General Description

STEC’s MACH4 CompactFlash (CF) card is an extremely high

-

performance,

multi

-

channel solution

available in capacities from

8

GB to 16GB

using SLC

NAND flash and 8GB to

3

2GB using MLC NAND flash

. The standard

CompactFlash interface provides designers with a true plug

device, allowing for short design cycles and fast time to market, while the

extreme performance enables hard disk drive performance in a much s

maller

and more reliable design.

CompactFlash cards have quickly become the product of choice for

applications requiring high reliability and high tolerance to shock, vibration,

humidity, altitude, and temperature. Because the MACH4 CompactFlash uses

NAND

flash technology (e.g. no moving parts), it is more reliable and has

much lower latency compared to a traditional hard disk drive and consumes far

less power (approximately 1 watt compared to 12 watts for a standard

7200rpm ATA disk drive). With its small

footprint, high capacity, and

throughput up to

90

megabytes per second*, the MACH4 CompactFlash is an

ideal hard disk drive replacement or alternate storage solution in space

-

constrained applications or those requiring less capacity than available hard

dis

k drives offer including blade servers and embedded PCs.

STEC’s MACH4 CF Card is available in a CompactFlash Type I package

and

adheres to the latest industry compliance and regulatory standards including

UL, FCC, RoHS, and the Compact Flash Association (C

FA). Because the

MACH 4 CF incorporates a proprietary sta

it that provides the greatest flexibility to customer

-

specific applications while

supporting key flash management features resulting in the industry’s highest

reliability and endurance. Key features include:

.

-

bit BCH ECC engine to detect and

correct up to 8

-

bit errors per 512 Bytes of data

.

Sophisticated

data integrity in case of power loss

.

Lifecycle management feature allows users to monitor

the card's lifetime by

monitoring the card's remaining spare blocks

STEC’s MACH 4 CF card offers the highest reliability and tolerance to shock ,

vibration, humidity,

altitude, ESD, and temperature. The rugged industrial

design combined with temperature testing and adherence to rigid JEDEC

JESD22 standards ensures flawless execution in the harshest environments.

In addition to custom hardware and firmware designs, STEC

also offers value
