Its aim is to capture, retain and transport data, audio and images, facilitating the transfer of all types of digital information between a large variety of digital systems. The card operates in three basic modes, ● ● ● PCMCIA I/O mode PCMCIA memory mode True IDE mode It conforms to the PC card specification when operating in the PCMCIA I/O mode and PCMCIA memory mode (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association standard, JEIDA in Japan) and to the ATA specification when operating in True IDE mode. CompactFlash cards can be used with passive adapters in a PC-card type II or type III socket. The card has an internal intelligent controller which manages interface protocols, data storage and retrieval as well as error correcting code (ECC), defect handling, diagnostics and clock control. Once the card has been configured by the host, it behaves as a standard ATA (IDE) disk drive. The card has a super cap on VCC and a powerful power-loss management feature to prevent data corruption after power-down. The specification has been realized and approved by the CompactFlash association (CFA). This non-proprietary specification enables users to develop CF products that function correctly and are compatible with future CF design. The system highlights are shown in Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7.

The signal/pin assignments are listed in Table 8 where Low active signals have a ‘–’ prefix. Pin types are Input, Output or Input/Output. The configuration of the card is controlled using the standard PCMCIA Configuration registers starting at address 200h in the attribute memory space of the memory card. For True IDE mode, pin 9 is grounded. Table 9 describes the I/O signals. Inputs are signals sourced from the host while outputs are signals sourced from the card. The signals are described for each of the three operating modes. All outputs from the card are totem pole except the data bus signals that are bi-directional tri-state.

The maximum load on -IOCS16 is 1 LSTTL with a 50 pF total load. 2. t0 is the minimum total cycle time, t2 is the minimum command active time, and t2i is the minimum 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 t0, t2, and t2i have to be met. The minimum total cycle time requirement is greater than the sum of t2 and t2i. This means a host implementation can lengthen either or both t2 or t2i to ensure that t0 is equal to or greater than the value reported in the device's identify drive data. A CompactFlash memory card implementation should support any legal host implementation. 3. This parameter specifies the time from the falling edge of -IORD to the moment when the data bus is no longer driven by the CompactFlash memory card (tri-state). 4. t7 and t8 apply only to modes 0, 1 and 2. This signal is not valid for other modes. 29/82 Card configuration SMCxxxAF 6 Card configuration The CompactFlash memory card is identified by information in the card information structure (CIS). The card has four Configuration registers (Table 23 and Table 24). ● ● ● ● Configuration Option register Pin Replacement register Card Configuration and Status register Socket and Copy register They are used to coordinate the I/O spaces and the Interrupt level of cards that are located in the system. In addition, in I/O Card mode these registers provide a method for accessing status information that would normally appear on dedicated pins in Memory Card mode. The location of the Card Configuration registers should always be read from the CIS.These registers cannot be used in True IDE mode.

When the Changed bit is set, –STSCHG (pin 46) is held Low and if the SigChg bit is ‘1’ the card is configured for the I/O interface. 6.2.2 SigChg This bit is set and reset by the host to enable and disable a state-change signal from the Status register (issued on Status Changed pin 46). If no state change signal is desired, this bit should be set ‘0’ and pin 46 (–STSCHG) will be held High while the card is configured for I/O. 6.2.3 IOis8 The host sets this bit to ‘1’ if the card is to be configured in 8 bit I/O mode. The card is always configured for both 8 and 16 bit I/O, so this bit is ignored. 6.2.4 PwrDwn This bit indicates whether the card is in the power saving mode or active mode. When the PwrDwn bit is set to ‘1’, the card enters power-down mode. When set to ‘0’, the card enters active mode. The READY value on Pin Replacement register becomes BUSY when this bit is changed. READY will not become Ready until the power state requested has been entered. The card automatically powers down when it is idle and powers back up when it receives a command. 6.2.5 Int This bit represents the internal state of the interrupt request. It is available whether or not the I/O interface has been configured. It remains valid until the condition which caused the interrupt request has been serviced. If interrupts are disabled by the –IEN bit in the Device Control register, this bit is ‘0’. Table 27.

