PCMCIA Flash Memory Card
FLG Series
PCMCIA Flash Memory Card
General Description
256KILOBYTE through 5 MEGABYTE (Intel based)
Features
WEDC’s FLG Series Flash memory cards offer low/medium
density linear Flash solid state storage solutions for code and
data storage, high performance disk emulation and execute in
place (XIP) applications in mobile PC and dedicated
(embedded) equipment.
FLG series cards conform to PCMCIA international standard.
The card’s control logic provides the system interface and
controls the internal Flash memories. Card can be
read/written in byte-wide or word-wide mode which allows
for flexible integration into various systems. Combined with
file management software, such as Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), FLG Flash cards provide removable high-performance
disk emulation.
The FLG series cards contain separate 2kB EEPROM
memory for Card Information Structure (CIS) which can be
used for easy identification of card characteristics.
The WEDC FLG series is based on Intel 28F010 or 28F020
Flash memories.
Note: Standard options include attribute memory. Cards
without attribute memory are available. Cards are also
available with or without a hardware write protect switch.

PC Card Standard Type I Form Factor
Architecture Overview
WEDC’s FLG series is designed to support from 2 to 20, 1Mb or 2MB components, providing a wide range of
density options. Cards are based on the 28F010 (1Mb) or 28F020 components which work with 5V Vcc / 12V Vpp
applications. Device codes are
B4h
and
BDh
respectively. Systems should be able to recognize both codes. Cards
utilizing the1Mb components provide densities ranging from 256KB to 2.5MB in 256KB increments, cards utilizing
2Mb components provide densities ranging from 512KB to 5MB in 512KB increments.
In support of the PC Card 95 standard for word wide access devices are paired. Write, read and erase operations
can be performed as either a word or byte wide operation . By multiplexing A0, CE1# and CE2#, 8-bit hosts can
access all data on data lines DQ0 - DQ7. The FLG series cards conform to the PC Card Standard (PCMCIA) and
JEIDA, providing electrical and physical compatibility. The PC Card form factor offers an industry standard pinout
and mechanical outline, allowing density upgrades without system design changes.
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.

2) Shows density for which specified address bit is MSB. Higher order address bits are no connects (i.e. 4MB A21 is MSB A22 - A25 are NC).
3) For the 3MB card the memory will wrap at the 4MB boundary, for the 5MB card the memory will wrap at the 8MB boundary.

Name and Function
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.
The memory will wrap at the card density boundary (see PINOUT, note 3).
The system should not try to access memory beyond the card density.
A25 is the most significant bit. A23 – A25 are not connected.
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 gating 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. This signal is not connected.
CARD DETECT 1 and 2:
Provide card insertion detection. These signals
are internally connected to ground on the card. The host shall monitor
these signals to detect card insertion (pulled-up on host side).
WRITE PROTECT:
Write protect reflects the status of the Write Protect
switch on the memory card. WP set to high = write protected, providing
internal hardware write lockout to the Flash array.
If card does not include optional write protect switch, this signal will be
pulled low internally indicating write protect = "off".
PROGRAM/ERASE POWER SUPPLY:
Provides programming voltages
12.0V for lower byte (D0 – D7) memory components.
PROGRAM/ERASE POWER SUPPLY:
Provides programming voltages
12.0V for upper byte (D8 – D15) memory components.
CARD POWER SUPPLY:
(5.0V).
CARD GROUND
ATTRIBUTE MEMORY SELECT :
Active low signal, enables access to
Attribute Memory Plane, occupied by Card Information Structure and Card
Registers.
RESET:
Active high signal for placing cards in Power-on default state.
This signal is not connected.
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 card.
RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE
NO INTERNAL CONNECTION TO CARD:
pin may be driven or left
floating
