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

Input Acknowledge
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.
DMARQ
(True IDE Mode)
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 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.

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.

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

Description
This is a signal driven by the host and used for strobing memory write data to the
registers of the CompactFlash Storage Card when the card is configured in the
memory interface mode. It is also used for writing the configuration registers.
-WE
(PC Card I/O Mode)
In PC Card I/O Mode, this signal is used for writing the configuration registers.
-WE
(True IDE Mode)
WP
(PC Card Memory Mode)
Write Protect
In True IDE Mode, this input signal is not used and should be connected to VCC
by the host.
Memory Mode – The CompactFlash Storage Card does not have a write protect
switch. This signal is held low after the completion of the reset initialization
sequence.

-IOIS16
(PC Card I/O Mode)
I/O Operation – When the CompactFlash Storage Card is configured for I/O
Operation Pin 24 is used for the -I/O Selected is 16 Bit Port (-IOIS16) function. A
Low signal indicates that a 16 bit or odd byte only operation can be performed at
the addressed port.
-IOCS16
(True IDE Mode)
In True IDE Mode this output signal is asserted low when this device is expecting
a word data transfer cycle.

Notes: 1) Control Signals: each card shall present a load to the socket no larger than 50 pF 10 at a DC current of 700 μ A low
state and 150 μ A high state, including pull-resistor. The socket 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 (50 pF 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 150
μ 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.

Notes: All timings are in nanoseconds. The maximum load on -IOCS16 is 1 LSTTL with a 50 pF (40pF below 120nsec Cycle Time)
total load. All times are in nanoseconds. Minimum time from -IORDY high to -IORD high is 0 nsec, but minimum -IORD width
shall still be met.
1) t0 is the minimum total cycle time, t2 is the minimum command active time, and t2i is the minimum command recovery time or
command inactive time. The actual cycle time equals the sum of the actual command active time and the actual command
inactive time. The three timing requirements of t0, t2, and t2i shall be met. The minimum total cycle time requirement is greater
than the sum of t2 and t2i. This means a host implementation can lengthen either or both t2 or t2i to ensure that t0 is equal to
or greater than the value reported in the device’s identify device data. A CompactFlash Storage Card implementation shall
support any legal host implementation.
2) This parameter specifies the time from the negation edge of -IORD to the time that the data bus is no longer driven by the
CompactFlash Storage Card (tri-state).
3) The delay from the activation of -IORD or -IOWR until the state of IORDY is first sampled. If IORDY is inactive then the host
shall wait until IORDY is active before the PIO cycle can be completed. If the CompactFlash Storage Card is not driving IORDY
negated at tA after the activation of -IORD or -IOWR, then t5 shall be met and tRD is not applicable. If the CompactFlash
Storage Card is driving IORDY negated at the time tA after the activation of -IORD or -IOWR, then tRD shall be met and t5 is
not applicable.
4) t7 and t8 apply only to modes 0, 1 and 2. For other modes, this signal is not valid.
5) IORDY is not supported in this mode.

4. 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.

