Datasheet

Swissbit has christened its new CompactFlash card the C-300 Longevity with good reason. The product’s long-term availability will take it through to at least 2021. The card targets applications in the telecommunications and networking market as well as applications requiring maximum longevity due to time-consuming and cost-intensive re-qualification processes.

The feature set includes an optimised random write speed and backward compatibility. The card also offers a fixed BOM (bill of material) and an extra-long transition phase of at least 24 months between PCN/EOL notification and the last shipment.

With TRUE IDE and PC card modes, the CompactFlash card delivers optimum backward compatibility to older systems, protocols and interfaces. It also features a high random write speed of more than 150 Kbyte/second.

The use of the most reliable SLC NAND flash technology available plus integrated power fail safety guarantee the best possible data reliability. Thanks to its sophisticated diagnostic functions, including detailed status information through the enhanced S.M.A.R.T. interface and the Life Time Monitoring Tool, the user is always aware of the CompactFlash(TM) card's current status which helps eliminate unexpected downtime.

High quality is guaranteed through carefully selected materials and comprehensive quality tests alongside the highest manufacturing standards. Customers hence benefit from a very low TCO (total cost of ownership).

The memory card is available in densities from 32MB up to 8GB and in both commercial (0°C-70°C) and industrial temperature range (-40°C-85°C). Samples are already available for purchase; mass production is scheduled to begin within Q2/2014.
