Type
Name and Function
A0 - A25
INPUT
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
DQ0 - DQ15
INPUT/OUTPUT
DATA INPUT/OUTPUT: DQ0 THROUGH DQ15 constitute the bi-
directional databus. DQ15 is the MSB.
CE1#, CE2#
INPUT
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.
OE#
INPUT
OUTPUT ENABLE: Active low signal gating read data from the
memory card.
WE#
INPUT
WRITE ENABLE: Active low signal gating write data to the memory
card.
RDY/BSY#
OUTPUT
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.
CD1#, CD2#
OUTPUT
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).
WP
OUTPUT
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".
VPP1, VPP2
N.C.
PROGRAM/ERASE POWER SUPPLY: Provides programming
voltages for card (12V). Not connected for 5V only card.
VCC
CARD POWER SUPPLY: (5.0V).
GND
CARD GROUND
REG#
INPUT
ATTRIBUTE MEMORY SELECT : Active low signal, enables access to
Attribute Memory Plane, occupied by Card Information Structure and
Card Registers.
RST
INPUT
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#
OUTPUT
WAIT: This signal is pulled high internally for compatibility. No wait
states are generated.
BVD1, BVD2
OUTPUT
BATTERY VOLTAGE DETECT: These signals are pulled high to
maintain SRAM card compatibility.
VS1, VS2
OUTPUT
VOLTAGE SENSE: Notifies the host socket of the card's VCC
requirements. VS1 and VS2 are open to indicate a 5V card .
RFU
RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE
N.C.
NO INTERNAL CONNECTION TO CARD: pin may be driven or left
floating
