PCMCIA Flash Memory Card
SRA Series
SRAM Memory Card
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
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 :
only used with cards built with
optional attribute memory.
RESET:
Not used for SRAM cards
WAIT:
This signal is pulled high internally for compatibility. No wait
states are generated.
BATTERY VOLTAGE DETECT:
Provides status of Battery
voltage.
BVD2 = BVD1 = Voh (battery voltage is guaranteed to retain data)
BVD2 = Vol, BVD1 = Voh (data is valid, battery recharge required)
BVD2 = BVD1 = Vol (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.
RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE
NO INTERNAL CONNECTION TO CARD:
pin may be driven
or left floating

less than 20ns.
(2) Stress greater than those listed under
“Absolute Maximum ratings” may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a
stress rating only and functional operation at
these or any other conditions greater than those
indicated in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for

6. Exceptions: Leakage currents on CE1#, CE2#, OE#, REG# and WE# will be < 500 µA when VIN = GND due to
internal pull-up resistors.