4.3 Configuration Option Register(Base + 00h in Attribute Memory)
The Configuration Option Register is used to configure the cards interface, address decoding and interrupt and to
issue a soft reset to the CompactFlash Storage Card.
SRESET - Soft Reset: setting this bit to one (1), waiting the minimum reset width time and returning to zero (0) places the
CompactFlash Storage Card in the Reset state. Setting this bit to one (1) is equivalent to assertion of the
+RESET signal except that the SRESET bit is not cleared. Returning this bit to zero (0) leaves the
CompactFlash Storage Card in the same un-configured, Reset state as following power-up and hardware
reset. This bit is set to zero (0) by power-up and hardware reset. For CompactFlash Storage Cards, using the
PCMCIA Soft Reset is considered a hard Reset by the ATA Commands. Contrast with Soft Reset in the
Device Control Register.
LevlREQ: this bit is set to one (1) when Level Mode Interrupt is selected, and zero (0) when Pulse Mode is selected. Set
to zero (0) by Reset.
Conf5 - Conf0 - Configuration Index: set to zero (0) by reset. It is used to select operation mode of the CompactFlash
Storage Card as shown below.
Note: Conf5 and Conf4 are reserved for CompactFlash Storage cards and shall be written as zero (0).
Table: CompactFlash Storage Card Configurations
4.4 Card Configuration and Status Register (Base + 02h in Attribute Memory)
The Card Configuration and Status Register contains information about the Card’s condition.
Changed: indicates that one or both of the Pin Replacement register CReady, or CWProt bits are set to one (1). When
the Changed bit is set, -STSCHG Pin 46 is held low if the SigChg bit is a One (1) and the CompactFlash
Storage Card is configured for the I/O interface.
SigChg: this bit is set and reset by the host to enable and disable a state-change “signal” from the Status Register, the
Changed bit controls pin 46, the Changed Status signal. If no state change signal is desired, this bit is set to zero
(0) and pin 46 (-STSCHG) signal is then held high while the CompactFlash Storage Card is configured for I/O.
IOis8: the host sets this bit to a one (1) if the CompactFlash Storage Card is to be configured in an 8 bit I/O Mode. The

CompactFlash Storage Card is always configured for both 8 and 16 bit I/O, so this bit is ignored.
-XE: For CompactFlash cards that do not support Power Level 1, this bit has value 0 and is not writeable.
Audio:This bit should always be zero for CompactFlash Storage cards.
PwrDwn: this bit indicates whether the host requests the CompactFlash Storage Card to be in the power saving or active
mode. When the bit is one (1), the CompactFlash Storage Card enters a power down mode. When PwrDwn is
zero (0), the host is requesting the CompactFlash Storage Card enter the active mode. The PCMCIA READY
value becomes false (busy) when this bit is changed. READY shall not become true (ready) until the power state
requested has been entered. The CompactFlash Storage Card automatically powers down when it is idle and
powers back up when it receives a command.
Int: this bit represents the internal state of the interrupt request. This value is available whether or not the I/O interface has
been configured. This signal remains true until the condition that caused the interrupt request has been serviced. If
interrupts are disabled by the -IEN bit in the Device Control Register, this bit is a zero (0).
4.5 Pin Replacement Register (Base + 04h in Attribute Memory)
CReady: this bit is set to one (1) when the bit RReady changes state. This bit can also be written by the host.
CWProt: this bit is set to one (1) when the RWprot changes state. This bit may also be written by the host.
RReady: this bit is used to determine the internal state of the READY signal. This bit may be used to determine the state
of the READY signal as this pin has been reallocated for use as Interrupt Request on an I/O card. When written,
this bit acts as a mask (MReady) for writing the corresponding bit CReady.
WProt: this bit is always zero (0) since the CompactFlash Storage Card does not have a Write Protect switch. When
written, this bit acts as a mask for writing the corresponding bit CWProt.
MReady: this bit acts as a mask for writing the corresponding bit CReady.
MWProt: this bit when written acts as a mask for writing the corresponding bit CWProt.

4.6 Socket and Copy Register (Base + 06h in Attribute Memory)
This register contains additional configuration information. This register is always written by the system before writing
the card’s Configuration Index Register. This register is not required for CF Cards.
If present, it is optional for a CF Card to allow setting bit D4 (Drive number) to 1. If two drives are supported, it is
intended for use only when two cards are co-located at either the primary or secondary addresses in PCMCIA I/O mode.
The availability and capabilities of this register are described in the Card Information Structure of the CF Card.
Hosts shall not depend on the availability of this functionality.
Reserved: this bit is reserved for future standardization. This bit shall be set to zero (0) by the software when the register
is written.
Obsolete (Drive #): this bit is obsolete and should be written as 0.
If the obsolete functionality is not supported it shall be read as written or shall be read as 0. If the obsolete
functionality is supported, the bit shall be read as written. If supported, this bit sets the drive number, which the card
matches with the DRV bit of the Drive/Head register when configured in a twin card configuration.
It is recommended that the host always write 0 for the drive number in this register and in the DRV bit of the
Drive/Head register for PCMCIA modes of operation.
X: the socket number is ignored by the CompactFlash Storage Card.

