TS1G~32GCF133

133X CompactFlash Card

 

 

 

￿Card (Drive) Address Register (Address 3F7h[377h]; Offset Fh)

This register is provided for compatibility with the AT disk drive interface. It is recommended that this register not be mapped into the host’s I/O space because of potential conflicts on Bit 7.

Bit 7: this bit is unknown.

Implementation Note:

Conflicts may occur on the host data bus when this bit is provided by a Floppy Disk Controller operating at the same addresses as the CompactFlash Storage Card. Following are some possible solutions to this problem for the PCMCIA implementation:

1)Locate the CompactFlash Storage Card at a non-conflicting address, i.e. Secondary address (377) or in an independently decoded Address Space when a Floppy Disk Controller is located at the Primary addresses.

2)Do not install a Floppy and a CompactFlash Storage Card in the system at the same time.

3)Implement a socket adapter that can be programmed to (conditionally) tri-state D7 of I/0 address 3F7h/377h when a CompactFlash Storage Card is installed and conversely to tristate D6-D0 of I/O address 3F7h/377h when a floppy controller is installed.

4)Do not use the CompactFlash Storage Card’s Drive Address register. This may be accomplished by either a) If possible, program the host adapter to enable only I/O addresses 1F0h-1F7h, 3F6h (or 170h-177h, 176h) to the CompactFlash Storage Card or b) if provided use an additional Primary / Secondary configuration in the CompactFlash Storage Card which does not respond to accesses to I/O locations 3F7h and 377h. With either of these implementations, the host software shall not attempt to use information in the Drive Address Register.

Bit 6 (-WTG): this bit is 0 when a write operation is in progress; otherwise, it is 1.

Bit 5 (-HS3): this bit is the negation of bit 3 in the Drive/Head register.

Bit 4 (-HS2): this bit is the negation of bit 2 in the Drive/Head register.

Bit 3 (-HS1): this bit is the negation of bit 1 in the Drive/Head register.

Bit 2 (-HS0): this bit is the negation of bit 0 in the Drive/Head register.

Bit 1 (-nDS1): this bit is 0 when drive 1 is active and selected.

Bit 0 (-nDS0): this bit is 0 when the drive 0 is active and selected.

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.
