Note: 1) These signals are required only for 16 bit accesses and not required when installed in 8 bit
systems. Devices should allow for 3-state signals not to consume current.
2) The signal should be grounded by the host.
3) The signal should be tied to VCC by the host.
4) The mode is required for CompactFlash Storage Cards.
5) The -CSEL signal is ignored by the card in PC Card modes. However, because it is not
pulled upon the card in these modes, it should not be left floating by the host in PC Card
modes. In these modes, the pin should be connected by the host to PC Card A25 or
grounded by the host.
6) If DMA operations are not used, the signal should be held high or tied to VCC by the host. For
proper operation in older hosts: while DMA operations are not active, the card shall ignore
this signal,including a floating condition
7) Signal usage in True IDE Mode except when Ultra DMA mode protocol is active.
8) Signal usage in True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Write is active.
9) Signal usage in True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Read is active.
10) Signal usage in PC Card I/O and Memory Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Write is active.
11) Signal usage in PC Card I/O and Memory Mode when Ultra DMA mode protocol DMA Read is active.
12) Signal usage in PC Card I/O and Memory Mode when Ultra DMA protocol is active.

-INPACK
(PC Card Memory Mode)
O
43
Description
This signal is not used in this mode.
The Input Acknowledge signal is asserted by the CompactFlash Storage Card
when the card is selected and responding to an I/O read cycle at the address
that is on the address bus. This signal is used by the host to control the enable of
any input data buffers between the CompactFlash Storage Card and the CPU.
-INPACK
(PC Card I/O Mode)
Input Acknowledge
This signal is a DMA Request that is used for DMA data transfers between host
and device. It shall be asserted by the device when it is ready to transfer data to
or from the host. For Multiword DMA transfers, the direction of data transfer is
controlled by -IORD and -IOWR. This signal is used in a handshake manner with
-DMACK, i.e., the device shall wait until the host asserts -DMACK before
negating DMARQ, and reasserting DMARQ if there is more data to transfer.
DMARQ
(True IDE Mode)
DMARQ shall not be driven when the device is not selected.
While a DMA operation is in progress, -CS0 and –CS1 shall be held negated and
the width of the transfers shall be 16 bits.
If there is no hardware support for DMA mode in the host, this output signal is not
used and should not be connected at the host. In this case, the BIOS must report
that DMA mode is not supported by the host so that device drivers will not
attempt DMA mode.
A host that does not support DMA mode and implements both PCMCIA and
True-IDE modes of operation need not alter the PCMCIA mode connections
while in True-IDE mode as long as this does not prevent proper operation in any
mode.
-IORD
(PC Card Memory Mode)
I
-IORD
(PC Card I/O Mode)
34
This signal is not used in this mode.
This is an I/O Read strobe generated by the host. This signal gates I/O data onto
the bus from the CompactFlash Storage Card when the card is configured to use
the I/O interface.
-IORD
(True IDE Mode – Except
Ultra DMA Protocol Active)
In True IDE Mode, while Ultra DMA mode is not active, this signal has the same
function as in PC Card I/O Mode.
-HDMARDY
(True IDE Mode – In Ultra
DMA Protocol DMA Read)
In True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode DMA Read is active, this signal is
asserted by the host to indicate that the host is read to receive Ultra DMA data-in
bursts. The host may negate -HDMARDY to pause an Ultra DMA transfer.
HSTROBE
(True IDE Mode – In Ultra
DMA Protocol DMA Write)
In True IDE Mode when Ultra DMA mode DMA Write is active, this signal is the
data out strobe generated by the host. Both the rising and falling edge of
HSTROBE cause data to be latched by the device. The host may stop
generating HSTROBE edges to pause an Ultra DMA data-out burst.

