PCMCIA Flash Memory Card
FLA Series
PCMCIA Flash Memory Card
General Description
WEDC’s FLA Series Flash memory cards offer high density
linear Flash solid state storage solutions for code and data
storage, high performance disk emulation and execute in place
(XIP) applications in mobile PC and dedicated (embedded)
equipment.
FLA series cards conform to PCMCIA international standard.
The card’s control logic provides the system interface and
controls the internal Flash memories. Card can be
read/written in byte-wide or word-wide mode which allows
for flexible integration into various systems. Combined with
file management software, such as Flash Translation Layer
(FTL), FLA Flash cards provide removable high-performance
disk emulation.
The FLA series offers low power modes controlled by
registers. Standard cards contain separate 2kB EEPROM
memory for Card Information Structure (CIS) which can be
used for easy identification of card characteristics.
The WEDC FLA series is based on Intel/Sharp Flash
memories.
Note:
Standard options include attribute memory. Cards without
attribute memory are available. Cards are also available with or
without a hardware write protect switch.

Architecture Overview
WEDC’s FLA series is designed to support from 2 to 20, 4Mb, 8Mb or 16Mb components, providing a wide range
of density options. Cards are based on the 28F008SA (8Mb) for 12V VPP applications or on the 28F004S5 (4Mb),
28F008S5 (8Mb) and 28F016S5 (16Mb) devices for 5V only applications. Devices codes for the 28F004S5,
28F008SA, 28F008S5 and the 28F016S5 are: A7H, A2H, A6H and AAh respectively. Systems should be able to
recognize all four codes. Cards utilizing the 8Mb components provide densities ranging from 2MB to 20MB in 2MB
increments, cards utilizing 16Mb components provide densities ranging from 4MB to 40MB in 4MB increments. 4
Mbit memory devices are used only for smallest capacity cards (1MB).
In support of the PC Card 95 standard for word wide access devices are paired. Therefore, the Flash array is
structured in 64K word (128kBytes) blocks. Write, read and block erase operations can be performed as either a
word or byte wide operation . By multiplexing A0, CE1# and CE2#, 8-bit hosts can access all data on data lines
DQ0 - DQ7.
The FLA21-FLA36 series also supports the following PCMCIA compatible register functions: Soft Reset via the
Configuration Option Register, Power Down (sleep mode) via the Configuration and Status Register and
monitoring of Ready/Busy, Soft Reset and Power Down via the Card Status Register (cards without attribute
memory and versions FLA51 - FLA66 do not have registers).
The FLA series cards conform with the PC Card Standard (PCMCIA) and JEIDA, providing electrical and physical
compatibility. The PC Card form factor offers an industry standard pinout and mechanical outline, allowing density
upgrades without system design changes.
WEDC’s standard cards are shipped with WEDC’s Logo. Cards are also available with blank housings (no Logo).
The blank housings are available in both a recessed (for label) and flat housing. Please contact WEDC sales
representative for further information on Custom artwork.

Notes:
1. RDY/BSY signal is an “Open drain” type output, pull-up resistor on host side is required.
2. Wait#, BVD1 and BVD2 are driven high for compatibility.
3. Shows density for which specified address bit is MSB. Higher order address bits are no connects
(ie 4MB A21 is MSB A22 - A25 are NC).
4. NC - No Connection for FLA51 - FLA66.

Name and Function
ADDRESS INPUTS:
A0 through A25 enable direct addressing of up to
64MB of memory on the card. Signal A0 is not used in word access
mode. A25 is the most significant bit
DATA INPUT/OUTPUT:
DQ0 THROUGH DQ15 constitute the bi-
directional databus. DQ15 is the MSB.
CARD ENABLE 1 AND 2:
CE1# enables even byte accesses, CE2#
enables odd byte accesses. Multiplexing A0, CE1# and CE2# allows 8-
bit hosts to access all data on DQ0 - DQ7.
OUTPUT ENABLE:
Active low signal gating read data from the
memory card.
WRITE ENABLE:
Active low signal gating write data to the memory
card.
READY/BUSY OUTPUT:
Indicates status of internally timed erase or
program algorithms. A high output indicates that the card is ready to
accept accesses. A low output indicates that one or more devices in the
memory card are busy with internally timed erase or write activities.
CARD DETECT 1 and 2:
Provide card insertion detection. These
signals are internally connected to ground on the card. The host shall
monitor these signals to detect card insertion (pulled-up on host side).
WRITE PROTECT:
Write protect reflects the status of the Write Protect
switch on the memory card. WP set to high = write protected, providing
internal hardware write lockout to the Flash array.
If card does not include optional write protect switch, this signal will be
pulled low internally indicating write protect = "off".
PROGRAM/ERASE POWER SUPPLY:
Provides programming
voltages for card (12V). Not connected for 5V only card.
CARD POWER SUPPLY:
(5.0V).
CARD GROUND
ATTRIBUTE MEMORY SELECT :
Active low signal, enables access to
Attribute Memory Plane, occupied by Card Information Structure and
Card Registers.
RESET:
Active high signal for placing card in Power-on default state.
Reset can be used as a Power-Down signal for the memory array.
WAIT:
This signal is pulled high internally for compatibility. No wait
states are generated.
BATTERY VOLTAGE DETECT:
These signals are pulled high to
maintain SRAM card compatibility.
VOLTAGE SENSE:
Notifies the host socket of the card's VCC
requirements. VS1 and VS2 are open to indicate a 5V card .
RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE
NO INTERNAL CONNECTION TO CARD:
