PCD-100A CompactFlash™ Card Provides Great IDE Solid-state Storage for Embedded Systems

Advantech's new PCD-100A series of CompactFlash™ cards has replaced the phased-out PCD-100 series previously offered. The PCD-100A series represents a logical progression in the CompactFlash™ product market, mainly centered around increased memory capacities and a wider range of application uses. Advantech products reflect the latest advances in a variety of embedded and SBC technology, all of which cater to the needs of our customers.

Small and Rugged IDE Hard Disk Drive

The PCD-100A CompactFlash™ series can be used just like an IDE hard drive. No software driver is needed which greatly simplifies system integration and flexibility. Memory size goes from 4 MB all the way up to 128 MB, offering increased memory capacity while providing a greater range of memory choices. And of course, these solid-state devices can operate in environments that would destroy conventional HDDs. Some Advantech SBCs with onboard IDE interface CompactFlash sockets are the PCM-3345, PCM-3346F, PCM-5820 as well as the PCA-6751 to name a few.

Making it Easy

Let us remind everyone that the PCM-3835 IDE Flash disk module is a perfect way to integrate solid-state CompactFlash technology into existing systems. With this board, CPU boards that do not have an onboard CompactFlash socket, such as the PCM-5862E, can use this neat PC/104 module to add a storage device. It is a simple but effective solution, and as CompactFlash memory capacity increases, we are finding more customers taking advantage of this option. Perfect for high-vibration and other harsh operating environments.Go here to find out more about the PCM-3835.
