Intel’s Series 2 Flash Memory Card facilitates high-performance disk emulation in mobile PCs and dedicated
equipment Manufactured with Intel’s ETOX^TM III 0 8m FlashFile Memory devices the Series 2 Card allows
code and data retention while erasing and or 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 2 1) Jap-
anese Electronics Industry Development Association (JEIDA 4 1) 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 configuration status information
