Note: 1) These signals are required only for 16 bit accesses and not required when installed in 8 bit systems. Devices should allow for 3-state

signals not to consume current.

2) The signal should be grounded by the host.

3) The signal should be tied to VCC by the host.

4) The mode is required for CompactFlash Storage Cards.

5) The -CSEL signal is ignored by the card in PC Card modes. However, because it is not pulled upon the card in these modes,
it should not be left floating by the host in PC Card modes. In these modes, the pin should be connected by the host to PC
Card A25 or grounded by the host.

6) If DMA operations are not used, the signal should be held high or tied to VCC by the host. For proper operation in older hosts: while DMA
operations are not active, the card shall ignore this signal,including a floating condition

7) Signal usage in True IDE Mode except when Ultra DMA mode protocol is active.

8) Signal usage in True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Write is active.

9) Signal usage in True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Read is active.

10) Signal usage in PC Card I/O and Memory Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Write is active.

11) Signal usage in PC Card I/O and Memory Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Read is active.

12) Signal usage in PC Card I/O and Memory Mode when Ultra DMA protocol is active.

This signal is the same as the PC Card Memory Mode signal.

In True IDE Mode, only A[02:00] are used to select the one of eight registers
in the Task File, the remaining address lines should be grounded by the host.

This signal is asserted low to alert the host to changes in the READY and Write
Protect states, while the I/O interface is configured. Its use is controlled by the
Card Config and Status Register.

In the True IDE Mode, this input / output is the Pass Diagnostic signal in the
Master / Slave handshake protocol.

This line is the Binary Audio output from the card. If the Card does not support
the Binary Audio function, this line should be held negated.

In the True IDE Mode, this input/output is the Disk Active/Slave Present signal in
the Master/Slave handshake protocol.

These input signals are used both to select the card and to indicate to the card
whether a byte or a word operation is being performed. -CE2 always accesses
the odd byte of the word.-CE1 accesses the even byte or the Odd byte of the
word depending on A0 and -CE2. A multiplexing scheme based on A0,-CE1,

-CE2 allows 8 bit hosts to access all data on D0-D7. See Table 27, Table 29,
Table 31, Table 35, Table 36 and Table 37.

This signal is the same as the PC Card Memory Mode signal.

In the True IDE Mode, -CS0 is the address range select for the task file
registers while -CS1 is used to select the Alternate Status Register and the
Device Control Register.

While –DMACK is asserted, -CS0 and –CS1 shall be held negated and the
width of the transfers shall be 16 bits.

O 43 This signal is not used in this mode.

The Input Acknowledge signal is asserted by the CompactFlash Storage Card
when the card is selected and responding to an I/O read cycle at the address that
is on the address bus. This signal is used by the host to control the enable of any
input data buffers between the CompactFlash Storage Card and the CPU.

Hosts that support a single socket per interface logic, such as for Advanced
Timing Modes and Ultra DMA operation may ignore the –INPACK signal from the
device and manage their input buffers based solely on Card Enable signals.

This signal is a DMA Request that is used for DMA data transfers between host
and device. It shall be asserted by the device when it is ready to transfer data to
or from the host. For Multiword DMA transfers, the direction of data transfer is
controlled by -HIOE and -IOWR. This signal is used in a handshake manner with
(-)DMACK, i.e., the device shall wait until the host asserts (-)DMACK before

the Drive-Head register.

While a DMA operation is in progress, -CS0 (-CE1)and -CS1 (-CE2) shall be held
negated and the width of the transfers shall be 16 bits.

If there is no hardware support for True IDE DMA mode in the host, this output
signal is not used and should not be connected at the host. In this case, the BIOS
must report that DMA mode is not supported by the host so that device drivers
will not attempt DMA mode operation.

A host that does not support DMA mode and implements both PC Card and True
IDE modes of operation need not alter the PC Card mode connections while in
True IDE mode as long as this does not prevent proper operation in any mode.

the I/O interface.

In True IDE Mode, while Ultra DMA mode is not active, this signal has the same
function as in PC Card I/O Mode.

In all modes when Ultra DMA mode DMA Read is active, this signal is asserted

This signal is not used in this mode.

The I/O Write strobe pulse is used to clock I/O data on the Card Data bus into the
CompactFlash Storage Card controller registers when the CompactFlash
Storage Card is configured to use the I/O interface.

The clocking shall occur on the negative to positive edge of the signal (trailing
edge).

In True IDE Mode, while Ultra DMA mode protocol is not active, this signal has
the same function as in PC Card I/O Mode. When Ultra DMA mode protocol is
supported, this signal must be negated before entering Ultra DMA mode
protocol.

In All Modes, while Ultra DMA mode protocol is active, the assertion of this signal
causes the termination of the Ultra DMA data burst.

This is an Output Enable strobe generated by the host interface. It is used to read
data from the CompactFlash Storage Card in Memory Mode and to read the CIS
and configuration registers.

In PC Card I/O Mode, this signal is used to read the CIS and configuration
registers.

To enable True IDE Mode this input should be grounded by the host.

In Memory Mode, this signal is set high when the CompactFlash Storage Card is
ready to accept a new data transfer operation and is held low when the card is
busy.

At power up and at Reset, the READY signal is held low (busy) until the
CompactFlash Storage Card has completed its power up or reset function. No
access of any type should be made to the CompactFlash Storage Card during
this time.

Note, however, that when a card is powered up and used with RESET
continuously disconnected or asserted, the Reset function of the RESET pin is
disabled. Consequently, the continuous assertion of RESET from the application
of power shall not cause the READY signal to remain continuously in the busy
state.

I/O Operation – After the CompactFlash Storage Card Card has been configured
for I/O operation, this signal is used as -Interrupt Request. This line is strobed
low to generate a pulse mode interrupt or held low for a level mode interrupt.

In True IDE Mode signal is the active high Interrupt Request to the host.

This signal is used during Memory Cycles to distinguish between Common
Memory and Register (Attribute) Memory accesses. High for Common Memory,
Low for Attribute Memory.

In PC Card Memory Mode, when Ultra DMA Protocol is supported by the host
and the host has enabled Ultra DMA protocol on the card the, host shall keep the

-REG signal negated during the execution of any DMA Command by the device.

The signal shall also be active (low) during I/O Cycles when the I/O address is on
the Bus.

In PC Card I/O Mode, when Ultra DMA Protocol is supported by the host and the
host has enabled Ultra DMA protocol on the card the, host shall keep the -REG
signal asserted during the execution of any DMA Command by the device.
This is a DMA Acknowledge signal that is asserted by the host in response to
(-)DMARQ to initiate DMA transfers.

In True IDE Mode, while DMA operations are not active, the card shall ignore the
(-)DMACK signal, including a floating condition.

If DMA operation is not supported by a True IDE Mode only host, this signal
should be driven high or connected to VCC by the host.

A host that does not support DMA mode and implements both PC Card and
True-IDE modes of operation need not alter the PC Card mode connections
while in True-IDE mode as long as this does not prevent proper operation all
modes.

Notes:1) –WAIT is not supported in this mode.

2) The maximum load on -WAIT is 1 LSTTL with 50 pF (40pF below 120nsec Cycle Time) total load. All times are in
nanoseconds. Dout signifies data provided by the CompactFlash Storage Card to the system. The -WAIT signal may be ignored
if the -OE cycle to cycle time is greater than the Wait Width time. The Max Wait Width time can be determined from the Card
Information Structure. The Wait Width time meets the PCMCIA PC Card specification of 12µs but is intentionally less in this
specification.