See Table 28 and Table 29. 6.3.1 CReady This bit is set to ‘1’ when the bit RReady changes state. This bit can also be written by the host. 6.3.2 CWProt This bit is set to '1' when the bit RWProt changes state. This bit can also be written by the host. 6.3.3 RReady This bit is used to determine the internal state of the Ready signal. In I/O mode it is used as an interrupt request. When written, this bit acts as a mask (MReady) for writing the corresponding bit CReady. 6.3.4 WProt This bit is always ‘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 CWProt bit. 6.3.5 MReady This bit acts as a mask for writing the corresponding CReady bit. 6.3.6 MWProt This bit when written acts as a mask for writing the corresponding CWProt bit.

The Card Configuration registers are also located here, the base address of the configuration registers is 200h. For the attribute memory Read function, signals –REG and –OE must be active and –WE inactive during the cycle. As in the main memory read functions, the signals –CE1 and –CE2 control the even and odd byte address, but only the even byte data is valid during the attribute memory access. Refer to Table 31 for signal states and bus validity. Table 31.

When a 16 bit accessible port is addressed, the –IOIS16 signal is asserted by the card, otherwise it is de-asserted. When a 16 bit transfer is attempted, and the –IOIS16 signal is not asserted, the system must generate a pair of 8 bit references to access the word’s even and odd bytes. The card permits both 8 and 16 bit accesses to all of its I/O addresses, so –IOIS16 is asserted for all addresses (see Table 32). Table 32.

It is configured in this mode only when the –OE signal is grounded by the host during the power-off to power-on cycle. In this True IDE mode the PCMCIA protocol and configuration are disabled and only I/O operations to the task file and data register are allowed. No memory or attribute registers are accessible to the host. The Set Feature command can be used to put the device in 8 bit mode (see Table 34). Removing and reinserting the card while the host computer’s power is on will reconfigure the card to PC Card ATA mode. Table 34.

Memory space. Communication to or from the card is done using the Task File registers which provide all the necessary registers for control and status information. The PCMCIA interface connects peripherals to the host using four-register mapping methods. Table 35 is a detailed description of these methods: Table 35. I/O configurations Standards configurations Config index 0 1 2 3 I/O or memory Memory I/O I/O I/O Address 0h-Fh, 400h-7FFh xx0h-xxFh 1F0-1F7h, 3F6h-3F7h 170-177h, 376h-377h Description Memory mapped I/O mapped 16 continuous registers Primary I/O mapped Secondary I/O mapped 7.2 Memory mapped addressing (conf = 0) When the card registers are accessed via memory references, the registers appear in the common memory space window: 0-2 Kbytes as shown in Table 36. This window accesses the Data register FIFO. It does not allow random access to the data buffer within the card. Register 0 is accessed with –CE1 and –CE2 Low, as a word register on the combined Odd and Even Data Bus (D15 to D0). It can also be accessed with –CE1 Low and –CE2 High, by a pair of byte accesses to offset 0. The address space of this word register overlaps the address space of the error and feature bytewide registers at offset 1. When accessed twice as byte register with –CE1 Low, the first byte is the even byte of the word and the second is the odd byte. A byte access to address 0 with –CE1 High and –CE2 Low accesses the error (read) or feature (write) register. Registers at offset 8, 9 and D are non-overlapping duplicates of the registers at offset 0 and 1. Register 8 is equivalent to register 0, while register 9 accesses the odd byte. Therefore, if the registers are byte accessed in the order 9 then 8 the data will be transferred odd byte then even byte. Repeated byte accesses to register 8 or 0 will access consecutive (even then odd) bytes from the data buffer. Repeated word accesses to register 8, 9 or 0 will access consecutive words from the data buffer, however repeated byte accesses to register 9 are not supported. Repeated alternating byte accesses to registers 8 then 9 will access consecutive (even then odd) bytes from the data buffer. 39/82 Software interface SMCxxxAF Accesses to even addresses between 400h and 7FFh access register 8. Accesses to odd addresses between 400h and 7FFh access register 9. This 1 Kbyte memory window to the data register is provided so that hosts can perform memory-to-memory block moves to the data register when the register lies in memory space. Some hosts, such as the X86 processors, must increment both the source and destination addresses when executing the memory-to-memory block move instruction. Some PCMCIA socket adapters also have an embedded auto incrementing address logic. A word access to address at offset 8 will provide even data on the least significant byte of the data bus, along with odd data at offset 9 on the most significant byte of the data bus.