-IOWR
(PC Card I/O Mode)
Description
This signal is not used in this mode.
The I/O Write strobe pulse is used to clock I/O data on the Card Data bus into
the CompactFlash Storage Card controller registers when the CompactFlash
Storage Card is configured to use the I/O interface.
The clocking shall occur on the negative to positive edge of the signal (trailing
edge).
-IOWR
(True IDE Mode – Except
Ultra DMA Protocol Active)
In True IDE Mode, while Ultra DMA mode protocol is not active, this signal has
the same function as in PC Card I/O Mode. When Ultra DMA mode protocol is
supported, this signal must be negated before entering Ultra DMA mode
protocol.
STOP
(True IDE Mode – Ultra DMA
Protocol Active)
In True IDE Mode, while Ultra DMA mode protocol is active, the assertion of this
signal causes the termination of the Ultra DMA burst.
-OE
(PC Card Memory Mode)
I
9
This is an Output Enable strobe generated by the host interface. It is used to
read data from the CompactFlash Storage Card in Memory Mode and to read
the CIS and configuration registers.
-OE
(PC Card I/O Mode)
In PC Card I/O Mode, this signal is used to read the CIS and configuration
registers.
-ATA SEL
(True IDE Mode)
To enable True IDE Mode this input should be grounded by the host.
READY
(PC Card Memory Mode)
O
37
In Memory Mode, this signal is set high when the CompactFlash Storage Card is
ready to accept a new data transfer operation and is held low when the card is
busy.
At power up and at Reset, the READY signal is held low (busy) until the
CompactFlash Storage Card has completed its power up or reset function. No
access of any type should be made to the CompactFlash Storage Card during
this time.
Note, however, that when a card is powered up and used with RESET
continuously disconnected or asserted, the Reset function of the RESET pin is
disabled. Consequently, the continuous assertion of RESET from the application
of power shall not cause the READY signal to remain continuously in the busy
state.
-IREQ
(PC Card I/O Mode)
I/O Operation – After the CompactFlash Storage Card Card has been
configured for I/O operation, this signal is used as -Interrupt Request. This line is
strobed low to generate a pulse mode interrupt or held low for a level mode
interrupt.
INTRQ
(True IDE Mode)
In True IDE Mode signal is the active high Interrupt Request to the host.

Description
This signal is used during Memory Cycles to distinguish between Common
Memory and Register (Attribute) Memory accesses. High for Common Memory,
Low for Attribute Memory.
-REG
(PC Card I/O Mode)
The signal shall also be active (low) during I/O Cycles when the I/O address is on
the Bus.
-DMACK
(True IDE Mode)
This is a DMA Acknowledge signal that is asserted by the host in response to
DMARQ to initiate DMA transfers.
While DMA operations are not active, the card shall ignore the -DMACK signal,
including a floating condition.
If DMA operation is not supported by a True IDE Mode only host, this signal
should be driven high or connected to VCC by the host.
A host that does not support DMA mode and implements both PCMCIA and
True-IDE modes of operation need not alter the PCMCIA mode connections
while in True-IDE mode as long as this does not prevent proper operation all
modes.
RESET
(PC Card Memory Mode)
I
41
The CompactFlash Storage Card is Reset when the RESET pin is high with the
following important exception:
The host may leave the RESET pin open or keep it continually high from the
application of power without causing a continuous Reset of the card. Under
either of these conditions, the card shall emerge from power-up having
completed an initial Reset.
The CompactFlash Storage Card is also Reset when the Soft Reset bit in the
Card Configuration Option Register is set.
RESET

