Pretec's Linear Flash card is a PC card flash memory format used in network routers, load-balance equipments and telecoms equipments. Linear Flash card is different from SRAM Card because it requires no battery support, and features read/write speed much faster than similar but less expensive ATA-type cards (including CompactFlash and Memory Stick.) Just like SRAM card, Linear Flash card supports Execute In Place (XIP) applications in mobile PC and embedded equipment.
Combined with file management software such as Flash Translation Layer (FTL) or Flash File System, the Linear Flash cards provide removable disk emulation. As PCMCIA card, Linear Flash card should have a Card Information Structure (CIS). However, a lot of memory cards do not have a CIS. Standard cards contain separate 8KB EEPROM memory for CIS which can be used for easy identification of card characteristics. Moreover, its write-protect switch prevents over-writing valuable data.
Pretec also offers Linear Flash cards in capacities from 256KB to 16MB in standard (0°C - +70°C) or extended temperatures (-40°C - +85°C).
Capacity: 256KB-16MB