As for the memory mapped addressing, register 0 is accessed with –CE1 Low and –CE2 Low (and A0 Don’t care) as a word register on the combined odd and even data bus (D15 to D0). This register may also be accessed with –CE1 Low and –CE2 High, by a pair of byte accesses to offset 0. The address space of this word register overlaps the address space of the error and feature bytewide registers at offset 1. When accessed twice as byte register with –CE1 Low, the first byte is the even byte of the word and the second is the odd byte. A byte access to register 0 with –CE1 High and –CE2 Low accesses the error (read) or feature (write) register. Registers at offset 8, 9 and D are non-overlapping duplicates of the registers at offset 0 and 1. Register 8 is equivalent to register 0, while register 9 accesses the odd byte. Therefore, if the registers are byte accessed in the order 9 then 8 the data will be transferred odd byte then even byte. Repeated byte accesses to register 8 or 0 will access consecutive (even than odd) bytes from the data buffer. Repeated word accesses to register 8, 9 or 0 will access consecutive words from the data buffer, however repeated byte accesses to register 9 are not supported. Repeated alternating byte accesses to registers 8 then 9 will access consecutive (even then odd) bytes from the data buffer.

These registers are collectively referred to as the ‘task file’. 8.1 Data register (address 1F0h [170h]; offset 0, 8, 9) The data register is a 16-bit register used to transfer data blocks between the card data buffer and the host. This register overlaps the error register. Table 40 describes the combinations of data register access and explains the overlapped data and error/feature registers. Because of the overlapped registers, access to the 1F1h, 171h or offset 1 are not defined for word (–CE2 and –CE1 set to ‘0’) operations, and are treated as accesses to the word data register. The duplicated registers at offsets 8, 9 and Dh have no restrictions on the operations that can be performed. Table 40.

It is accessed on data bits D15 to D8 during a write operation to offset 0 with –CE2 Low and – CE1 High. 8.4 Sector Count register (address 1F2h [172h]; offset 2) This register contains the number of sectors of data to be transferred on a read or write operation between the host and card. If the value in this register is zero, a count of 256 sectors is specified. If the command was successful, this register is zero at completion. If not successfully completed, the register contains the number of sectors that need to be transferred in order to complete the request.

Reading the status register clears a pending interrupt. Reading the auxiliary status register does not clear a pending interrupt. The status register should be accessed in Byte mode; in Word mode it is recommended that alternate status register is used. The status bits are described as follows 8.9.1 Bit 7 (BUSY) The busy bit is set when only the card can access the command register and buffer. The host is denied access. No other bits in this register are valid when this bit is set to ‘1’. 8.9.2 Bit 6 (RDY) This bit indicates whether the device is capable of performing CompactFlash memory card operations. This bit is cleared at power-up and remains cleared until the card is ready to accept a command. 8.9.3 Bit 5 (DWF) When set this bit indicates a write fault has occurred. 8.9.4 Bit 4 (DSC) This bit is set when the card is ready. 8.9.5 Bit 3 (DRQ) The data request is set when the card requires information be transferred either to or from the host through the data register. The bit is cleared by the next command. 8.9.6 Bit 2 (CORR) This bit is set when a correctable data error has been encountered and the data has been corrected. This condition does not terminate a multi-sector read operation. 8.9.7 Bit 1 (IDX) This bit is always set to ‘0’. 8.9.8 Bit 0 (ERR) This bit is set when the previous command has ended in some type of error. The bits in the error register contain additional information describing the error. In case of read or write access commands that end with an error, the address of the first sector with an error is in the command block registers. This bit is cleared by the next command. 48/82 SMCxxxAF Table 43.

