More Functions to extend product life
1. Global Wear Leveling – Advanced algorithm to enhance the Wear-Leveling Efficiency
There are 3 main processes in global wear leveling approaches:
(1) Record the block erase count and save in the wear-leveling table.
(2) Find the static-block and save it in wear-leveling pointer.
(3) Check the erase count when the block popped from spare pool. If the
block erase count is bigger
than WEARCNT, then swapped the static-block and over-count-block.
After actual test, global wear leveling successfully even the erase
count of every block; hence, it can
extend the life expectancy of Flash product.
2. StaticDataRefresh Technology – Keeping Data Healthy
There are many variants that would disturb the charge inside a Flash cell. These variants can be:
read operations, undesired charge, heat, etc; each variant would create a charge loss,
shift in their charge levels slightly. In our everyday usage –
more than 60% are repeated read operations,
the accumulated charge loss would eventually result in the data loss.
Normally, ECC engine corrections are taken place without affecting the host normal
time passes by, the number of error bits accumulated in the read transaction
capability of the ECC engine, resulting in corrupted data being sent to the host.
To prevent this, Transcend’s CF200I monitor the error bit levels at each read
reaches the preset threshold value, the controller automatically performs
data refresh to “restore” the
correct charge levels in the cell. This implementation practically restores the data to its original, error-fr
state, and hence, lengthening the life of the data.
3. EarlyRetirement – Avoiding Data Loss Due to Weak Block
The StaticDataRefresh feature functions well when the cells in a block are still healthy. As
ages over time, it cannot store charge reliably anymore, EarlyRetirement enters the scene.
EarlyRetirement works by moving the static data to another block (a health block) before
used block becomes completely incapable of holding charges for data. W hen the charge loss error leve
exceeds another threshold value (higher from that for
StaticDataRefresh), the controller automatically
moves its data to another block. In addition,
the original block is then marked as a bad block, which
prevents its further use, and thus the block enters the state of “EarlyRetirement.”
process, the incorrect data are detected and effectively corrected by
the ECC engine, thus the data in the
new block is stored error-free.

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.

These input signals are used both to select the card and to
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.

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
any input data buffers between the CompactFlash Storage Card and the CPU.
This signal is a DMA Request that is used for DMA data
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 -IORD and -IOWR. This signal is used in a
-DMACK, i.e., the device shall wait until the host asserts -DMACK before
negating DMARQ, and reasserting DMARQ if there is more data to transfer.
DMARQ shall not be driven when the device is not selected.
While a DMA operation is in progress, -CS0 and –CS1 shall be held negated
and the width of the transfers shall be 16 bits.
If there is no hardware support for DMA mode in the host, this
used and should not be connected at the host. In this case,
that DMA mode is not supported by the host so that device drivers will not
attempt DMA mode.
A host that does not support DMA mode and implements both PCMCIA and
True-IDE modes of operation need not alter the PCMCIA mode connections
while in True-IDE mode as long as
this does not prevent proper operation in any
mode.

In True IDE Mode, while Ultra DMA mode is not active, this
function as in PC Card I/O Mode.
In True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode DMA Read is active, this signal is
asserted by the host to indicate that the host is read to receive Ultra DMA data-
bursts. The host may negate -HDMARDY to pause an Ultra DMA transfer.
In True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode DMA Write is active,
data out strobe generated by the host. Both the rising and falling edge of
HSTROBE cause data to be latched by the device. The host may stop
generating HSTROBE edges to pause an Ultra DMA data-out burst.

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 True IDE Mode, while Ultra DMA mode protocol is active, the
signal causes the termination of the Ultra DMA 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.

