Linear Flash PC Card – Series 5

MagicRAM’s Series 5 Linear Flash memory conform to the PCMCIA / JEIDA international standard and consist of multiple Intel’s 28F008S5 (or 28F016S5) or compatible Flash memory devices and decoder IC mounted on a very thin printed circuit board using surface mounting technology.

The Series 5 Flash memory card family maintains backwards-compatibility with the MagicRAM’s Series 2 Flash memory card family which consist of Intel’s 28F008SA Flash memory devices.

Key enhancements include : 1) smart voltage allows Vpp to be 5V or 12V, 12V option renders the faster block erase, program performance. 2) enhanced suspend capabilities. 3) in-system block locking. This series Flash memory cards contain 32 to 512 independent device blocks. Each block can be individually erasable.

To support PCMCIA-compatible byte-wide operation , the flash array is divided into 128K bytes per block.
To support PCMCIA-compatible word-wide operation , the devices are paired so that each accessible memory block is 64K words.

This series Flash memory cards offer portable , reprogrammable and nonvolatile solid-state storage media and can be used for flexible integration into various system platforms with PCMCIA/JEIDA interface.

With the extra and optional 8K bytes “attribute memory” space , the Card Information Structure (CIS) can be written into it by MagicRAM or by customer with standard format or customized requirements.