This register can be written even if the device is BUSY. The bits are defined as follows: 8.10.1 Bit 7 to 3 Don’t care. The host should reset this bit to ‘0’. 8.10.2 Bit 2 (SW Rst) This bit is set to ‘1’ in order to force the CompactFlash storage card to perform an AT Disk controller Soft Reset operation. This clears status register and writes diagnostic code in error register after a write or read sector error. The card remains in reset until this bit is reset to ‘0.’ 8.10.3 Bit 1 (–IEn) When the Interrupt Enable bit is set to ‘0’, –IREQ interrupts are enabled. When the bit is set to ‘1’, interrupts from the card are disabled. This bit also controls the Int bit in the card configuration and status register. It is set to ‘0’ at power-on. 8.10.4 Bit 0 This bit is set to ‘0’. Table 44.

It is recommended that this register is not mapped into the host’s I/O space because of potential conflicts on bit 7. The bits are defined as follows: 8.11.1 Bit 7 This bit is Don’t care. 8.11.2 Bit 6 (–WTG) This bit is ‘0’ when a write operation is in progress, otherwise, it is ‘1’. 8.11.3 Bit 5 (–HS3) This bit is the negation of bit 3 in the drive/head register. 8.11.4 Bit 4 (–HS2) This bit is the negation of bit 2 in the drive/head register. 8.11.5 Bit 3 (–HS1) This bit is the negation of bit 1 in the drive/head register. 8.11.6 Bit 2 (–HS0) This bit is the negation of bit 0 in the drive/head register. 8.11.7 Bit 1 (–nDS1) This bit is ‘0’ when drive 1 is active and selected. 8.11.8 Bit 0 (–nDS0) This bit is ‘0’ when the drive 0 is active and selected.

Commands are issued to the card by loading the required registers in the command block with the supplied parameters, and then writing the command code to the command register. There are three classes of command acceptance, all dependent on the host not issuing commands unless the card is not busy (BSY is ‘0’). ● ● Class 1. Upon receipt of a class 1 command, the card sets BSY within 400 ns. Class 2. Upon receipt of a class 2 command, the card sets BSY within 400 ns, sets up the sector buffer for a write operation, sets DRQ within 700 µs, and clears BSY within 400 ns of setting DRQ. Class 3. Upon receipt of a class 3 command, the card sets BSY within 400 ns, sets up the sector buffer for a write operation, sets DRQ within 20 ms (assuming no reassignments), and clears BSY within 400 ns of setting DRQ. ● For reasons of backward compatibility some commands are implemented as ‘no operation’ NOP. Table 46 summarizes the CF-ATA command set with the paragraphs that follow describing the individual commands and the task file for each. Table 46.

Issuing the command while the card is in Standby mode, is about to enter Standby, or is exiting Standby, the command will set BSY, set the Sector Count register to 00h, clear BSY and generate an interrupt. Issuing the command when the card is in Idle mode will set BSY, set the Sector Count register to FFh, clear BSY and generate an interrupt.

In PCMCIA configuration, this command only runs on the card which is addressed by the drive/head register when the command is issued. This is because PCMCIA card interface does not allow for direct inter-drive communication. In True IDE mode, the Drive bit is ignored and the diagnostic command is executed by both the master and the slave with the master responding with the status for both devices.

