PCMCIA Flash Memory Card
FVB Series
Value Series Flash Memory Card (AMD based)
General Description
The WEDC Value Series (FV) Flash memory cards
offers a low cost linear Flash solid state storage
solution for code and data storage, high performance
disk
emulation,
mobile
PC
and
embedded
applications.
The WEDC FVB Value series is based on AMD
Flash memories. Current cards are based on the
AMD 29F016 (2MB) device whose manufacturer
and device code is 01 and ADH respectively. The
symmetrically blocked architecture and single 5V
operation
provides
a
cost
effective,
high
performance, nonvolatile storage solution. The PC
Card form factor offers an industry standard pinout
and mechanical outline, allowing density upgrades
without system design changes.
The Value series is designed as a simple x16 linear
array of Flash devices. Two Flash devices in parallel
provide the lower and upper bytes for the 16 bit
access. The Value series does not provide access of
the ODD byte (D8 - D15) on the even byte data path
(D0 - D7).
WEDC’s standard Value Series Flash Card is
shipped with no attribute memory or CIS (Card
Information Structure) information. An option for
2KB of attribute memory with CIS information is
available. The CIS for the WEDC Value series may
also be stored in Block 0 (even bytes, D0 - D7 only)
of the Flash memory, this option is available by
request only.
WEDC’s standard cards are shipped with WEDC
Logo. Cards are also available in blank housings (no
Logo). The blank housings are available in both a
recessed (for label) and flat housing. Please contact
WEDC sales representative for further information

Notes:
1. RDY/BSY is an open drain output, external pull-up resistor is required.
2. Shows density for which specified address bit is MSB. Higher order address bits are no
connects (i.e., 4MB A21 is MSB A22 - A25 are NC).

Card Signal Description
Symbol
A0 - A25
Type
INPUT
Name and Function
ADDRESS INPUTS:
A0 through A25 enable direct addressing of
up to 64MB of memory on the card. Signal A0 is not decoded since
the card is x16 only. The memory will wrap at the card density
boundary. The system should not try to access memory beyond the
card density. The upper addresses are not connected.
DATA INPUT/OUTPUT:
DQ0 THROUGH DQ15 constitute the
bi-directional databus. DQ0 - DQ7 constitute the lower (even) byte
and DQ8 - DQ15 the upper (odd) byte. DQ15 is the MSB.
CARD ENABLE 1 AND 2:
CE1# enables even byte accesses, CE2#
enables odd byte accesses. Odd byte (DQ8 - DQ15) can not be
accessed on DQ0 - DQ7.
OUTPUT ENABLE:
Active low signal enabling read data from the
memory card.
WRITE ENABLE:
Active low signal gating write data to the
memory card.
READY/BUSY OUTPUT:
Indicates status of internally timed erase
or program algorithms. A high output indicates that the card is ready
to accept accesses. Open Drain output, pull-up resistor is required.
CARD DETECT 1 and 2:
Provide card insertion detection. These
signals are connected to ground internally on the memory card. The
host socket interface circuitry shall supply 10K-ohm or larger pull-up
resistors on these signal pins.
WRITE PROTECT:
This signal is pulled low internally. This
signifies write protect = "off " for all cases.
PROGRAM/ERASE POWER SUPPLY:
Not connected for 5V
only card.
CARD POWER SUPPLY:
5.0V for all internal circuitry.
GROUND:
for all internal circuitry.
ATTRIBUTE MEMORY SELECT :
only used with cards built
with optional attribute memory.
RESET:
Active high signal for placing card in Power-on default
state. Reset can be used as a Power-Down signal for the memory
array.
WAIT:
This signal is pulled high internally for compatibility. No
wait states are generated.
BATTERY VOLTAGE DETECT:
These signals are pulled high to
maintain SRAM card compatibility.
VOLTAGE SENSE:
Notifies the host socket of the card's VCC
requirements. VS1 and VS2 are open to indicate a 5V, 16 bit card
has been inserted.
RESERVED FOR FUTURE USE
NO INTERNAL CONNECTION TO CARD:
pin may be driven
or left floating
