CompactFlash™ PATA card

CompactFlash cards are still popular in embedded and industrial systems with PATA/IDE interface. Swissbit offers continuous support of this form factor in multiple densities. The most recent models C-500 and C-56 offer advanced page based flash management which increases both write performance and endurance especially in data logging applications.
All Swissbit CompactFlash cards can operate in the wide temperature range -40°C to 85°C. The cards are shock and vibration proof, and the firmware optimizes the wear out and protects from data corruption at power loss.