Interrupts are not generated on every sector, but on the transfer of a block which contains the number of sectors defined by a Set Multiple command. Command execution is identical to the Read Sectors operation except that the number of sectors defined by a Set Multiple command are transferred without intervening interrupts. DRQ qualification of the transfer is required only at the start of the data block, not on each sector. The block count of sectors to be transferred without intervening interrupts is programmed by the Set Multiple mode command, which must be executed prior to the Read Multiple command. When the Read Multiple command is issued, the Sector Count register contains the number of sectors (not the number of blocks or the block count) requested. If the number of requested sectors is not evenly divisible by the block count, as many full blocks as possible are transferred, followed by a final, partial block transfer. The partial block transfer is for n sectors, where: n = (sector count) module (block count). If the Read Multiple command is attempted before the Set Multiple mode command has been executed or when Read Multiple commands are disabled, the Read Multiple operation is rejected with an aborted command error. Disk errors encountered during Read Multiple commands are posted at the beginning of the block or partial block transfer, but DRQ is still set and the data transfer will take place as it normally would, including transfer of corrupted data, if any. Interrupts are generated when DRQ is set at the beginning of each block or partial block. The error reporting is the same as that on a Read Sector(s) command. This command reads from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the Sector Count register. A sector count of 0 requests 256 sectors. The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number register. If an error occurs, the read terminates at the sector where the error occurred. The Command Block registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The flawed data is pending in the sector buffer. Subsequent blocks or partial blocks are transferred only if the error was a correctable data error. All other errors cause the command to stop after transfer of the block which contained the error.

A sector count of 0 requests 256 sectors. 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 card sets BSY, puts the sector of data in the buffer, sets DRQ, clears BSY, and generates an interrupt. The host then reads the 512 bytes of data from the buffer. If an error occurs, the read terminates at the sector where the error occurred. The Command Block registers contain the cylinder, head, and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The flawed data is pending in the sector buffer.

When the command is accepted, the card sets BSY. When the requested sectors have been verified, the card clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If an error occurs, the verify terminates at the sector where the error occurs. The Command Block registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The Sector Count register contains the number of sectors not yet verified. Table 60 defines the Read Verify Sector command byte sequence. 62/82 SMCxxxAF Table 60.

Table 65 shows the Set Features command byte sequence. Table 66 defines all features that are supported. Features 01h and 81h are used to enable and clear 8 bit data transfer modes in True IDE mode. If the 01h Feature command is issued all data transfers will occur on the low order D7D0 data bus and the –IOIS16 signal will not be asserted for data register accesses. Feature 03h allows the host to select the PIO transfer mode by specifying a value in the Sector Count register (see Table 67 for values). The upper 5 bits define the type of transfer and the low order 3 bits encode the mode value. One PIO mode should be selected at all times. The host may change the selected mode by issuing the Set Features command. Feature code 9Ah enables the host to configure the card to best meet the host system's power requirements. The host sets a value in the Sector Count register that is equal to onefourth of the desired maximum average current (in mA) that the card should consume. For example, if the Sector Count register were set to 6, the card would be configured to provide the best possible performance without exceeding 24 mA. Upon completion of the command, the card responds to the host with the range of values supported by the card. The minimum value is set in the Cylinder Low register, and the maximum value is set in the Cylinder Hi register. The default value, after a power on reset, is to operate at the highest performance and therefore the highest current mode. The card will accept values outside this programmable range, but will operate at either the lowest power or highest performance as appropriate. 65/82 CF-ATA command description Table 65.

The Sector Count register is loaded with the number of sectors per block. Upon receipt of the command, the card sets BSY and checks the Sector Count register. If the Sector Count register contains a valid value and the block count is supported, the value is loaded for all subsequent Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands and execution is enabled. If a block count is not supported, an aborted command error is posted, and Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands are disabled. If the Sector Count register contains ‘0’ when the command is issued, Read and Write Multiple commands are disabled. At power-on the default mode is Read and Write Multiple disabled, unless it is disabled by a Set Feature command. Table 68 defines the Set Multiple Mode command byte sequence. Table 68.

Recovery from sleep mode is accomplished by simply issuing another command. Sleep mode is also entered when internal timers expire so the host does not need to issue this command except when it wishes to enter Sleep mode immediately. The default value for the timer is 5 milliseconds. Note that this time base (5 ms) is different from the ATA specification. Table 69 defines the Set Sleep mode command byte sequence. Table 69.

The controller responds with a 512-byte buffer of information containing the desired cylinder, head and sector, including its logical address, and the hot count, if available, for that sector. Table 72 defines the Translate Sector command byte sequence. Table 73 represents the information in the buffer. Table 72.