with DC current 700 μ A low state and 150 μ A high state per socket).
2) Resistor is optional.
3) Status Signals: the socket shall present a load to the card no larger than 50 pF 10 at a DC current of 400 μ A low
state and 100 μ A high state, including pull-up resistor. The card shall be able to drive at least the following load
10 while
meeting all AC timing requirements: 50 pF at a DC current of 400 μ A low state and 100 μ A high state.
4) Status Signals: the socket shall present a load to the card no larger than 50 pF 10 at a DC current of 400 μ A low
state and 100 μ A high state, including pull-up resistor. The card shall be able to drive at least the following load
10 while
meeting all AC timing requirements: 50 pF at a DC current of 400 μ A low state and 100 μ A high state.
5) Status Signals: the socket shall present a load to the card no larger than 50 pF 10 at a DC current of 400 μ A low
state and 100 μ A high state, including pull-up resistor. The card shall be able to drive at least the following load
10 while meeting all AC timing requirements: 50 pF at a DC current of 400 μ A low state and 1100 μ A high state.
6) BVD2 was not defined in the JEIDA 3.0 release. Systems fully supporting JEIDA release 3 SRAM cards shall
pull-up pin 45 (BVD2) to avoid sensing their batteries as “Low.”
7) Address Signals: each card shall present a load of no more than 100pF 10 at a DC current of 450μ A low state and
150μ A high state. The host shall be able to drive at least the following load 10 while meeting all AC timing
requirements: (the number of sockets wired in parallel) multiplied by (100pF with DC current 450μ A low state
and 150μ A high state per socket).
8) Data Signals: the host and each card shall present a load no larger than 50pF 10 at a DC current of 450μ A and
150μ A high state. The host and each card shall be able to drive at least the following load 10 while meeting all
AC timing requirements: 100pF with DC current 1.6mA low state and 300μ A high state. This permits the host to
wire two sockets in parallel without derating the card access speeds.
9) Reset Signal: This signal is pulled up to prevent the input from floating when a CFA to PCMCIA adapter is used
in a PCMCIA revision 1 host. However, to minimize DC current drain through the pull-up resistor in normal
operation the pull-up should be turned off once the Reset signal has been actively driven low by the host.
Consequently, the input is specified as an I2Z because the resistor is not necessarily detectable in the input
current leakage test.
10) Host and card restrictions for CF Advanced Timing Modes and Ultra DMA modes: Additional Requirements for
CF Advanced Timing Modes and Ultra DMA Electrical Requirements for additional required limitations on the
implementation of CF Advanced Timing modes and Ultra DMA modes respectively.
Additional Requirements for CF Advanced Timing Modes
The CF Advanced Timing modes include PCMCIA I/O and Memory modes that are 100ns or faster and True
IDE PIO Modes 5,6 and Multiword DMA Modes 3,4.
When operating in CF Advanced timing modes, the host shall conform to the following requirements:
1) Only one CF device shall be attached to the CF Bus.
2) The host shall not present a load of more than 40pF to the device for all signals, including any cabling.
3) The maximum cable length is 0.15 m (6 in). The cable length is measured from the card connector to the host
controller. 0.46 m (18 in) cables are not supported.
4) The -WAIT and IORDY signals shall be ignored by the host.
Devices supporting CF Advanced timing modes shall also support slower timing modes, to ensure operability with
systems that do not support CF Advanced timing modes

Table: Ultra DMA Termination with Pull-up or Pull down Example
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Trace Requirements for Ultra DMA
On any PCB for a host or device supporting Ultra DMA:
The longest D[15:00] trace shall be no more than 0.5" longer than either STROBE trace as measured from the
IC pin to the connector.
The shortest D[15:00] trace shall be no more than 0.5" shorter than either STROBE trace as measured from
the IC pin to the connector.
Ultra DMA Mode Cabling Requirement
Operation in Ultra DMA mode requires a crosstalk suppressing cable. The cable shall have a grounded line
between each signal line.
For True IDE mode operation using a cable with IDE (ATA) type 40 pin connectors it is recommended that the
host sense the cable type using the method described in the ANSI INCITS 361-2002 AT Attachment - 6
standard, to prevent use of Ultra DMA with a 40 conductor cable.

