SanDisk CompactFlash
CompactFlash (CF), which weighs a half ounce and is the size of a matchbook, is an ultra-small, removable data storage system. Introduced in October, 1994, CF provides complete PCMCIA-ATA functionality and compatibility. CF has built-in, industry-standard compatibility because the 50-pin CF card can be easily slipped into a passive 68 pin Type II adapter card that fully meets PCMCIA electrical and mechanical interface specifications.
CompactFlash, available in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 64, 80, and 96MB capacities, was SanDisk's first product based on the company's 32Mbit technology. CF has been designed into more than 140 new mobile products, and more than 45 of those products including digital cameras, HPCs and audio recorders have been introduced. CF is widely used in digital cameras, PDAs, HPCs, personal communicators, medical monitors and audio recorders because it expands the functionality of those products and enables them to be smaller and lighter.
In October, 1995, 12 prominent computing, imaging and consumer electronics companies established the CompactFlash Association (CFA), an organization that is promoting the CompactFlash storage specification as a new industry storage standard. Today, more than 100 companies belong to the CFA. SanDisk has transferred the CFA trademark and technical specifications to CFA which makes it available under a royalty free license to other third party manufacturers who commit to develop, manufacture and supply CF products.