The Sector Count register will always be returned with a 00h indicating Wear Level is not needed. Table 74 defines the Wear Level command byte sequence. Table 74.

This command has the same protocol as the Write Sector(s) command and transfers 512 bytes. Table 75 defines the Write Buffer command byte sequence. Table 75. Bit Command (7) C/D/H (6) Cyl High (5) Cyl Low (4) Sect Num (3) Sect Cnt (2) Feature (1) X Drive X X X X X Write Buffer 7 6 5 4 E8h X 3 2 1 0 70/82 SMCxxxAF CF-ATA command description 9.24 Write Multiple command (C5h) This command is similar to the Write Sectors command. The card sets BSY within 400 ns of accepting the command. Interrupts are not presented on each sector but on the transfer of a block which contains the number of sectors defined by Set Multiple. Command execution is identical to the Write Sectors operation except that the number of sectors defined by the Set Multiple command is transferred without intervening interrupts. DRQ qualification of the transfer is required only at the start of the data block, not on each sector. The block count of sectors to be transferred without intervening interrupts is programmed by the Set Multiple Mode command, which must be executed prior to the Write Multiple command. When the Write Multiple command is issued, the Sector Count register contains the number of sectors (not the number of blocks or the block count) requested. If the number of requested sectors is not evenly divisible by the sector/block, as many full blocks as possible are transferred, followed by a final, partial block transfer. The partial block transfer is for n sectors, where: n = (sector count) module (block count). If the Write Multiple command is attempted before the Set Multiple Mode command has been executed or when Write Multiple commands are disabled, the Write Multiple operation will be rejected with an aborted command error. Errors encountered during Write Multiple commands are posted after the attempted writes of the block or partial block transferred. The Write command ends with the sector in error, even if it is in the middle of a block. Subsequent blocks are not transferred in the event of an error. Interrupts are generated when DRQ is set at the beginning of each block or partial block. The Command Block registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the sector where the error occurred and the Sector Count register contains the residual number of sectors that need to be transferred for successful completion of the command. For example, each block has 4 sectors, a request for 8 sectors is issued and an error occurs on the third sector. The Sector Count register contains 6 and the address is that of the third sector. Note: The current revision of the CompactFlash memory card only supports a block count of 1 as indicated in the Identify Drive command information. The Write Multiple command is provided for compatibility with future products which may support a larger block count. Table 76 defines the Write Multiple command byte sequence. Table 76.

The sectors should be pre-erased with the Erase Sector(s) command before this command is issued. Table 77 defines the Write Multiple without Erase command byte sequence. Table 77. Bit Command (7) C/D/H (6) Cyl High (5) Cyl Low (4) Sect Num (3) Sect Cnt (2) Feature (1) X LBA 1 Write Multiple without Erase 7 6 5 4 CDh Driv e Cylinder High Cylinder Low Sector Number Sector Count X Head 3 2 1 0 9.26 Write Sector(s) command (30h or 31h) This command writes from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the Sector Count register. A sector count of zero requests 256 sectors. The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number register. When this command is accepted, the Card sets BSY, sets DRQ and clears BSY, then waits for the host to fill the sector buffer with the data to be written. No interrupt is generated to start the first host transfer operation. No data should be transferred by the host until BSY has been cleared by the host. For multiple sectors, after the first sector of data is in the buffer, BSY will be set and DRQ will be cleared. After the next buffer is ready for data, BSY is cleared, DRQ is set and an interrupt is generated. When the final sector of data is transferred, BSY is set and DRQ is cleared. It will remain in this state until the command is completed at which time BSY is cleared and an interrupt is generated. If an error occurs during a write of more than one sector, writing terminates at the sector where the error occurred. The Command Block registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The host may then read the command block to determine what error has occurred, and on which sector. Table 78 defines the Write Sector(s) command byte sequence. Table 78.

This command has the same protocol as the Write Sector(s) command. The sectors should be pre-erased with the Erase Sector(s) command before this command is issued. If the sector is not pre-erased a normal write sector operation will occur. Table 79 defines the Write Sector(s) without Erase command byte sequence. Table 79.