limited time-out that has a defined minimum. tLI is a limited time-out that has a defined maximum.
2) 80-conductor cabling shall be required in order to meet setup (tDS, tCS) and hold (tDH, tCH) times
in modes greater than 2.
3) Timing for tDVS, tDVH, tCVS and tCVH shall be met for lumped capacitive loads of 15 and 40 pF
at the connector where the Data and STROBE signals have the same capacitive load value. Due to
reflections on the cable, these timing measurements are not valid in a normally functioning system.
4)For all modes the parameter tZIORDY may be greater than tENV due to the fact that the host has
a pull-up on IORDY- giving it a known state when released.
5)The parameters tDS, and tDH for mode 5 are defined for a recipient at the end of the cable only in
a configuration with a single device located at the end of the cable. This could result in the minimum
values for tDS and tDH for mode 5 at the middle connector being 3.0 and 3.9 ns respectively.
Notes: 1) All timing measurement switching points(low to high and high to low) shall be taken at 1.5 V.
2) The correct data value shall be captured by the recipient given input data with a slew rate of 0.4
V/ns rising and falling and the input STROBE with a slew rate of 0.4 V/ns rising and falling at tDSIC
and tDHIC timing (as measured through 1.5 V).
3) The parameters tDVSIC and tDVHIC shall be met for lumped capacitive loads of 15 and 40 pF at
the IC where all signals have the same capacitive load value. Noise that may couple onto the output
signals from external sources has not been included in these values.

Note: 1) The sender shall be tested while driving an 18 inch long, 80 conductor cable with PVC insulation
material. The signal under test shall be cut at a test point so that it has not trace, cable or recipient
loading after the test point. All other signals should remain connected through to the recipient. The test
point may be located at any point between the sender’s series termination resistor and one half inch or
less of conductor exiting the connector. If the test point is on a cable conductor rather than the PCB,
an adjacent ground conductor shall also be cut within one half inch of the connector.
The test load and test points should then be soldered directly to the exposed source side connectors.
The test loads consist of a 15 pF or a 40 pF, 5%, 0.08 inch by 0.05 inch surface mount or smaller size
capacitor from the test point to ground. Slew rates shall be met for both capacitor values.
Measurements shall be taken at the test point using a <1 pF, >100 Kohm, 1 Ghz or faster probe and
a 500 MHz or faster oscilloscope. The average rate shall be measured from 20% to 80% of the settled
VOH level with data transitions at least 120 nsec apart. The settled VOH level shall be measured as

Card Configuration
The CompactFlash Storage Cards is identified by appropriate information in the Card Information Structure (CIS).
The following configuration registers are used to coordinate the I/O spaces and the Interrupt level of cards that
are located in the system. In addition, these registers provide a method for accessing status information about
the CompactFlash Storage Card that may be used to arbitrate between multiple interrupt sources on the same
interrupt level or to replace status information that appears on dedicated pins in memory cards that have
alternate use in I/O cards.

I/O Transfer Function
The I/O transfer to or from the CompactFlash Storage can be either 8 or 16 bits. When a 16 bit accessible port
is addressed, the signal -IOIS16 is asserted by the CompactFlash Storage. Otherwise, the -IOIS16 signal is
de-asserted. When a 16 bit transfer is attempted, and the -IOIS16 signal is not asserted by the CompactFlash
Storage, the system shall generate a pair of 8 bit references to access the word‘s even byte and odd byte. The
CompactFlash Storage Card permits both 8 and 16 bit accesses to all of its I/O addresses, so -IOIS16 is
asserted for all addresses to which the CompactFlash Storage responds. The CompactFlash Storage Card
may request the host to extend the length of an input cycle until data is ready by asserting the -WAIT signal at
the start of the cycle.

The CompactFlash Storage Card can be configured in a True IDE Mode of operation. The CompactFlash Storage
Card is configured in this mode only when the -OE input signal is grounded by the host during the power off to
power on cycle. Optionally, CompactFlash Storage Cards may support the following optional detection methods:
1. The card is permitted to monitor the –OE (-ATA SEL) signal at any time(s) and switch to PCMCIA mode upon
detecting a high level on the pin.
2. The card is permitted to re-arbitrate the interface mode determination following a transition of the (-)RESET pin.
3. The card is permitted to monitor the –OE (-ATA SEL) signal at any time(s) and switch to True IDE mode upon
detection of a continuous low level on pin for an extended period of time.

