Notes:
1. Minimum DC voltage on input or I/O pins is 0.5 V. During voltage transitions, inputs may overshoot VSS to 2.0 V for periods of up to 20 ns. Maximum DC voltage on output and I/O pins is VCC + 0.5 V. During voltage transitions, outputs may overshoot to VCC + 2.0 V for periods up to 20ns.

2. No more than one output shorted at a time. Durations of the short circuit should not be greater than one second.
Conditions equal VOUT = 0.5 V or 5.0 V, VCC = VCC max. These values are chosen to avoid test problems caused
by tester ground degradation. This parameter is sampled and not 100% tested, but guaranteed by characterization.

Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. This is
a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure of the device to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

AMD's 5.0 Volt-only Flash Memory PC Card AmC004DFLKA provides the highest system level performance for data and file storage solutions to the portable PC market segment and a wide range of embedded applications. Manufactured with AMD's Negative Gate Erase, 5.0 Volt-only technology, the AMD 5.0 Volt-only Flash Memory Cards are the most cost-effective and reliable approach to single-supply Flash memory cards. Data files and application programs can be stored on the D-Series cards. This allows OEM manufacturers of portable systems to eliminate the weight, high-power consumption
and reliability issues associated with electro-mechanical disk-based systems. The AmC004DFLKA also allow today's bulky and heavy battery packs to be reduced in weight and size. AMD's Flash Memory PC Cards provide the most efficient method to transfer useful work between different hardware platforms. The enabling technology of the D-Series cards enhances the productivity of mobile workers.

Widespread acceptance of the AmC004DFLKA is assured due to their compatibility with the 68-pin PCMCIA/JEIDA international standard. AMD's Flash Memory Cards can be read in either a byte-wide or word-wide mode which allows for flexible integration into various system platforms. Compatibility is assured at the hardware interface and software interchange specification. The Card Information Structure (CIS) or Metaformat, can be written by the OEM into the memory card's attribute memory address space beginning at address 00000H by using a format utility. The CIS appears at the beginning of the Card's attribute memory space and defines the low-level organization of
data on the PC Card. The D-Series cards contains a separate EEPROM memory for the cards' attribute memory space. This allows all of the Flash memory to be used for the common memory space.

Third party software solutions such as Microsoft's and SystemSoft's Flash File System (FFS2), SCM's SCM-FTL, and Datalight's Cardtrick enable AMD's Flash Memory PC Card to replicate the function of traditional disk-based memory systems.