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.

80X CompactFlash Card
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.
Notes: 1) Implemented for backward compatibility. Bit D7 of the register shall remain High Z to prevent conflict with any
floppy disk controller at the same address. The host software should not rely on the contents of this register.

4.10 Host Configuration Requirements for Master/Slave or New Timing Modes
The CF Advanced Timing modes include PCMCIA PC Card style I/O modes that are faster than the original 250
ns cycle time. These modes are not supported by the PCMCIA PC Card specification nor CF by cards based on
revisions of the CF specification before Revision 3.0. Hosts shall ensure that all cards accessed through a
common electrical interface are capable of operation at the desired, faster than 250 ns, I/O mode before
configuring the interface for that I/O mode.
Advanced Timing modes are PCMCIA PC Card style I/O modes that are 100 ns or faster, PC Card Memory
modes that are 100ns or faster, True IDE PIO Modes 5,6 and Multiword DMA Modes 3,4. These modes are
permitted to be used only when a single card is present and the host and card are connected directly, without a
cable exceeding 0.15m in length. Consequently, the host shall not configure a card into an Advanced Timing
Mode if two cards are sharing I/O lines, as in Master/Slave operation, nor if it is constructed such that a cable
exceeding 0.15 meters is required to connect the host to the card.
When the use of two cards on an interface is otherwise permitted, the host may use any mode that is supported
by both cards, but to achieve maximum performance it should use its highest performance mode that is also
supported by both cards.
5 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 is a detailed description of these
methods below:

Feature byte-wide registers, which lie at offset 1. When accessed twice as byte register with -CE1 low, the first byte to
be accessed is the even byte of the word and the second byte accessed is the odd byte of the equivalent word access.
2) A byte access to register 0 with -CE1 high and -CE2 low accesses the error (read) or feature (write) register.

5.2 Contiguous I/O Mapped Addressing
When the system decodes a contiguous block of I/O registers to select the CompactFlash Storage Card, the registers are
accessed in the block of I/O space decoded by the system as follows:
Table: Contiguous I/O Decoding
Notes:
1) Register 0 is accessed with -CE1 low and -CE2 low (and A0 = Don’t Care) as a word register on the combined Odd Data Bus and
Even Data Bus (D15-D0). This register may also be accessed by a pair of byte accesses to the offset 0 with -CE1 low and -CE2 high.
Note that the address space of this word register overlaps the address space of the Error and Feature byte-wide registers that lie at
offset
1. When accessed twice as byte register with -CE1 low, the first byte to be accessed is the even byte of the word and the second byte
accessed is the odd byte of the equivalent word access.
A byte access to register 0 with -CE1 high and -CE2 low accesses the error (read) or feature (write) register.
2) Registers at offset 8, 9 and D are non-overlapping duplicates of the registers at offset 0 and 1.
Register 8 is equivalent to register 0, while register 9 accesses the odd byte. Therefore, if the registers are byte accessed in the
order 9 then 8 the data shall be transferred odd byte then even byte.
Repeated byte accesses to register 8 or 0 shall access consecutive (even than odd) bytes from the data buffer. Repeated word
accesses to register 8, 9 or 0 shall access consecutive words from the data buffer. Repeated byte accesses to register 9 are not
supported. However, repeated alternating byte accesses to registers 8 then 9 shall access consecutive (even then odd) bytes from the
data buffer. Byte accesses to register 9 access only the odd byte of the data.
3) Address lines that are not indicated are ignored by the CompactFlash Storage Card for accessing all the registers in this table.

