Memory cards Stec

MACH 2+ CF 128MB Single Sector The STEC™ MACH2™ Compact Flash Card is an extremely high-performance, multi-channel solution available in capacities from 64MB to 16GB using SLC NAND flash. The standard compact flash card interface provides designers with a true plug-n-play storage device, allowing for short design cycles and fast time to market, while the extreme performance enables hard disk drive performance in a much smaller and more reliable design.

Compact flash cards have quickly become the product of choice for applications requiring high reliability and high tolerance to shock, vibration, humidity, altitude, and temperature. Because the MACH2 compact flash card uses NAND flash technology (e.g. no moving parts), it is more reliable and has much lower latency compared to a traditional hard disk drive and consumes far less power (approximately 1 watt compared to 12 watts for a standard 7200rpm ATA disk drive). With its small footprint, high capacity, and rugged design, the MACH2 compact flash card is an ideal hard disk drive replacement or alternate storage solution in space-constrained applications or those requiring less capacity than available hard disk drives offer including blade servers and embedded PCs.

The MACH2 compact flash card is available in a Type I package and adheres to the latest industry compliance and regulatory standards including UL, FCC, RoHS, and the Compact Flash Association (CFA). Because the MACH2 compact flash card incorporates a proprietary state-of-the-art flash memory controller, it provides the greatest flexibility to customer-specific applications while supporting key flash management features resulting in the industry’s highest reliability and endurance.

Key features include:
- Full datapath protection with built-in 8-bit BCH ECC engine to detect and correct up to 8-bit errors per 512 Bytes of data.
- Sophisticated bad block management and wear leveling algorithms dramatically enhance flash memory endurance.
- Power-down data protection ensures data integrity in case of power loss.
- Lifecycle management feature allows users to monitor the card's lifetime by monitoring the card's remaining spare blocks.
The MACH2 compact flash card offers the highest reliability and tolerance to shock, vibration, humidity, altitude, ESD, and temperature. The rugged industrial design combined with temperature testing and adherence to rigid JEDEC JESD22 standards ensures flawless execution in the harshest environments. In addition to custom hardware and firmware designs, STEC also offers value-added services including:
- Custom labeling and packaging.
- Custom software imaging and ID strings.
- Full BOM control and product change notification.
- Total supply-chain management to ensure continuity of supply.
- In-field application engineering to help customers through product design-ins.
