Summary description
Summary description
The CompactFlash is a small form factor non-volatile memory card which provides high
capacity data storage. Its aim is to capture, retain and transport data, audio and images,
facilitating the transfer of all types of digital information between a large variety of digital
systems.
The Card operates in three basic modes:
●
PCMCIA I/O mode
●
PCMCIA memory mode
●
True IDE mode
The CompactFlash also supports Advanced Timing modes. Advanced Timing modes are
PCMCIA style I/O modes that are 100ns or faster, PCMCIA Memory modes that are 100ns
or faster, True IDE PIO Modes 5,6 and Multi-Word DMA Modes 3,4.
It conforms to the PC Card Specification when operating in the PCMCIA I/O mode, and in
the PCMCIA Memory mode (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association
standard, JEIDA in Japan), and to the ATA specification when operating in True IDE Mode.
CompactFlash Cards can be used with passive adapters in a PC-Card Type II or Type III
socket.
The Card has an internal intelligent controller which manages interface protocols, data
storage and retrieval as well as hardware RS-code Error Correction Code (ECC), defect
handling, diagnostics and clock control. Once the Card has been configured by the host, it
behaves as a standard ATA (IDE) disk drive. The hardware RS-code ECC allows to detect
and correct 4 Bytes per 528 Bytes.
The Card has a super Cap on VCC and a powerful power-loss management feature to
prevent data corruption after power-down.
The specification has been realized and approved by the CompactFlash Association (CFA).
This non-proprietary specification enables users to develop CF products that function
correctly and are compatible with future CF design.
The system highlights are shown in Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7.

Electrical description
The CompactFlash Memory Card operates in three basic modes:
●
PC Card ATA using I/O Mode
●
PC Card ATA using Memory Mode
●
True IDE Mode, which is compatible with most disk drives
The signal/pin assignments are listed in Table 8 Low active signals have a ‘–’ prefix. Pin
types are Input, Output or Input/Output.
The configuration of the Card is controlled using the standard PCMCIA configuration
registers starting at address 200h in the Attribute Memory space of the memory card.
Table 9 describes the I/O signals. Inputs are signals sourced from the host while Outputs
are signals sourced from the Card. The signals are described for each of the three operating
modes.
All outputs from the Card are totem pole except the data bus signals that are bi-directional
tri-state. Refer to the section titled “Electrical Specifications” for definitions of Input and
Output type.

1. For True IDE Mode, pin 9 is grounded.
2. The signal should be grounded by the host.
3. 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.
4. The signal should be tied to VCC by the host.
5. The -CSEL signal is ignored by the Card in PC Card modes. However, because it is not pulled up on the Card in these
modes it should not be left floating by the host in PC Card modes. In these modes, the pin is normally connected by the
host to PC Card A25 or grounded by the host.
6. When the device does not operate in DMA mode, the signal should be held High or tied to VCC by the host. To ensure
proper operation with older hosts when DMA mode is disabled, the Card should ignore the –DMACK signal.

–INPACK
(PC Card I/O Mode)
The Input Acknowledge is asserted when the Card is
selected and responding to an I/O read cycle at the current
address on the bus. It is used by the host to control the
enable of any input data buffers between the Card and
CPU.
DMARQ
(True IDE Mode)
The DMARQ input signal is used to request a DMA data
transfer between the host and the Card. It is asserted to
notify that the Card is ready to transfer data to or from the
host. For Multi-Word DMA transfers, the direction of data
transfer is controlled by -IORD and -IOWR.
DMARQ is used in conjunction with –DMACK to perform
handshaking: the Card waits until –DMACK has been
asserted by the host to de-assert DMARQ, and re-assert it
again if there is still data to be transferred (see
Section 10.10).
DMARQ is not driven when the Card is not selected.
If the host does not support DMA mode, DMARQ should be
left unconnected.

Additional requirements for CompactFlash Advanced Timing
mode
When operating in a CompactFlash Advanced timing mode, the following conditions must be
respected:
●
Only one CompactFlash Card must be connected to the CompactFlash bus.
●
The load capacitance (cable included) for all signals must be lower than 40pF.
●
The cable length must be lower than 0.15m (6inches). The cable length is measured
from the Card connector to the host controller. 0.46m (18inches) cables are not
supported.