CF-ATA Drive Register Set Definition and Protocol
The CompactFlash Storage Card can be configured as a high performance I/O device through:
a) The standard PC-AT disk I/O address spaces 1F0h-1F7h, 3F6h-3F7h (primary) or 170h- 177h, 376h-377h
(secondary) with IRQ 14 (or other available IRQ).
b) Any system decoded 16 byte I/O block using any available IRQ.
c) Memory space.
The communication to or from the CompactFlash Storage Card is done using the Task File registers, which
provide all the necessary registers for control and status information related to the storage medium. The PCMCIA
interface connects peripherals to the host using four register mapping methods. Table 39 is a detailed description
of these methods:

CF-ATA Registers
The following section describes the hardware registers used by the host software to issue commands to the
CompactFlash device. These registers are often collectively referred to as the “task file.”
Data Register (Address - 1F0h[170h];Offset 0,8,9)
The Data Register is a 16 bit register, and it is used to transfer data blocks between the CompactFlash
Storage Card data buffer and the Host. This register overlaps the Error Register.
Error Register (Address - 1F1h[171h]; Offset 1, 0Dh Read Only)
This register contains additional information about the source of an error when an error is indicated in bit 0
of the Status register.
This register is also accessed in PC Card Modes on data bits D15-D8 during a read operation to offset 0 with
-CE2 low and -CE1 high.
Bit 7 (BBK/ICRC): this bit is set when a Bad Block is detected. This bit is also set when an interface CRC
error is detected in True IDE Ultra DMA modes of operation.
Bit 6 (UNC): this bit is set when an Uncorrectable Error is encountered.
Bit 5: this bit is 0.
Bit 4 (IDNF): the requested sector ID is in error or cannot be found.
Bit 3: this bit is 0.
Bit 2 (Abort) This bit is set if the command has been aborted because of a CompactFlash Storage Card
status condition: (Not Ready, Write Fault, etc.) or when an invalid command has been issued.
Bit 1 This bit is 0.
Bit 0 (AMNF) This bit is set in case of a general error.

This register contains the numbers of sectors of data requested to be transferred on a read or write
operation between the host and the CompactFlash Storage Card. If the value in this register is zero, a count
of 256 sectors is specified. If the command was successful, this register is zero at command completion. If
not successfully completed, the register contains the number of sectors that need to be transferred in order
to complete the request.
Sector Number (LBA 7-0) Register (Address - 1F3h[173h]; Offset 3)
This register contains the starting sector number or bits 7-0 of the Logical Block Address (LBA) for any
CompactFlash Storage Card data access for the subsequent command.
6.1.5.5 Cylinder Low (LBA 15-8) Register (Address - 1F4h[174h]; Offset 4)
This register contains the low order 8 bits of the starting cylinder address or bits 15-8 of the Logical Block
Address.
Cylinder High (LBA 23-16) Register (Address - 1F5h[175h]; Offset 5)
This register contains the high order bits of the starting cylinder address or bits 23-16 of the Logical Block
Address.
Drive/Head (LBA 27-24) Register (Address 1F6h[176h]; Offset 6)
The Drive/Head register is used to select the drive and head. It is also used to select LBA addressing
instead of cylinder/head/sector addressing.
Bit 7: this bit is specified as 1 for backward compatibility reasons. It is intended that this bit will become
obsolete in a future revision of the specification. This bit is ignored by some controllers in some
commands.
Bit 6: LBA is a flag to select either Cylinder/Head/Sector (CHS) or Logical Block Address Mode (LBA).
When LBA=0, Cylinder/Head/Sector mode is selected. When LBA=1, Logical Block Address is
selected. In Logical Block Mode, the Logical Block Address is interpreted as follows:
LBA7-LBA0: Sector Number Register D7-D0.
LBA15-LBA8: Cylinder Low Register D7-D0.
LBA23-LBA16: Cylinder High Register D7-D0.
LBA27-LBA24: Drive/Head Register bits HS3-HS0.
Bit 5: this bit is specified as 1 for backward compatibility reasons. It is intended that this bit will become
obsolete in a future revisions of the specification. This bit is ignored by some controllers in some
commands.
Bit 4 (DRV): DRV is the drive number. When DRV=0, drive (card) 0 is selected. When DRV=1, drive (card)
1 is selected. Setting this bit to 1 is obsolete in PCMCIA modes of operation. If the obsolete functionality
is support by a CF Storage Card, the CompactFlash Storage Card is set to be Card 0 or 1 using the
copy field (Drive #) of the PCMCIA Socket & Copy configuration register.