5.3 Memory Mapped Addressing
When the CompactFlash Storage Card registers are accessed via memory references, the registers appear in the
common memory space window: 0-2K bytes as follows:
Notes:
1) Register 0 is accessed with -CE1 low and -CE2 low as a word register on the combined Odd Data Bus and Even Data Bus (D15-D0).
This register may also be accessed by a pair of byte accesses to the offset 0 with -CE1 low and -CE2 high. Note that the address
space of this word register overlaps the address space of the Error and Feature byte-wide registers that lie at offset 1. When
accessed twice as byte register with -CE1 low, the first byte to be accessed is the even byte of the word and the second byte
accessed is the odd byte of the equivalent word access.
A byte access to address 0 with -CE1 high and -CE2 low accesses the error (read) or feature (write) register.
2) Registers at offset 8, 9 and D are non-overlapping duplicates of the registers at offset 0 and 1.Register 8 is equivalent to register 0,
while register 9 accesses the odd byte. Therefore, if the registers are byte accessed in the order 9 then 8 the data shall be
transferred odd byte then even byte.
Repeated byte accesses to register 8 or 0 shall access consecutive (even then odd) bytes from the data buffer. Repeated word
accesses to register 8, 9 or 0 shall access consecutive words from the data buffer. Repeated byte accesses to register 9 are not
supported. However, repeated alternating byte accesses to registers 8 then 9 shall access consecutive (even then odd) bytes from
the data buffer. Byte accesses to register 9 access only the odd byte of the data.
3) Accesses to even addresses between 400h and 7FFh access register 8. Accesses to odd addresses between 400h and 7FFh
access register 9. This 1 Kbyte memory window to the data register is provided so that hosts can perform memory to memory block
moves to the data register when the register lies in memory space.

Some hosts, such as the X86 processors, must increment both the source and destination addresses when executing the memory
to memory block move instruction. Some PCMCIA socket adapters also have auto incrementing address logic embedded within
them. This address window allows these hosts and adapters to function efficiently.
Note that this entire window accesses the Data Register FIFO and does not allow random access to the data buffer within the
CompactFlash Storage Card.
A word access to address at offset 8 shall provide even data on the low-order byte of the data bus, along with odd data at offset 9 on
the high-order byte of the data bus.
5.4 True IDE Mode Addressing
When the CompactFlash Storage Card is configured in the True IDE Mode, the I/O decoding is as follows:
Note: 1) See the section 6.1.5 CF-ATA Registers for information regarding the control of 8 or 16 bit transfers to the data register.
5.5 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.”
Note: In accordance with the PCMCIA specification: each of the registers below that is located at an odd offset address
may be accessed in the PC Card Memory or PC Card I/O modes at its normal address and also the corresponding even
address (normal address -1) using data bus lines (D15-D8) when -CE1 is high and -CE2 is low unless -IOIS16 is high (not
asserted by the card) and an I/O cycle is being performed.
In the True IDE mode of operation, the size of the transfer is based solely on the register being addressed. All registers
are 8 bit only except for the Data Register, which is normally 16 bits, but can be programmed to use 8 bit transfers for
Non-DMA operations through the use of the Set Features command. The data register is also 8 bits during a portion of the
Read Long and Write Long commands, which exist solely for historical reasons and should not be used.
5.5.1 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 Table: Data Register Access below describes the
combinations of data register access and is provided to assist in understanding the overlapped Data Register and
Error/Feature Register rather than to attempt to define general PCMCIA word and byte access modes and operations.
See the PCMCIA PC Card Standard, for further definitions of the Card Accessing Modes for I/O and Memory cycles.

Note: Because of the overlapped registers, PC Card modes access to the 1F1h, 171h or offset 1 are not defined for word
(-CE2 = 0 and -CE1 = 0) operations. These accesses are treated as accesses to the Word Data Register. The duplicated
registers at offsets 8, 9 and Dh have no restrictions on the operations that can be performed by the socket.
Table: Data Register Access
Notes: 1) -REG signal is mode dependent. Signal shall be 0 for I/O mode and 1 for Memory Mode.
5.5.2 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. The bits are defined as follows:
Figure: Error 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): this bit is set when a Bad Block is detected.
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.

5.5.3 Feature Register (Address - 1F1h[171h]; Offset 1, 0Dh Write Only)
This register provides information regarding features of the CompactFlash Storage Card that the host can utilize. This
register is also accessed in PC Card modes on data bits D15-D8 during a write operation to Offset 0 with -CE2 low and
-CE1 high.
5.5.4 Sector Count Register (Address - 1F2h[172h]; Offset 2)
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.
5.5.5 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.
5.5.6 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.
5.5.7 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.
5.5.8 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. The bits are defined as follows:
Figure: Drive/Head Register
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.