Command Interface
There are two types of bus cycles and timing sequences that occur in the PCMCIA type
interface, direct mapped I/O transfer and memory access. Two types of bus cycles are also
available in True IDE interface type: PIO transfer and Multi-Word DMA transfer.
Table 16, Table 17, Table 18, Table 19, Table 20, Table 21 and Table 22 show the read and
write timing parameters. Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure and
Figure 8 show the read and write timing diagrams.
In order to set the card mode, the -OE (-ATASEL) signal must be set and kept stable before
applying VCC until the reset phase is completed. To place the card in Memory mode or I/O
mode, -OE(-ATASEL) must be driven High, while it must be driven Low to place the card in
True IDE mode.

True IDE mode
The timing waveforms for True IDE mode and True IDE DMA mode of operation in this
section are drawn using the conventions in the ATA-4 specification, which are different than
the conventions used in the PCMCIA specification and earlier versions of this specification.
Signals are shown with their asserted state as High regardless of whether the signal is
actually negative or positive true. Consequently, the -IORD, the -IOWR and the -IOCS16
signals are shown in the waveforms inverted from their electrical states on the bus.

1. The maximum load on -IOCS16 is 1 LSTTL with a 50pF total load.
2. 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 have to 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 drive data. A CompactFlash Memory
Card implementation should support any legal host implementation.
3. This parameter specifies the time from the falling edge of -IORD to the moment when the data bus is no longer driven by the
CompactFlash Memory Card (tri-state).
4. t7 and t8 apply only to modes 0, 1 and 2. The -IOCS16 signal is not valid for other modes.

1. t0 is the minimum total cycle time. tD is the minimum command active time. tKR and tKW are the minimum command
recovery time or command inactive time for input and output cycles, respectively. The actual cycle time is the sum of the
actual command active time and the actual command inactive time. The timing requirements of t0, tD, tKR, and tKW must be
respected. t0 is higher than tD + tKR or tD + tKW, for input and output cycles respectively. This means the host can lengthen
either tD or tKR/tKW, or both, to ensure that t0 is equal to or higher than the value reported in the device’s identify device
data. A CompactFlash Storage Card implementation shall support any legal host implementation.

Card Configuration
Card Configuration
The CompactFlash Memory Card is identified by information in the Card Information
Structure (CIS). The Card has four configuration registers (Table 24 and Table 25).
●
Configuration Option Register
●
Pin Replacement Register
●
Card Configuration and Status Register
●
Socket and Copy Register
They are used to coordinate the I/O spaces and the Interrupt level of cards that are located
in the system. In addition, in I/O Card mode these registers provide a method for accessing
status information that would normally appear on dedicated pins in Memory Card mode.
The base address of the card configuration registers is 200h in the Attribute Memory space.
No write operation should be performed to the attribute memory area except for the
configuration register addresses. All other attribute memory locations are reserved. See
Section 6.5: Attribute Memory Function.

6.1
Configuration Option Register (200h in Attribute Memory)
The Configuration Option Register is used to configure the Card’s interface, address
decoding and interrupt to the Card (see Table 26).
6.1.1
SRESET
Setting the SRESET bit to ‘1’ and returning the bit ‘0’ places the CompactFlash Storage
Card in the Reset state. Setting this bit to ‘1’ is equivalent to asserting the RESET signal
except that the SRESET bit is not cleared. Returning the SRESET bit to ‘0’ leaves the
CompactFlash Storage Card in the same un-configured Reset state as after a power-up and
hardware reset.
This bit is set to ‘0’ at power-up and taking the Card through a hardware reset.
6.1.2
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) after Power Up.
6.1.3
Conf5 - Conf0 (Configuration Index)
These bits are used to select the operation mode of the Card as shown in Table 27. This bit
is set to ‘0’ after Power Up.

Card Configuration and Status Register (202h in Attribute
Memory)
The Card Configuration and Status Register contains information about the Card’s status
(see Table 28).
6.2.1
Changed
Indicates that one or both of the Pin Replacement register (CRDY, or CWProt) bits are set to
‘1’. When the Changed bit is set, –STSCHG (Pin 46) is held Low and if the SigChg bit is ‘1’
the Card is configured for the I/O interface.
6.2.2
SigChg
This bit is set and reset by the host to enable and disable a state-change signal from the
Status Register (issued on Status Changed pin 46). If no state change signal is desired, this
bit should be set ‘0’ and pin 46 (–STSCHG) will be held High while the Card is configured for
I/O.
6.2.3
IOis8
The host sets this bit to ‘1’ if the Card is to be configured in 8 bit I/O Mode. The Card is
always configured for both 8 and 16 bit I/O, so this bit is ignored.
6.2.4
PwrDwn
This bit indicates whether the Card is in the power saving mode or active mode. When the
PwrDwn bit is set to ‘1’, the Card enters power down mode. When set to ‘0’, the Card enters
active mode. The READY value on Pin Replacement Register becomes BUSY when this bit
is changed. READY will not become Ready until the power state requested has been
entered. The Card automatically powers down when it is idle and powers back up when it
receives a command.
6.2.5
Int
This bit represents the internal state of the interrupt request. It is available whether or not
the I/O interface has been configured. It remains valid until the condition which caused the
interrupt request has been serviced. If interrupts are disabled by the –IEN bit in the Device
Control Register, this bit is ‘0’.

