ATA CF
AP-CFxxxxH4XR-XXXXXX
1. General Description
Apacer’s ATA CF offers the most reliable and high performance storage which is compatible with CF
Type I and Type II devise. Unlike the ordinary cards, Apacer ATA CF provides solid traceability to ensure
all perspectives qualified especially for use in Point of Sale (POS) terminals, telecom, IP-STB, medical
instruments, surveillance systems, industrial PCs and handheld applications
Featuring technologies as Advanced Wear-leveling algorithms, S.M.A.R.T, Enhanced Data Integrity, Built-
in Hardware ECC, Intelligent Power Failure Recovery, Secure Protection Zone, and Quick Erase,
Apacer’s ATA CF assures users of a versatile device on data storage.
1.1 Performance-Optimized Controller
The ATA CF Controller translates standard CF signals into flash media data and control signals.
1.1.1 Power Management Unit (PMU)
The power management unit (PMU) controls the power consumption of the ATA CF Controller. It reduces
the power consumption of the ATA CF Controller by putting circuitry not in operation into sleep mode. The
PMU has zero wake-up latency.
1.1.2 SRAM Buffer
The ATA CF Controller performs as an SRAM buffer to optimize the host’s data transfer to and from the
flash media.