Bit 3 (HS3): when operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 3 of the head number. It is Bit 27
in the Logical Block Address mode.
Bit 2 (HS2): when operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 2 of the head number. It is Bit 26
in the Logical Block Address mode.
Bit 1 (HS1): when operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 1 of the head number. It is Bit 25
in the Logical Block Address mode.
Bit 0 (HS0): when operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 0 of the head number. It is Bit 24
in the Logical Block Address mode.
Status & Alternate Status Registers (Address 1F7h[177h]&3F6h[376h]; Offsets 7 & Eh)
These registers return the CompactFlash Storage Card status when read by the host. Reading
the Status register does clear a pending interrupt while reading the Auxiliary Status register does
not. The status bits are described as follows:
Bit 7 (BUSY): the busy bit is set when the CompactFlash Storage Card has access to the command buffer
and registers and the host is locked out from accessing the command register and buffer. No other bits
in this register are valid when this bit is set to a 1. During the data transfer of DMA commands, the Card
shall not assert DMARQ unless either the BUSY bit, the DRQ bit, or both are set to one.
Bit 6 (RDY): RDY indicates whether the device is capable of performing CompactFlash Storage Card
operations. This bit is cleared at power up and remains cleared until the CompactFlash Storage Card is
ready to accept a command.
Bit 5 (DWF): This bit, if set, indicates a write fault has occurred.
Bit 4 (DSC): This bit is set when the CompactFlash Storage Card is ready.
Bit 3 (DRQ): The Data Request is set when the CompactFlash Storage Card requires that information be
transferred either to or from the host through the Data register. During the data transfer of DMA
commands, the Card shall not assert DMARQ unless either the BUSY bit, the DRQ bit, or both are set
to one.
Bit 2 (CORR): This bit is set when a Correctable data error has been encountered and the data has been
corrected. This condition does not terminate a multi-sector read operation.
Bit 1 (IDX): This bit is always set to 0.
Bit 0 (ERR): This bit is set when the previous command has ended in some type of error. The bits in the
Error register contain additional information describing the error. It is recommended that media access
commands (such as Read Sectors and Write Sectors) that end with an error condition should have the
address of the first sector in error in the command block registers.

Device Control Register (Address - 3F6h[376h]; Offset Eh)
This register is used to control the CompactFlash Storage Card interrupt request and to issue an ATA soft
reset to the card. This register can be written even if the device is BUSY. The bits are defined as follows:
Bit 7: this bit is ignored by the CompactFlash Storage Card. The host software should set this bit to 0.
Bit 6: this bit is ignored by the CompactFlash Storage Card. The host software should set this bit to 0.
Bit 5: this bit is ignored by the CompactFlash Storage Card. The host software should set this bit to 0.
Bit 4: this bit is ignored by the CompactFlash Storage Card. The host software should set this bit to 0.
Bit 3: this bit is ignored by the CompactFlash Storage Card. The host software should set this bit to 0.
Bit 2 (SW Rst): this bit is set to 1 in order to force the CompactFlash Storage Card to perform an AT Disk
controller Soft Reset operation. This does not change the PCMCIA Card Configuration Registers as a
hardware Reset does. The Card remains in Reset until this bit is reset to ‘0.’
Bit 1 (-IEn): the Interrupt Enable bit enables interrupts when the bit is 0. When the bit is 1, interrupts from
the CompactFlash Storage Card are disabled. This bit also controls the Int bit in the Configuration and
Status Register. This bit is set to 0 at power on and Reset.
Bit 0: this bit is ignored by the CompactFlash Storage 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.