This bit is set to '1' when the bit RWProt changes state. This bit can also be written by the
host.
6.3.3
RReady
This bit is used to determine the internal state of the Ready signal. In I/O mode it is used as
an interrupt request. When written, this bit acts as a mask (MReady) for writing the
corresponding bit CReady.
6.3.4
WProt
This bit is always ‘0’ since the CompactFlash Memory Card does not have a Write Protect
switch. When written, this bit acts as a mask for writing the corresponding CWProt bit.

Attribute Memory Function
Attribute memory is a space where identification and configuration information are stored.
Only 8 bit wide accesses at even addresses can be performed in this area. The Card
configuration registers are also located in the Attribute Memory area, at base address 200h.
Attribute memory is not accessible in True IDE mode of operation.
For the Attribute Memory Read function, signals –REG and –OE must be active and –WE
inactive during the cycle. As in the Main Memory Read functions, the signals –CE1 and –
CE2 control the even and odd Byte address, but only the even Byte data is valid during the
Attribute Memory access. Refer to Table 32 for signal states and bus validity.

I/O Transfer Function
The I/O transfer to or from the Card can be either 8 or 16 bits. When a 16 bit accessible
port is addressed, the –IOIS16 signal is asserted by the Card, otherwise it is de-asserted.
When a 16 bit transfer is attempted, and the –IOIS16 signal is not asserted, the system must
generate a pair of 8 bit references to access the Word’s even and odd Bytes. The Card
permits both 8 and 16 bit accesses to all of its I/O addresses, so –IOIS16 is asserted for all
addresses (see Table 33).

True IDE Mode I/O Function
The Card can be configured in a True IDE Mode of operation. It is configured in this mode
only when the –OE signal is grounded by the host during the power off to power on cycle. In
this True IDE Mode the PCMCIA protocol and configuration are disabled and only I/O
operations to the Task File and Data Register are allowed. No Memory or Attribute Registers
are accessible to the host. The Set Feature Command can be used to put the device in 8 bit
Mode (see Table 35).
Removing and reinserting the Card while the host computer’s power is on will reconfigure
the Card to PC Card ATA mode.

Host configuration requirements
The CompactFlash Advanced Timing modes include PCMCIA-style I/O modes that are
faster than the original 250 ns cycle time (see Section 1: Summary description).
Before configuring the Card interface for the I/O mode, the host must ensure that all the
cards connected to a given electrical interface support I/O transfers faster than 250ns.
These modes must be used in the conditions described in Section 4.4. In particular, the host
can be connected to one card only. Consequently, the host must not configure a card to
operate in an CompactFlash Advanced Timing mode if two cards are sharing the same I/O
lines in Master/Slave operation, or if it is connected to the card through a cable which length
exceeds 0.15m.

CF-ATA Drive Register Set Definition and Protocol
The CompactFlash Memory Card can be configured as a high performance I/O device
through:
●
Standard PC-AT disk I/O address spaces
–
1F0h-1F7h, 3F6h-3F7h (primary);
–
170h-177h, 376h-377h (secondary) with IRQ 14 (or other available IRQ).
●
Any system decoded 16 Byte I/O block using any available IRQ.
●
Memory space.
Communication to or from the Card is done using the Task File registers which provide all
the necessary registers for control and status information. The PCMCIA interface connects
peripherals to the host using four-register mapping methods. Table 36 is a detailed
description of these methods:

