a. t
is the minimum total cycle time, t

command recovery time or command inactive time. The actual cycle time equals the sum of the
actual command active time and the actual command inactive time. The three timing requirements of
t
, t
, and t
0
2
and t
equal to or greater than the value reported in the devices IDENTIFY DEVICE data. A device imple
mentation shall support any legal host implementation.
b. This parameter specifies the time from the negation edge of /IORD to the time that the data bus is no
longer driven by the device (tri-state).

Card Configuration
SanDisk CompactFlash Memory cards are identified by appropriate information in the Card
Information Structure (CIS). The configuration registers are used to coordinate the I/O spaces
and the interrupt level of cards that are located in the system.

is the minimum command active time, and t
