The Intel
5 Volt Series 200 Flash Memory Cards deliver the benefits of Intel
StrataFlash memory to
users of portable electronic systems. Intel StrataFlash memory benefits include: more density in less space,
lowest cost-per-bit NOR devices, support for code and data storage, and easy migration to future devices.
Providing 2X the bits in 1X the space, Intel StrataFlash memory devices are the first to bring reliable, two-bit-
per-cell storage technology to the flash memory market.
Using the same NOR-based ETOX technology as Intel’s one-bit-per-cell products, Intel StrataFlash
memory
devices take advantage of 400 million units of manufacturing experience since 1988. Manufactured
on Intel’s 0.4 micron ETOX V process technology, Intel StrataFlash memory provides the highest levels of
quality and reliability. As a result, Intel StrataFlash components are ideal for code or data applications where
high density and low cost are required. Examples include networking, telecommunications, audio recording,
and digital imaging.
Intel StrataFlash memory components provide a new generation of forward-compatible software support built
upon the Intel
FlashFile memory architecture. By using the Common Flash Interface (CFI) and the
Scaleable Command Set (SCS), customers can take advantage of density upgrades and optimized write
capabilities of future Intel StrataFlash memory devices.
5 Volt Value Series 200 Flash Memory Cards, based on the PCMCIA PC Card Specification, employ Intel
StrataFlash components to provide the ultimate in convenient, low-cost data storage for users of portable
electronics systems. The flash memory card provides the lowest cost, highest performance nonvolatile
read/write solution for solid-state storage applications. These applications are enhanced further with the
product’s symmetrically-blocked architecture, extended MTBF, and 5 Volt operation. Card memory is
organized as a x16 linear array of flash memory devices. Host-based filing system software, such as Flash
Translation Layer (FTL) eliminates the need for expensive card-based microcontrollers and ASICs.
The cards offer the PC Card industry-standard pinout in the most compact PC Card form factor (Type 1), a
removable linear flash memory medium, the ability to upgrade system memory software without board layout
changes, and compatibility over a wide range of MS-DOS* and Windows* 95-based PCs systems.
