TS1G~32GCF133

133X CompactFlash Card

 

 

 

￿Feature Register (Address - 1F1h[171h]; Offset 1, 0Dh Write Only)

This register provides information regarding features of the CompactFlash Storage Card that the host can utilize. This register is also accessed in PC Card modes on data bits D15-D8 during a write operation to Offset 0 with -CE2 low and -CE1 high.

￿Sector Count Register (Address - 1F2h[172h]; Offset 2)

This register contains the numbers of sectors of data requested to be transferred on a read or write operation between the host and the CompactFlash Storage 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 command completion. If not successfully completed, the register contains the number of sectors that need to be transferred in order to complete the request.

￿Sector Number (LBA 7-0) Register (Address - 1F3h[173h]; Offset 3)

This register contains the starting sector number or bits 7-0 of the Logical Block Address (LBA) for any CompactFlash Storage Card data access for the subsequent command.

￿6.1.5.5 Cylinder Low (LBA 15-8) Register (Address - 1F4h[174h]; Offset 4)

This register contains the low order 8 bits of the starting cylinder address or bits 15-8 of the Logical Block Address.

￿Cylinder High (LBA 23-16) Register (Address - 1F5h[175h]; Offset 5)

This register contains the high order bits of the starting cylinder address or bits 23-16 of the Logical Block Address.

￿Drive/Head (LBA 27-24) Register (Address 1F6h[176h]; Offset 6)

The Drive/Head register is used to select the drive and head. It is also used to select LBA addressing instead of cylinder/head/sector addressing.

Bit 7: this bit is specified as 1 for backward compatibility reasons. It is intended that this bit will become obsolete in a future revision of the specification. This bit is ignored by some controllers in some commands.

Bit 6: LBA is a flag to select either Cylinder/Head/Sector (CHS) or Logical Block Address Mode (LBA). When LBA=0, Cylinder/Head/Sector mode is selected. When LBA=1, Logical Block Address is selected. In Logical Block Mode, the Logical Block Address is interpreted as follows:

LBA7-LBA0: Sector Number Register D7-D0.

LBA15-LBA8: Cylinder Low Register D7-D0.

LBA23-LBA16: Cylinder High Register D7-D0.

LBA27-LBA24: Drive/Head Register bits HS3-HS0.

Bit 5: this bit is specified as 1 for backward compatibility reasons. It is intended that this bit will become obsolete in a future revisions of the specification. This bit is ignored by some controllers in some commands.

Bit 4 (DRV): DRV is the drive number. When DRV=0, drive (card) 0 is selected. When DRV=1, drive (card) 1 is selected. Setting this bit to 1 is obsolete in PCMCIA modes of operation. If the obsolete functionality is support by a CF Storage Card, the CompactFlash Storage Card is set to be Card 0 or 1 using the copy field (Drive #) of the PCMCIA Socket & Copy configuration register.

TS1G-32GCF133 specifications

Transcend Information, a leading manufacturer of storage and multimedia products, offers a range of high-performance memory solutions. One prominent product is the TS1G-32GCF133, a compact and reliable CompactFlash (CF) card designed for various applications, from professional photography to industrial use and embedded systems.

At the heart of the TS1G-32GCF133 is its 32GB storage capacity, which provides ample space for storing high-resolution images, videos, and data files. This capacity meets the demands of both casual users and professionals requiring significant storage for their content. The card adheres to the CompactFlash Association's CF Type I specifications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices, including DSLRs, camcorders, and even embedded systems.

One of the standout features of this model is its impressive transfer speed. The TS1G-32GCF133 boasts a read speed of up to 133x, which translates to around 20MB/s. This relatively high-speed performance is critical for users who need quick access to data, especially when capturing bursts of images or recording video. The card's write speed, while somewhat lower, ensures that data can still be written effectively without significant delay, making it suitable for various recording scenarios.

Transcend has implemented advanced technologies in the TS1G-32GCF133 to enhance both performance and reliability. The use of SLC (single-level cell) technology in some areas ensures greater endurance and stability, which is particularly important in professional applications where data integrity is paramount. Additionally, the card is equipped with built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) functionality, which detects and corrects potential errors during data transfer, further safeguarding the stored information.

Physical durability is another critical aspect of the TS1G-32GCF133. This CompactFlash card is designed to withstand harsh conditions, making it suitable for use in demanding environments. Its robust construction is resistant to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures, providing peace of mind for users who need reliable performance in the field or in industrial settings.

In terms of compatibility, the TS1G-32GCF133 supports both the CF5 and CF6 standards, allowing it to work seamlessly with a wide range of devices. The card is also backward compatible with older CF devices, making it a versatile choice for those upgrading their storage solutions.

In conclusion, the Transcend Information TS1G-32GCF133 stands out as a reliable and high-performance CompactFlash card that meets the needs of diverse users. With its substantial storage capacity, impressive transfer speeds, advanced technologies, and robust design, it serves as an ideal solution for professionals and enthusiasts alike who seek performance and reliability in their memory storage.
