GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Miniature Card is an expansion card that provides a high-performance, small form factor solution for data and file storage to the portable, handheld market, which includes audio, digital film, wireless, and PDA (Portable Digital Assistant) applications. The Miniature Card provides a low cost, low power, high performance interface for memory cards.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS
■ 2, 4, or 8 Mbytes of addressable Flash memory
■ 5.0 Volt-only, single power supply operation
   — Write and read voltage: 5.0 V ± 10%
   — No additional supply current required for VPP
■ Fast access time
   — 100 or 150 ns access time
■ CMOS low power consumption
   — Typical active read current: 70 mA (word mode)
   — Typical active erase/write current:
   100 mA (word mode)
   — Typical standby current: 10 µA (8 Mbyte card)
■ High write endurance
   — Guaranteed minimum 100,000 write/erase cycles per card
   — More than 1,000,000 cycles per card typical
■ Uniform sector architecture
   — 64K byte individually useable sectors
   — Erase Suspend/Resume increases system level performance
   — BUSY# and RESET# signals
■ Zero data retention power
   — No power required to retain data
■ Available in industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C)
■ Miniature Card standard form factor
   — True interchangeability
   — 60-pad connector
   — Supports multiple technologies
   — Sonic welded stainless steel case
   — PCMCIA Type II adapter available
   — Selectable byte- or word-wide configuration
   — Small form factor (38 mm x 33 mm x 3.5 mm)
■ 60 connection bus
   — 16-bit data bus
   — 25-bit address bus
   — Easy system integration
   — Low cost implementation
   — Low cost cards
■ Consumer-friendly mechanicals
   — User can easily insert and remove card, upgrade memory, and add applications
■ Voltage level keying
   — Does not allow a 5 V card to plug into a 3 V system and vice versa
   — Single power supply design
   — System does not need a separate program voltage supply; only one is necessary to read and write
