Apacer Introducing 6th-Gen CF Industrial Cards Up to 128GB

Among many varieties of memory devices,
CF cards are popular for embedded devices in such fields as medical,
military, gaming, automotive and POS applications to date due to
their cost effectiveness, reliability and stability.

The sixth-generation of CF memory cards
launched by Apacer Technology Inc.
in 2013 boosts the transmission efficiency up to 115/80MB/s,
realizing the speed of SATA interface when compared with its
predecessors.

It also expands its capacity up to 128GB, making
it a choice for industrial computer and automatic storage.

These CF memory cards takes built-in value-added functions and other
features of SLC and MLC as its main axis, and adopts the standard
50-pin connector. The data transfer mode is up to PIO-6, Multi-Word
DMA-4 and Ultra DMA-6, all of which are compliant with the CFA 6.0
specifications. Thanks to its PCMCIA-ATA function and compatibility
that support 5V or 3.3V power supply, the CF memory cards provide
convenience in terms of matching with systems and expansion of
capacity.

In respect of ensuring data security,
the industrial CF6-Premium product provides write protect function.

Jeff Lin, the embedded application
product division director of Apacer, indicated: ”The Premium
series (built-in value-added functions) of the sixth-generation CF
memory cards are designed with a lock switch in a lower position so
that customers can lock the CF memory cards prior to delivery of the
system. Users can only read rather than write the data, thus helping
prevent accidental deletion of data caused by careless operation and
protect confidential data against vicious tampering.”

Apart from a SLC chip, a high-capacity
and low-cost MLC chip is also available for these CF memory cards. Both the two series of products can
run under wide-temp (-40°C -85°C) environments, enabling
the system to access data reliably at scorching or low
temperatures, which guarantees the service life of products. In order
to enhance the accuracy of data, the cards
also support the 72-bit ECC function, wear-leveling function and
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology).

Firmware
and major components of Apacer can be fixed upon customer’s
recognition and verification, which reduces the risk of out-of-stock
and compatibility issues by offering supply and high reliability to
customers. The company has been recognized by Tier-1 tech giants in
the U.S. and Japan, and secured its position as one of the top 10 PC
SSD suppliers around the globe.

Samples of Apacer’s CF6 industrial
memory cards are available to run test.
