1. General Description
Apacer’s ATA CF offers reliable and high performance storage compatible with CF Type I and Type II
devices. Unlike the ordinary cards, Apacer ATA CF provides solid compatibilities for use in Point of Sale
(POS) terminals, telecom, IP-STB, medical instruments, surveillance systems, industrial PCs and
handheld applications.
With featuring technologies as wear leveling, S.M.A.R.T, built-in hardware ECC, flash block management,
and power failure management, the ATA CF is the ideal embedded storage for mission oriented
applications.
2. Functional Block
The ATA CF includes a controller and flash media, as well as the ATA CF standard interface. Figure 2-1
shows the functional block diagram.