Memory Mapped Addressing
When the Card registers are accessed via memory references, the registers appear in the
common memory space window: 0-2KBytes as shown in Table 37 This window accesses
the Data Register FIFO. It does not allow random access to the data buffer within the Card.
Register 0 is accessed with –CE1 and –CE2 Low, as a Word register on the combined Odd
and Even Data Bus (D15 to D0). It can also be accessed with –CE1 Low and –CE2 High, by
a pair of Byte accesses to offset 0. The address space of this Word register overlaps the
address space of the Error and Feature Byte-wide registers at offset 1. When accessed
twice as Byte register with –CE1 Low, the first Byte is the even Byte of the Word and the
second is the odd Byte. A Byte access to address 0 with –CE1 High and –CE2 Low
accesses the Error (read) or Feature (write) register.
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 will be transferred odd Byte
then even Byte. Repeated Byte accesses to register 8 or 0 will access consecutive (even
then odd) Bytes from the data buffer. Repeated Word accesses to register 8, 9 or 0 will
access consecutive Words from the data buffer, however repeated Byte accesses to register
9 are not supported. Repeated alternating Byte accesses to registers 8 then 9 will access
consecutive (even then odd) Bytes from the data buffer.
43/91
Software interface
SMCxxxBF
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 an
embedded auto incrementing address logic.
A Word access to address at offset 8 will provide even data on the least significant Byte of
the data bus, along with odd data at offset 9 on the most significant Byte of the data bus.

Contiguous I/O Mapped Addressing
When the system decodes a contiguous block of I/O registers to select the Card, the
registers are accessed in the block of I/O space decoded by the system as shown in
Table 38
As for the Memory Mapped Addressing, register 0 is accessed with –CE1 Low and –CE2
Low (and A0 don’t Care) as a Word register on the combined Odd and Even Data Bus (D15
to D0). This register may also be accessed with –CE1 Low and –CE2 High, by a pair of Byte
accesses to offset 0. The address space of this Word register overlaps the address space of
the Error and Feature Byte-wide registers at offset 1. When accessed twice as Byte register
with –CE1 Low, the first Byte is the even Byte of the Word and the second is the odd Byte. A
Byte access to register 0 with –CE1 High and –CE2 Low accesses the error (read) or
feature (write) register.
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 will be transferred odd Byte
then even Byte. Repeated Byte accesses to register 8 or 0 will access consecutive (even
than odd) Bytes from the data buffer. Repeated Word accesses to register 8, 9 or 0 will
access consecutive Words from the data buffer, however repeated Byte accesses to register
9 are not supported. Repeated alternating Byte accesses to registers 8 then 9 will access
consecutive (even then odd) Bytes from the data buffer.

I/O Primary and Secondary Address Configurations
When the system decodes the Primary and Secondary Address Configurations, the
registers are accessed in the block of I/O space as shown in Table 39
As for the Memory Mapped Addressing, register 0 is accessed with –CE1 Low and –CE2
Low (and A0 don’t Care) as a Word register on the combined Odd and Even Data Bus (D15
to D0). This register may also be accessed with –CE1 Low and –CE2 High, by a pair of Byte
accesses to offset 0. The address space of this Word register overlaps the address space of
the Error and Feature Byte-wide registers at offset 1. When accessed twice as Byte register
with –CE1 Low, the first Byte is the even Byte of the Word and the second is the odd Byte. A
Byte access to register 0 with –CE1 High and –CE2 Low accesses the error (read) or
feature (write) register.

CF-ATA registers
The following section describes the hardware registers used by the host software to issue
commands to the Card. These registers are collectively referred to as the ‘task file’.
In accordance with the PCMCIA specification, each register that is located at an odd offset
address can be accessed in the PC Card Memory or PC Card I/O modes. The register can
be addressed in two ways:
●
Using the normal register address.
●
Using the corresponding even address (normal address -1) when -CE1 is High and CE2 Low, unless -IOIS16 is High (not asserted by the card) and an I/O cycle is in
progress. Register data are input or output on data bus lines D15-D8.
In True IDE mode, 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. However,
they can be configured to be accessed in 8-bit mode for non-DMA operations, by using a
Set Features command (see Section 10.17).
9.1
Data Register
The Data register is located at address 1F0h [170h], offset 0h, 8h, and 9h.
The Data Register is a 16 bit register used to transfer data blocks between the Card data
buffer and the Host. This register overlaps the Error Register. Table 41 and Table 42
describes the combinations of Data register access and explains the overlapped Data and
Error/Feature Registers. Because of the overlapped registers, access to the 1F1h, 171h or
offset 1 are not defined for Word (–CE2 and –CE1 set to ‘0’) operations, and 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.