Check Power Mode - 98h or E5h
If the CompactFlash Storage Card is in, going to, or recovering from the sleep mode, the CompactFlash Storage
Card sets BSY, sets the Sector Count Register to 00h, clears BSY and generates an interrupt.
If the CompactFlash Storage Card is in Idle mode, the CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY, sets the Sector
Count Register to FFh, clears BSY and generates an interrupt.
Execute Drive Diagnostic - 90h
When the diagnostic command is issued in a PCMCIA configuration mode, this command runs only on the
CompactFlash Storage Card that is addressed by the Drive/Head register. This is because PCMCIA card interface
does not allows for direct inter-drive communication (such as the ATA PDIAG and DASP signals). When the
diagnostic command is issued in the True IDE Mode, the Drive bit is ignored and the diagnostic command is
executed by both the Master and the Slave with the Master responding with status for both devices.
Diagnostic Codes are returned in the Error Register at the end of the command.

Erase Sector(s) - C0h
This command is used to pre-erase and condition data sectors in advance of a Write without Erase or Write
Multiple without Erase command. There is no data transfer associated with this command but a Write Fault error
status can occur.
Flush Cache – E7h
This command causes the card to complete writing data from its cache. The card returns status with RDY=1 and
DSC=1 after the data in the write cache buffer is written to the media. If the Compact Flash Storage Card does not
support the Flush Cache command, the Compact Flash Storage Card shall return command aborted.
Format Track - 50h
This command writes the desired head and cylinder of the selected drive with a vendor unique data pattern
(typically FFh or 00h). To remain host backward compatible, the CompactFlash Storage Card expects a sector
buffer of data from the host to follow the command with the same protocol as the Write Sector(s) command
although the information in the buffer is not used by the CompactFlash Storage Card. If LBA=1 then the number of
sectors to format is taken from the Sec Cnt register (0=256). The use of this command is not recommended.

Word 0: General Configuration
This field indicates the general characteristics of the device. When Word 0 of the Identify drive information
is 848Ah then the device is a CompactFlash Storage Card and complies with the CFA specification and
CFA command set. It is recommended that PCMCIA modes of operation report only the 848Ah value as
they are always intended as removable devices.
Bits 15-0: CF Standard Configuration Value
Word 0 is 848Ah. This is the recommended value of Word 0.
Some operating systems require Bit 6 of Word 0 to be set to 1 (Non-removable device) to use the card as
the root storage device. The Card must be the root storage device when a host completely replaces
conventional disk storage with a CompactFlash Card in True IDE mode. To support this requirement and
provide capability for any future removable media Cards, alternatehandling of Word 0 is permitted.
Bits 15-0: CF Preferred Alternate Configuration Values
044Ah: This is the alternate value of Word 0 turns on ATA device and turns off Removable Media and
Removable Device while preserving all Retired bits in the word.
0040h: This is the alternate value of Word 0 turns on ATA device and turns off Removable Media and
Removable Device while zeroing all Retired bits in the word
Bit 15-12: Configuration Flag
If bits 15:12 are set to 8h then Word 0 shall be 848Ah.
If bits 15:12 are set to 0h then Bits 11:0 are set using the definitions below and the Card is required to
support for the CFA command set and report that in bit 2 of Word 83.
Bit 15:12 values other than 8h and 0h are prohibited.
Bits 11-8: Retired
These bits have retired ATA bit definitions. It is recommended that the value of these bits be either the
preferred value of 0h or the value of 4h that preserves the corresponding bits from the 848Ah CF signature
value.
Bit 7: Removable Media Device
If Bit 7 is set to 1, the Card contains media that can be removed during Card operation.
If Bit 7 is set to 0, the Card contains nonremovable media.
Bit 6: Not Removable Controller and/or Device
Alert! This bit will be considered for obsolescence in a future revision of this standard.
If Bit 6 is set to 1, the Card is intended to be nonremovable during operation.
If Bit 6 is set to 0, the Card is intended to be removable during operation.
Bits 5-0: Retired/Reserved
