Chapter 1 Introduction

This section provides a functional description of the PRV-1220.

Functional Description

PRV-1220 is a low-cost, CompactFlash® to IDE adapter flexibly designed with both 40-pin (0.10") and 44-pin
(2mm) IDE connectors. Fully compatible with Type I and Type II cards, the adapter enables both solid-state
CompactFlash and IBM® Microdrive® media to be used as a bootable IDE (ATA) disk drive in any computer
with an IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) interface. The product features power and activity LED indicators, a
master/slave selection jumper, four mounting holes, and front panel mounting brackets.

Transparent to the operating system (OS), the CFII-IDE does not require any device drivers to work with DOS®,
Windows®, Linux®, and any other PC-based operating systems. A CompactFlash card appears as a small IDE
hard disk drive to the BIOS and OS. The product’s small size and versatile design make it an ideal solution for
embedded systems requiring reliable, removable Flash memory storage. Compa ct Flash provi des a robust, low­current, low-operating temperature, and highly reliable storage solution for embedded computing applications.
Formerly known as the CFII-IDE.

Features

• Bootable: Can be used as a boot device

• Master/Slave: Jumper Configurable

• CompactFlash Socket: for Type I and II Cards

• Mounting Holes: for Flush Mount or L-Bracket Installation

• IDE Support: Connectors for both 40- a nd 44-Pin IDE Cabling

• Power Interface: for 40-pin IDE

• LED Indicators: Activity and Power

• Software: No Drivers required; Compati ble with Windows, Linux, QNX systems with IDE

Chapter 2 Quick Start-up

This section describes the installation of the PRV-1220.

Installation

Board Mounting

There are four holes, one on each corner of the board, to aid in mounting the board. The board can also be
mounted with the two provided L-brackets.

Setup

The CompactFlash device can be set as either master or slave using JP1. If the board is connected to a 40-pin
IDE cable, then +5V needs to be supplied to J3. The power and activity LEDs can be externally connected
through J5. See the Connection and Configuration sections of this manual for more information.

Attaching Media

Ensure that power is not being applied to the CFII-IDE board before inserting a CompactFlash card. Failure to
do so may damage both the CompactFlash card and the CFII-IDE board. Slide either a Type I or Type II
CompactFlash card into J2. Finally attach either a 44 or 40-pin IDE ribbon cable to J1 or J4 respectively. Attach
the other end to an external IDE controller. Be sure that no power is being applied to the external IDE controller.
