s standard cards are shipped with WEDC’s Logo.
Cards are also available with blank housings (no Logo). The
blank housings are available in both a recessed (for label)
and flat housing. Please contact WEDC sales representative
for further information on Custom artwork.

For information regarding modes of operation, commands, and programming
details for the memory components, please consult the Intel 28F128J3A,
28F640J5 data sheets.
Writing commands to the CUI enables reading of device data, query, identifier codes, inspection and clearing of the
status register, and, when V

, block erasure, program, and lock-bit configuration.
The Block Erase command requires appropriate command data and an address within the block to be erased. The
Byte/Word Program command requires the command and address of the location to be written. Set Block Lock-Bit
commands require the command and block within the device to be locked. The Clear Block Lock-Bits command
requires the command and address within the device.
The CUI does not occupy an addressable memory location. It is written when the device is enabled and WE# is
active. The address and data needed to execute a command are latched on the rising edge of WE# or the first edge
of CE1# or CE2# that disables the card. Standard microprocessor write timings are used.

Card Signal Description
Symbol
A0 - A25
Type
INPUT
Name and Function
ADDRESS INPUTS:
A0 through A25 enable direct addressing of up to 64MB of
memory on the card. Signal A0 is used only in 8 bit configuration (CE1# active
CE2# not active). A0 is disregarded in 16 bit operation (CE1# and CE2# active).
The system should not try to access memory beyond the card density because the
card will return undefined data. (The upper addresses are decoded).
DATA INPUT/OUTPUT:
DQ0 THROUGH DQ15 constitute the bi-directional
databus. DQ0 - DQ7 constitute the lower (even) byte and DQ8 - DQ15 the upper
(odd) byte. DQ15 is the MSB.
CARD ENABLE 1 AND 2:
CE1# enables even byte accesses, CE2# enables odd
byte accesses. (See below the Functional Truth Table).
OUTPUT ENABLE:
Active low signal enabling read data from the memory card.
WRITE ENABLE:
Active low signal gating write data to the memory card.
READY/BUSY OUTPUT:
Indicates status of internally timed erase or program
algorithms. A high output indicates that the card is ready to accept accesses.
CARD DETECT 1 and 2:
Provide card insertion detection. These signals are
connected to ground internally on the memory card. The host socket interface
circuitry shall supply 10K-ohm or larger pull-up resistors on these signal pins.
WRITE PROTECT:
This signal is pulled low internally. This signifies write
protect = "off " for all cases.
PROGRAM/ERASE POWER SUPPLY:
Not connected for 5V only card.
CARD POWER SUPPLY:
(5.0V for FVF0x or 3V to 5V for FVF1x)
GROUND:
ATTRIBUTE MEMORY SELECT:
connected only on cards built with optional
attribute memory. (see Note 1)
RESET:
Active high signal for placing card in Power-on default state.
WAIT:
This signal is pulled high internally for compatibility. No wait states are
generated.
BATTERY VOLTAGE DETECT:
These signals are pulled high to maintain
SRAM card compatibility.
VOLTAGE SENSE:
Notifies the host socket of the card's VCC requirements. VS1
and VS2 are open to indicate a 5V; VS1=GND and VS2 open indicate possibility
to work in 3.3V systems.
RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE
NO INTERNAL CONNECTION TO CARD:
pin may be driven or left floating

Notes:
1. For standard cards without Attribute memory this signal is not connected:
X – don’t care
2. Operation in Shaded row not supported: Accessing memory in this mode may alter data in lower byte
For proper operation signals CE1# and CE2# should be connected together (for 16 bit operation) or signal
CE2# should be always in High state (for 8bit operation)
3. Switching between byte access mode (8 bit) and word access mode (16 bit) requires a 1ms setup time.