5.5.9 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:
Figure: Status & Alternate Status Register
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.
5.5.10 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 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 (see Section 4.3 to 4.7)
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.
5.5.11 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. The bits are defined as follows:
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.

5.6 CF-ATA Command Description
This section defines the software requirements and the format of the commands the host sends to the CompactFlash
Storage Cards. Commands are issued to the CompactFlash Storage Card by loading the required registers in the
command block with the supplied parameters, and then writing the command code to the Command Register. The
manner in which a command is accepted varies. There are three classes (see Table 38: CF-ATA Command Set) of
command acceptance, all dependent on the host not issuing commands unless the CompactFlash Storage Card is not
busy (BSY=0). All commands listed in this specification shall be implemented.
Upon receipt of a Class 1 command, the CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY within 400 nsec.
Upon receipt of a Class 2 command, the CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY within 400 nsec, sets up the sector
buffer for a write operation, sets DRQ within 700 µsec, and clears BSY within 400 nsec of setting DRQ.
Upon receipt of a Class 3 command, the CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY within 400nsec, sets up the sector
buffer for a write operation, sets DRQ within 20 msec (assuming no re-assignments), and clears BSY within 400
nsec of setting DRQ.

5.6.5 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

time.
Bits 5-1 have retired ATA bit definitions.
Bit 2 shall be 0.
Bit 0 is Reserved and shall be 0.
It is recommended that the value of bits 5-0 be either the preferred value of 00h or the value of 0Ah that
preserves the corresponding bits from the 848Ah CF signature value.

5.6.11 Read DMA – C8h
This command uses DMA mode to read from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the Sector Count register. A sector
count of 0 requests 256 sectors. The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number Register. When this
command is issued the CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY, puts all or part of the sector of data in the buffer. The Card
is then permitted, although not required, to set DRQ, clear BSY. The Card asserts DMAREQ while data is available to be
transferred. The Card asserts DMAREQ while data is available to be transferred. The host then reads the (512 *
sector-count) bytes of data from the Card using DMA. While DMAREQ is asserted by the Card, the Host asserts -DMACK
while it is ready to transfer data by DMA and asserts -IORD once for each 16 bit word to be transferred to the Host.
Interrupts are not generated on every sector, but upon completion of the transfer of the entire number of sectors to be
transferred or upon the occurrence of an unrecoverable error.
At command completion, the Command Block Registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the last
sector read. If an error occurs, the read terminates at the sector where the error occurred. The Command Block Registers
contain the cylinder, head, and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The amount of data transferred is
indeterminate.
When a Read DMA command is received by the Card and 8 bit transfer mode has been enabled by the Set Features
command, the Card shall return the Aborted error.

5.6.12 Read Multiple - C4h
Note: This specification requires that CompactFlash Cards support a multiple block count of 1 and permits larger values to be
supported.
The Read Multiple command performs similarly to the Read Sectors command. Interrupts are not generated on every
sector, but on the transfer of a block, which contains the number of sectors defined by a Set Multiple command.
Command execution is identical to the Read Sectors operation except that the number of sectors defined by a Set
Multiple command is transferred without intervening interrupts. DRQ qualification of the transfer is required only at the
start of the data block, not on each sector.
The block count of sectors to be transferred without intervening interrupts is programmed by the Set Multiple Mode
command, which shall be executed prior to the Read Multiple command. When the Read Multiple command is issued, the
Sector Count Register contains the number of sectors (not the number of blocks or the block count) requested. If the
number of requested sectors is not evenly divisible by the block count, as many full blocks as possible are transferred,
followed by a final, partial block transfer. The partial block transfer is for n sectors, where
n = (sector count) modulo (block count).
If the Read Multiple command is attempted before the Set Multiple Mode command has been executed or when Read
Multiple commands are disabled, the Read Multiple operation is rejected with an Aborted Command error. Disk errors
encountered during Read Multiple commands are posted at the beginning of the block or partial block transfer, but DRQ
is still set and the data transfer shall take place as it normally would, including transfer of corrupted data, if any.
Interrupts are generated when DRQ is set at the beginning of each block or partial block. The error reporting is the same
as that on a Read Sector(s) Command. This command reads from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the Sector Count
register. A sector count of 0 requests 256 sectors. The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number
Register.
At command completion, the Command Block Registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the last sector
read.
If an error occurs, the read terminates at the sector where the error occurred. The Command Block Registers contain the
cylinder, head and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The flawed data is pending in the sector buffer.
Subsequent blocks or partial blocks are transferred only if the error was a correctable data error. All other errors cause the
command to stop after transfer of the block that contained the error.