Status & Alternate Status Registers
The Status & Alternate Status registers are located at addresses 1F7h [177h] and 3F6h
[376h], respectively. Offsets are 7h and Eh.
These registers return the Card status when read by the host.
Reading the Status Register clears a pending interrupt. Reading the Auxiliary Status
Register does not clear a pending interrupt.
The Status Register should be accessed in Byte mode; in Word mode it is recommended
that Alternate Status Register is used. The status bits are described as follows
9.9.1
Bit 7 (BUSY)
The busy bit is set when only the Card can access the command register and buffer, The
host is denied access. No other bits in this register are valid when this bit is set to ‘1’.
9.9.2
Bit 6 (RDY)
This bit indicates whether the device is capable of performing CompactFlash Memory Card
operations. This bit is cleared at power up and remains cleared until the Card is ready to
accept a command.
9.9.3
Bit 5 (DWF)
When set this bit indicates a Write Fault has occurred.
9.9.4
Bit 4 (DSC)
This bit is set when the Card is ready.
9.9.5
Bit 3 (DRQ)
The Data Request is set when the Card requires information be transferred either to or from
the host through the Data register. The bit is cleared by the next command.
9.9.6
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.
9.9.7

Device Control Register
The Device COntrol register is located at address 3F6h [376h], offset Eh.
This Write-only register is used to control the CompactFlash Memory 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:
9.10.1
Bit 7 to 3
Don’t care. The host should reset this bit to ‘0’.
9.10.2
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 clears Status Register and writes Diagnostic Code in

CF-ATA command description
CF-ATA command description
This section defines the software requirements and the format of the commands the Host
sends to the Card. Commands are issued to the Card by loading the required registers in
the command block with the supplied parameters, and then writing the command code to
the Command Register. There are three classes of command acceptance, all dependent on
the host not issuing commands unless the Card is not busy (BSY is ‘0’).
●
Class 1:Upon receipt of a Class 1 command, the Card sets BSY within 400ns.
●
Class 2:Upon receipt of a Class 2 command, the Card sets BSY within 400ns, sets up
the sector buffer for a write operation, sets DRQ within 700µs, and clears BSY within
400ns of setting DRQ.
●
Class 3:Upon receipt of a Class 3 command, the Card sets BSY within 400ns, sets up
the sector buffer for a write operation, sets DRQ within 20ms (assuming no reassignments), and clears BSY within 400ns of setting DRQ.
For reasons of backward compatibility some commands are implemented as ‘no operation’
NOP.

Check Power Mode (98h or E5h)
This command checks the power mode.
Issuing the command while the Card is in Standby mode, is about to enter Standby, or is
exiting Standby, the command will set BSY, set the Sector Count Register to 00h, clear BSY
and generate an interrupt.
Issuing the command when the Card is in Idle mode will set BSY, set the Sector Count
Register to FFh, clear BSY and generate an interrupt.

Execute Drive Diagnostic (90h)
This command performs the internal diagnostic tests implemented by the Card.
In PCMCIA configuration, this command only runs on the Card which is addressed by the
Drive/Head register when the command is issued. This is because PCMCIA Card interface
does not allow for direct inter-drive communication.
In 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 the status for both devices.
Table 50 defines the Execute Drive Diagnostic command Byte sequence. The Diagnostic
codes shown in Table 51 are returned in the Error Register at the end of the command.

Identify Drive (ECh)
The Identify Drive command enables the host to receive parameter information from the
Card. This command has the same protocol as the Read Sector(s) command. Table 53
defines the Identify Drive command Byte sequence. All reserved bits or Words are zero.
Table 54 shows the definition of each field in the Identify Drive Information.
10.4.1
Word 0: General Configuration
This field indicates the general characteristics of the device.
The default value for Word 0 is set to 848Ah. It is recommended that PCMCIA modes of
operation report only the 848Ah value as they are always intended as removable devices.
Alternate Configuration Values for Word 0 is 044Ah.
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

CF-ATA command description
Read DMA (C8h)
This command uses Multi-Word DMA mode to read from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the
Sector Count register. If the sector count is set to ‘0’, 256 sectors will be read by issuing a
Read DMA command.
Data transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number Register. When the Read
DMA command is issued, the CompactFlash Card asserts BSY, and transfers all or part of
the sector data in the buffer. The Card can then set DRQ and clear BSY, although it is not
required.
The Card asserts DMARQ when data are available to be transferred. The host then reads
the 512*sector-count Bytes of data from the Card using DMA protocol. When DMARQ is
asserted, the host asserts -DMACK to notify it is ready to transfer data, and asserts -IORD
once for each 16 bit Word to be transferred.
Interrupts are not generated for each sector transfer, but when all sectors have been
transferred or when an error occurred during the operation.
An Abort error is returned by the Card when a Read DMA command is sent by the host and
the 8-bit transfer mode has been enabled by the Set Features command.

