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. Duration of the short circuit should not be greater than one second. Conditions equal VOUT = 0.5 V or 5.0 V, VCC = VCCmax. 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.
3. 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.DescriptionThe Miniature Card is an expansion card that provides a high-performance, small form factor solution for data and file storage to the portable, handheld market, which includes audio, digital film, wireless, and PDA (Portable Digital Assistant) applications. The Miniature Card provides a low cost, low power, high performance interface for memory cards.
Miniature cards AmMC004AWP can be easily "snapped" into the back of an electronic system and can be readily removed and replaced by end users. AMD's 5 V Flash Miniature Cards are manufactured using AMD's industry leading 5.0 volt-only, single-power-supply Am29F080B and Am29F017B Flash Memory devices, ensuring high reliability and excellent performance. The Miniature Card is less than 30% of the size of a PCMCIA memory card. Applications include digital voice recorders, pocket PCs and intelligent organizers, smart cellular telephones, voice and data messaging pagers, digital still cameras and portable instrumentation equipment.
AmMC004AWP specification will be defined by PCMCIA as of October 1997. The participating association members include major Flash memory vendors and leading consumer electronics OEMs. The goal of the Miniature Card specification is to promote an open, interoperable small-form-factor memory card standard. For more information on the Miniature Card specification, visit the PCMCIA web site at http://www.pccard.com.
AmMC004AWP 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.
AmMC004AWP is also designed with low-cost and AMD's Miniature Flash cards can be used for both code and data storage. Since fast random access is possible, code can be directly executed from the card, reducing the amount of system RAM required. In addition. AMD's Flash technology offers unsurpassed endurance, data retention and reliability, eliminating the need for complex error correction and defect management hardware and software. Each Flash sector provides a minimum of 100,000 cycles, which translates into a typical card life of one million or more cycles.

rugged handling in mind. The card contains virtually
no control logic, which keeps cost and power consumption
to a minimum. The Miniature Card is packaged
in a sonic welded, stainless steel case that
guarantees durability, provides good ESD protection
and ease of handling.
AmMC004AWP has extensive third-party support,
including socket and connector solutions, software
support from the major FTL software vendors, and
PCMCIA adapter solutions and programmer support.
