PC Card Standard Type I Form Factor
The WEDC
SEA
SRAM Series memory cards offer
a high performance nonvolatile storage solution for
code and data storage, disk caching, and write
intensive mobile and embedded applications.
Packaged in PCMCIA type I housing the WEDC
SRAM SEA series is based on 1 or 4Mbit SRAM
memories, providing densities from 128 Kbytes to
512 Kbytes.
The SEA series of SRAM memory cards requires a
5V power supply and operates at speeds to 150ns.
The cards are based on advanced CMOS technology
providing very low power and reliable data retention
characteristics. WEDC’s SRAM cards contain a
rechargeable lithium battery and recharge circuitry,
eliminating the need for replaceable batteries found
in many SRAM cards.
WEDC’s standard cards are shipped with WEDC’s
SRAM 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.