Read Multiple (C4h)
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 are 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 must 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) module (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 will 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.
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 are 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 which contained
the error.

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 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.
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 are pending in the sector buffer. Table 62 defines

Read Verify Sector(s) (40h or 41h)
This command is identical to the Read Sectors command, except that DRQ is never set and

When the requested sectors have been verified, the Card clears BSY and generates an
interrupt.
If an error occurs, the verify 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.

Set Features (EFh)
This command is used by the host to establish or select certain features. Table 68 shows the
Set Features command Byte sequence. Table 69 defines all features that are supported.
72/91
●
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 will occur on the D7D0 data lines and the –IOIS16 signal will not be asserted for data register accesses.
The host must not enable this feature for DMA transfers.
●
Feature 03h allows the host to select the PIO or the Multi-Word DMA transfer mode.
The number of sectors to be transferred must be specified in the Sector Count register
(see Table 70 for values). The upper 5 bits define the type of transfer and the lower 3
bits encode the transfer mode. Only one PIO mode and one Multi-Word mode can be
selected at a time. The host can change the selected mode by issuing the Set Features
command.
●
Feature code 9Ah allows the host to configure the Card to best meet the host system
power requirements. The host programs the Sector Count register to a value that is
equal to one-fourth of the desired maximum average current (in mA) that the Card
should consume. For example, if the Sector Count register is set to ‘6’, the Card must
be configured to provide the best possible performance without exceeding 24 mA.
Upon completion of the command, the Card replies to the host with the range of values
that it supports. The minimum value is set in the Cylinder Low Register, and the
maximum value is set in the Cylinder Hi register. After power-up, the Card defaults to
operate at the highest performance and therefore in the highest current mode. Values
outside this programmable range are accepted by the card. However, the Card will
operate either at the lowest power or highest performance as appropriate.

Set Multiple Mode (C6h)
This command enables the 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 Card sets BSY 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 for all subsequent Read Multiple and Write Multiple commands and
execution is enabled. If a block count is not supported, an Aborted Command error is
posted, and 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 the default mode is Read and Write Multiple disabled, unless it is
disabled by a Set Feature command. Table 71 defines the Set Multiple Mode command Byte
sequence.

Set Sleep Mode (99h or E6h)
This command causes the CompactFlash Memory 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. 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 (5ms)
is different from the ATA Specification. Table 72 defines the Set Sleep Mode command Byte

Write DMA (CAh)
This command uses DMA mode to write from 1 to 256 sectors as specified in the Sector
Count register. If the sector count is set to ‘0’, 256 sectors will be read by issuing a Read
DMA command.
The transfer begins at the sector specified in the Sector Number Register. When the Write
DAM command is issued, the CompactFlash Storage Card asserts BSY and transfers all or
part of the sector data in the buffer. The Card can then set DRQ and clear BSY, although it is
not required.
The Card asserts DMARQ when data are available to be transferred. The host then writes
the 512*sector-count Bytes of data to the Card using the DMA protocol. When DMARQ is
asserted by the Card, the host asserts -DMACK to notify that it is ready to transfer data, and
asserts -IOWR once for each 16 bit Word to be transferred.
Interrupts are not generated for each sector transfer, but when all sectors have been
transferred or when an error occurred during the operation.
An Abort error is returned by the Card when a Write DMA command is sent by the host and
the 8-bit transfer mode has been enabled by the Set Features command.

CF-ATA command description
Write Multiple Command (C5h)
This command is similar to the Write Sectors command. The Card sets BSY within 400ns of
accepting the command. Interrupts are not presented on each sector but on the transfer of a
block which 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 must 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 sector/block, 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) module (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
will be rejected with an aborted command error.
Errors encountered during Write Multiple commands are posted after the attempted writes
of the block 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 number of the sector
where the error occurred and the Sector Count Register contains the residual number of
sectors that need to be transferred for successful completion of the command. For example,
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.
Note: The current revision of the CompactFlash Memory Card only supports a block count
of 1 as indicated in the Identify Drive Command information. The Write Multiple command is
provided for compatibility with future products which may support a larger block count.

This command is similar to the Write Multiple command with the exception that an implied

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 Card sets BSY, 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 will be set and DRQ will
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 will remain in this state until the command is completed at which time BSY is
cleared and an interrupt is generated. If an error occurs during a write of more than one
sector, writing 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 host may then read the command block to determine what error has
occurred, and on which sector. Table 82 defines the Write Sector(s) command Byte
sequence.
