GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The WEDC SRAM Series (SRA) memory cards offer a
high performance nonvolatile storage solution for code
and data storage, disk caching, and write intensive mobile
and embedded applications.
Packaged in PCMCIA type I or type II housing (type II
for cards with extended battery backup time), the WEDC
SRAM SRA series is based on 1 or 4Mbit SRAM memories,
providing densities from 256 Kilobytes to 8 Megabytes.
The SRA series of SRAM memory cards requires a 5V
power supply and operates at speeds to 150ns. The cards
are based on advanced CMOS technology providing very
low power and reliable data retention characteristics.
WEDC’s SRAM cards contain a rechargeable lithium
battery and recharge circuitry, eliminating the need for
replaceable batteries found in many SRAM cards.
WEDC’s standard cards are shipped with WEDC’s SRAM
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.

2. Shows density for which specified address bit is MSB. Higher order address bits are
no connects (i.e., 1MB A19 is MSB, A20 - A21 are NC).
3. BVD1 is an open drain output with a 10K ohm internal pull-up resistor.
4. Address bit 22 is used for the 8MB cards as well as the 6MB Cards.

CARD SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
Symbol
A0 - A25
Type
INPUT
Name and Function
SRA01-SRA04
ADDRESS INPUTS:
A0 through A25 enable direct addressing of up to 64MB of memory on the card. Signal A0 is not
used in word access mode. A25 is the most significant bit. (address pins used are based on card density,see pinout
for highest used address pin)
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. Multiplexing A0,
CE1# and CE2# allows 8-bit hosts to access all data on DQ0 - DQ7.
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:
Not used for SRAM cards
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:
Follows hardware Write Protect Switch. When Switch is placed in on position, signal is pulled high
(10K ohm). When switch is off signal is pulled low.
PROGRAM/ERASE POWER SUPPLY:
Not used for SRAM cards.
CARD POWER SUPPLY:
5.0V for all internal circuitry.
GROUND:
for all internal circuitry.

ATTRIBUTE MEMORY SELECT:

WAIT:
This signal is pulled high internally for compatibility. No wait states are generated.
BATTERY VOLTAGE DETECT:
Provides status of Battery voltage.
BVD2 = BVD1 = V
OH
(battery voltage is guaranteed to retain data)
BVD2 = V
OL
, BVD1 = Voh (data is valid, battery recharge required)
BVD2 = BVD1 = V

(data may no longer be valid, battery requires extended recharge)
VOLTAGE SENSE:
Notifies the host socket of the card’s VCC requirements. VS1 and VS2 are open to indicate a 5V,
16 bit card has been inserted.
