Intel’s Series 2 Flash Memory Card facilitates high-performance disk emulation in mobile PCs and dedicated

code and data retention while erasing andor 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 comput-

ers and systems

Series 2 Cards conform to the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA 21)Jap-

anese Electronics Industry Development Association (JEIDA 41) 68-pin standard providing electrical and

physical compatibility

Data file management software Flash Translation Layer (FTL) provides data file storage and memory man-

agement much like a disk operating system Intel’s Series 2 Flash Memory Cards coupled with flash file

management software effectively provide a removable all-silicon mass storage solution with higher perform-

ance and reliability than disk-based memory architectures

Designing with Intel’s FlashFile 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 configurationstatus information