Notes: 1) Control Signals: each card shall present a load to the socket no larger than 50 pF
10
at a DC current of 700
μ
A
low state and 150
μ
A high state, including pull-resistor. The socket shall be able to drive at least the following
load
10
while meeting all AC timing requirements: (the number of sockets wired in parallel) multiplied by (50 pF
with DC current 700
μ
A low state and 150
μ
A high state per socket).
2) Resistor is optional.
3) Status Signals: the socket shall present a load to the card no larger than 50 pF
10
at a DC current of 400
μ
A low
state and 100
μ
A high state, including pull-up resistor. The card shall be able to drive at least the following load
10
while meeting all AC timing requirements: 50 pF at a DC current of 400
μ
A low state and 100
μ
A high state.
4) Status Signals: the socket shall present a load to the card no larger than 50 pF
10
at a DC current of 400
μ
A low
state and 100
μ
A high state, including pull-up resistor. The card shall be able to drive at least the following load
10
while meeting all AC timing requirements: 50 pF at a DC current of 400
μ
A low state and 100
μ
A high state.
5) Status Signals: the socket shall present a load to the card no larger than 50 pF
10
at a DC current of 400
μ
A low
state and 100
μ
A high state, including pull-up resistor. The card shall be able to drive at least the following load
10
while meeting all AC timing requirements: 50 pF at a DC current of 400
μ
A low state and 1100
μ
A high state.
6) BVD2 was not defined in the JEIDA 3.0 release. Systems fully supporting JEIDA release 3 SRAM cards shall
pull-up pin 45 (BVD2) to avoid sensing their batteries as “Low.”
7) Address Signals: each card shall present a load of no more than 100pF
10
at a DC current of 450
μ
A low state and
150
μ
A high state. The host shall be able to drive at least the following load
10
while meeting all AC timing
requirements: (the number of sockets wired in parallel) multiplied by (100pF with DC current 450
μ
A low state
and 150
μ
A high state per socket).
8) Data Signals: the host and each card shall present a load no larger than 50pF
10
at a DC current of 450
μ
A and
150
μ
A high state. The host and each card shall be able to drive at least the following load
10
while meeting all
AC timing requirements: 100pF with DC current 1.6mA low state and 300
μ
A high state. This permits the host to
wire two sockets in parallel without derating the card access speeds.
9) Reset Signal: This signal is pulled up to prevent the input from floating when a CFA to PCMCIA adapter is used
in a PCMCIA revision 1 host. However, to minimize DC current drain through the pull-up resistor in normal
operation the pull-up should be turned off once the Reset signal has been actively driven low by the host.
Consequently, the input is specified as an I2Z because the resistor is not necessarily detectable in the input
current leakage test.
10) Host and card restrictions for CF Advanced Timing Modes and Ultra DMA modes: Additional Requirements for
CF Advanced Timing Modes and Ultra DMA Electrical Requirements for additional required limitations on the
implementation of CF Advanced Timing modes and Ultra DMA modes respectively.
Additional Requirements for CF Advanced Timing Modes
The CF Advanced Timing modes include PCMCIA I/O and Memory modes that are 100ns or faster and True
IDE PIO Modes 5,6 and Multiword DMA Modes 3,4.
When operating in CF Advanced timing modes, the host shall conform to the following requirements:
1) Only one CF device shall be attached to the CF Bus.
2) The host shall not present a load of more than 40pF to the device for all signals, including any cabling.
3) The maximum cable length is 0.15 m (6 in). The cable length is measured from the card connector to the host
controller. 0.46 m (18 in) cables are not supported.
4) The -WAIT and IORDY signals shall be ignored by the host.
Devices supporting CF Advanced timing modes shall also support slower timing modes, to ensure operability with
systems that do not support CF Advanced timing modes

Ultra DMA Electrical Requirements
Host and Card signal capacitance limits for Ultra DMA operation
The host interface signal capacitance at the host connector shall be a maximum of 25 pF for each signal as measured at
1 MHz. The card interface signal capacitance at the card connector shall be a maximum of 20 pF for each signal as
measured at 1 MHz.
Series termination required for Ultra DMA operation
Series termination resistors are required at both the host and the card for operation in any of the Ultra DMA modes. Table
13 describes typical values for series termination at the host and the device.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Trace Requirements for Ultra DMA
On any PCB for a host or device supporting Ultra DMA:
The longest D[15:00] trace shall be no more than 0.5" longer than either STROBE trace as measured from the
IC pin to the connector.
The shortest D[15:00] trace shall be no more than 0.5" shorter than either STROBE trace as measured from
the IC pin to the connector.
Ultra DMA Mode Cabling Requirement
Operation in Ultra DMA mode requires a crosstalk suppressing cable. The cable shall have a grounded line
between each signal line.
For True IDE mode operation using a cable with IDE (ATA) type 40 pin connectors it is recommended that the
host sense the cable type using the method described in the ANSI INCITS 361-2002 AT Attachment - 6
standard, to prevent use of Ultra DMA with a 40 conductor cable.
