    In addition, these registers provide a method for accessing status information about the CompactFlash Card that may be used to arbitrate between multiple interrupt sources on the same interrupt level or to replace status information that appears on dedicated pins in memory cards that have alternate use in I/O cards.

  • Page 35: Attribute Memory Function

    NOTE: The location of the card configuration registers should always be read from the CIS since these locations may vary in future products. No writes should be performed to the CompactFlash Memory Card attribute memory except to the card configuration register addresses. All other attribute memory lo cations are reserved.

  • Page 36: Configuration Option Register (Address 200H In Attribute Memory)

    Soft Reset—Setting this bit to one (1), waiting the minimum reset width time and returning to zero (0) places the CompactFlash Memory Card in the Reset state. Setting this bit to one (1) is equivalent to assertion of the +RESET signal except that the SRESET bit is not cleared. Returning this bit to zero (0) leaves the CompactFlash Memory Card in the same un-configured, Reset state as following power-up and hardware reset.

  • Page 37: Card Configuration And Status Register (Address 202H In Attribute Memory)

    IOis8 The host sets this bit to a one (1) if the CompactFlash Memory Card is to be configured in an 8 bit I/O mode. The CompactFlash Card is always configured for both 8- and 16-bit I/O, so this bit is ignored.

  • Page 38: Socket And Copy Register

    CRdy/-Bsy. RWProt This bit is always zero (0) since the CompactFlash Memory Card does not have a Write Protect switch. When written, this bit acts as a mask for writing the corresponding bit CWProt.

  • Page 39: I/O Function

    3.5.1. I/O Function The I/O transfer to or from the CompactFlash Memory Card can be either 8 or 16 bits. When a 16-bit accessible port is addressed, the signal -IOIS16 is asserted by the CompactFlash Card. Otherwise, the -IOIS16 signal is de-asserted.

    00H, which indicates that R/W Multiple commands are not valid. The only other value returned by the CompactFlash Memory Card in the even byte is a 01H value, which indicates that 1 sector per interrupt, can be transferred in R/W Multiple mode.

  • Page 57: Idle-97H, E3H

    Feature (1) This command causes the CompactFlash Memory Card to set BSY, enter the Idle (Read) mode, clear BSY and generate an interrupt. If the sector count is non-zero, it is interpreted as a timer count with each count being 5 milliseconds and the automatic power down mode is enabled.

  • Page 58: Initialize Drive Parameters-91H

    NOTE: SanDisk recommends NOT using this command in any system because DOS determines the offset to the Boot Record based on the number of heads and sectors per track. If a CompactFlash Memory Card is “Formatted” with one head and sector per track value, the same CompactFlash Card will not operate correctly with DOS configured with another heads and sectors per track value.

  • Page 59: Read Multiple-C4H

    Sector Count Feature (1) NOTE: The current revision of the CompactFlash Memory Card only supports a block count of 1 as indicated in the Identify Drive Information command. This command is provided for compatibility with future products that may support a larger block count.

  • Page 60: Read Long Sector-22H, 23H

    The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number Register. When this command is issued and after each sector of data (except the last one) has been read by the host, the CompactFlash Memory Card sets BSY, puts the sector of data in the buffer, sets DRQ, clears BSY, and generates an interrupt.

  • Page 61: Read Verify Sector(S)-40H, 41H

  • Page 63: Seek-7Xh

    This command is used by the host to establish or select certain features. Table 5-22 defines all features that are supported. Please note that the 9AH feature is unique to the CompactFlash Memory Card and are not part of the ATA Specification.

  • Page 64: Set Multiple Mode-C6H

    Where “nnn” is a valid mode number in binary, “x” is the mode number in decimal for the associated transfer type, and “d” is ignored. Features 55H and BBH are the default features for the CompactFlash Memory Card; thus, the host does not have to issue this command with these features unless it is necessary for compatibility reasons.

  • Page 65: Set Sleep Mode- 99H, E6H

    Sec Cnt (2) Feature (1) This command causes the CompactFlash Memory Card to set BSY, enter the Sleep mode, clear BSY and generate an interrupt. Recovery from sleep mode is accomplished by simply issuing another command (a reset is permitted but not required).

  • Page 66: Standby Immediate-94H, E0H

    Sec Cnt (2) Feature (1) This command causes the CompactFlash Memory Card to set BSY, enter the Sleep mode (which corresponds to the ATA “Standby” Mode), clear BSY and return the interrupt immediately. Recovery from sleep mode is accomplished by simply issuing another command (a reset is not required).

  • Page 67: Wear Level-F5H

    Feature (1) This command is effectively a NOP command and only implemented for backward compatibility with earlier SanDisk SDP series products. The Sector Count Register will always be returned with an 00H indicating Wear Level is not needed. 5.1.24. Write Buffer—E8H Table 5-30.