5.6.13 Read Sector(s) - 20h or 21h
This command reads from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the Sector Count register. A sector count of 0 requests 256
sectors. The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number Register. When this command is issued and
after each sector of data (except the last one) has been read by the host, the CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY, puts
the sector of data in the buffer, sets DRQ, clears BSY, and generates an interrupt. The host then reads the 512 bytes of
data from the buffer.
At command completion, the Command Block Registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the last sector
read. If an error occurs, the read terminates at the sector where the error occurred. The Command Block Registers
contain the cylinder, head, and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The flawed data is pending in the
sector buffer.
5.6.14 Read Verify Sector(s) - 40h or 41h
This command is identical to the Read Sectors command, except that DRQ is never set and no data is transferred to the
host. When the command is accepted, the CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY.
When the requested sectors have been verified, the CompactFlash Storage Card clears BSY and generates an interrupt.
Upon command completion, the Command Block Registers contain the cylinder, head, and sector number of the last
sector verified.
If an error occurs, the Read Verify Command terminates at the sector where the error occurs. The Command Block
Registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The Sector Count
Register contains the number of sectors not yet verified.

Features 01h and 81h are used to enable and clear 8 bit data transfer modes in True IDE Mode. If the 01h feature
command is issued all data transfers shall occur on the low order D[7:0] data bus and the -IOIS16 signal shall not be
asserted for data register accesses. The host shall not enable this feature for DMA transfers.
Features 02h and 82h allow the host to enable or disable write cache in CompactFlash Storage Cards that implement
write cache. When the subcommand disable write cache is issued, the CompactFlash Storage Card shall initiate the
sequence to flush cache to non-volatile memory before command completion.
Feature 03h allows the host to select the PIO or Multiword DMA transfer mode by specifying a value in the Sector
Count register. The upper 5 bits define the type of transfer and the low order 3 bits encode the mode value. One PIO
mode shall be selected at all times. For Cards which support DMA, one Multiword DMA mode shall be selected at all
times. The host may change the selected modes by the Set Features command.

5.6.19 Set Multiple Mode - C6h
This command enables the CompactFlash Storage Card to perform Read and Write Multiple operations and establishes
the block count for these commands. The Sector Count Register is loaded with the number of sectors per block. Upon
receipt of the command, the CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY to 1 and checks the Sector Count Register.
If the Sector Count Register contains a valid value and the block count is supported, the value is loaded and execution is
enabled for all subsequent Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands. If the block count is not supported, an Aborted
Command error is posted and the Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands are disabled. If the Sector Count Register
contains 0 when the command is issued, Read and Write Multiple commands are disabled. At power on, or after a
hardware or (unless disabled by a Set Feature command) software reset, the default mode is Read and Write Multiple
disabled.

5.6.20 Set Sleep Mode- 99h or E6h
This command causes the CompactFlash Storage Card to set BSY, enter the Sleep mode, clear BSY and generate an
interrupt. Recovery from sleep mode is accomplished by simply issuing another command (a reset is permitted but not
required). Sleep mode is also entered when internal timers expire so the host does not need to issue this command
except when it wishes to enter Sleep mode immediately. The default value for the timer is 5 milliseconds. Note that this
time base (5 msec) is different from the ATA Specification.
5.6.21 Standby - 96h or E2h
This command causes the CompactFlash Storage Card to set BSY, enter the Sleep mode (which corresponds to the ATA
“Standby” Mode), clear BSY and return the interrupt immediately. Recovery from sleep mode is accomplished by simply

