The Intel
Series 2 Flash Memory Card facilitates high-performance disk emulation in mobile PCs and
dedicated equipment. Manufactured with Intel
ETOX III 0.8μ and Intel
FlashFile memory devices, the
Series 2 Card allows code and data retention while erasing and/or writing other blocks. Additionally, the
Series 2 Flash Memory Card features low power modes, flexible system interfacing and a 150 ns read access
time. When coupled with Intel’s low-power microprocessors, these cards enable high-performance
implementations of mobile computers and systems.
Series 2 Cards conform to the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA
2.1)/Japanese Electronics Industry Development Association (JEIDA 4.1) 68-pin standard, providing electrical
and physical compatibility.
Data file management software, Flash Translation Layer (FTL), provides data file storage and memory
management, much like a disk operating system. Intel Series 2 Flash Memory Cards, coupled with flash file
management software, effectively provide a removable, all-silicon mass storage solution with higher
performance and reliability than disk-based memory architectures.
Designing with Intel FlashFile memory architecture enables OEM system manufacturers to design and
manufacture a new generation of mobile PCs and dedicated equipment where high performance,
ruggedness, long battery life and lighter weight are a requirement. For large user groups in workstation
environments, the Series 2 Cards provide a means to securely store user data and backup system
configuration/status information.
