SRAM PCMCIA Card
SEA Series
SRAM Memory Card
128 kB through512 kB
The EDI
SEA
SRAM Series memory cards offer a
high performance nonvolatile storage solution for
code and data storage, disk caching, and write
intensive mobile and embedded applications.
Packaged in PCMCIA type I housing the EDI
SRAM SEA series is based on 1 or 4Mbit SRAM
memories, providing densities from 128 Kbytes to
512 Kbytes.
The SEA series of SRAM memory cards requires a
5V power supply and operates at speeds to 150ns.
The cards are based on advanced CMOS technology
providing very low power and reliable data retention
characteristics. EDI’s SRAM cards contain a
rechargeable lithium battery and recharge circuitry,
eliminating the need for replaceable batteries found
in many SRAM cards.
EDI’s standard cards are shipped with EDI’s SRAM
Logo. Cards are also available with blank housings
(no Logo). The blank housings are available in both a
recessed (for label) and flat housing. Please contact
EDI sales representative for further information on
Custom artwork.

Name and Function
ADDRESS INPUTS:
A0 through A25 enable direct addressing of up
to 64MB of memory on the card. Signal A0 is not used in word access
mode. A25 is the most significant bit. (address pins used are based on
card density,see pinout for highest used address pin)
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. Upper byte is Not Connected on
this card.
CARD ENABLE 1 AND 2:
CE1# enables even byte accesses,
C E2# control signal in PCMCIA standard, to access high byte, - not
used on this card
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:
Not used for SRAM cards
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:
Follows hardware Write Protect Switch. When
Switch is placed in on position, signal is pulled high (10K ohm). When
switch is off signal is pulled low.
PROGRAM/ERASE POW ER SUPPLY:
Not used for SRAM
cards.
CARD POW ER 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:
Not used for SRAM cards
WAIT:
This signal is pulled high internally for compatibility. No wait
states are generated.
BATTERY VOLTAGE DETECT:
Provides status of Battery
voltage.
BVD2 = BVD1 = Voh (battery voltage is guaranteed to retain data)
BVD2 = Vol, BVD1 = Voh (data is valid, battery recharge required)
BVD2 = BVD1 = Vol (data may no longer be valid, battery requires
extended recharge)
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.
RESERV ED FOR FUTURE USE
NO INTERNAL CONNECTION TO CARD:
pin may be driven
or left floating

4. ICCS includes battery recharge current. Value depends on battery discharge level. ICCS min is specified for fully charged battery.
ICCS typical value is specified for battery discharge to 2.7V. ICCS max is specified for a fully discharged battery (0V). Battery will

5. Values are the same for byte and word wide modes for all card densities.
6. Exceptions: Leakage currents on CE1#, CE2#, OE#, REG# and WE# will be < 500 µA when VIN = GND due to