80X CompactFlash Card
This command uses DMA mode to write from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the Sector Count register. A sector count of
0 requests 256 sectors. The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number Register. When this command
is issued the CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY, puts all or part of the sector of data in the buffer. The Card is then
permitted, although not required, to set DRQ, clear BSY. The Card asserts DMAREQ while data is available to be
transferred. The host then writes the (512 * sector-count) bytes of data to the Card using DMA. While DMAREQ is
asserted by the Card, the Host asserts -DMACK while it is ready to transfer data by DMA and asserts -IOWR once for
each 16 bit word to be transferred from the Host.
Interrupts are not generated on every sector, but upon completion of the transfer of the entire number of sectors to be
transferred or upon the occurrence of an unrecoverable error.
At command completion, the Command Block Registers contain the cylinder, head and sector number of the last sector
read. If an error occurs, the read terminates at the sector where the error occurred. The Command Block Registers
contain the cylinder, head, and sector number of the sector where the error occurred. The amount of data transferred is
indeterminate.
When a Write DMA command is received by the Card and 8 bit transfer mode has been enabled by the Set Features
command, the Card shall return the Aborted error.
5.6.27 Write Multiple Command - C5h
Note: This specification requires that CompactFlash Cards support a multiple block count of 1 and permits larger values
to be supported.
This command is similar to the Write Sectors command. The CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY within 400 nsec of
accepting the command. Interrupts are not presented on each sector but on the transfer of a block that contains the
number of sectors defined by Set Multiple. Command execution is identical to the Write Sectors operation except that the
number of sectors defined by the Set Multiple command is transferred without intervening interrupts.
DRQ qualification of the transfer is required only at the start of the data block, not on each sector.The block count of
sectors to be transferred without intervening interrupts is programmed by the Set Multiple Mode command, which shall be
executed prior to the Write Multiple command.
When the Write Multiple command is issued, the Sector Count Register contains the number of sectors (not the number
of blocks or the block count) requested. If the number of requested sectors is not evenly divisible by the block count, as
many full blocks as possible are transferred, followed by a final, partial block transfer. The partial block transfer is for n
sectors, where:
n = (sector count) modulo (block count).
If the Write Multiple command is attempted before the Set Multiple Mode command has been executed or when Write
Multiple commands are disabled, the Write Multiple operation shall be rejected with an aborted command error.

Errors encountered during Write Multiple commands are posted after the attempted writes of theblock or partial block
transferred. The Write command ends with the sector in error, even if it is in the middle of a block. Subsequent blocks are
not transferred in the event of an error. Interrupts are generated when DRQ is set at the beginning of each block or partial
block.
The Command Block Registers contain the cylinder, head and sector numbers of the sector where the error occurred. The
Sector Count Register contains the residual number of sectors that need to be transferred for successful completion of
the command, e.g., each block has 4 sectors, a request for 8 sectors is issued and an error occurs on the third sector. The
Sector Count Register contains 6 and the address is that of the third sector.
5.6.28 Write Multiple without Erase – CDh
This command is similar to the Write Multiple command with the exception that an implied erase before write operation is
not performed. The sectors should be pre-erased with the Erase Sector(s) command before this command is issued.
5.6.29 Write Sector(s) - 30h or 31h
This command writes from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the Sector Count Register. A sector count of zero requests 256
sectors. The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number Register. When this command is accepted, the
CompactFlash Storage Card sets BSY, then sets DRQ and clears BSY, then waits for the host to fill the sector buffer with
the data to be written. No interrupt is generated to start the first host transfer operation. No data should be transferred by
the host until BSY has been cleared by the host.
For multiple sectors, after the first sector of data is in the buffer, BSY shall be set and DRQ shall be cleared. After the next
buffer is ready for data, BSY is cleared, DRQ is set and an interrupt is generated. When the final sector of data is
transferred, BSY is set and DRQ is cleared. It shall remain in this state until the command is completed at which time BSY
is cleared and an interrupt is generated.
