The C-440 series CompactFlash™ (CF) Card is still the most popular flash based storage solution used in the embedded and industrial markets and the CompactFlash™ card form factor and connector is well established. It provides rugged and reliable memory for a wide range of demanding use cases. It is designed to solve a broad range of concerns from compatibility, booting and power fail safety concerns to long-term supply, controlled BOM and outstanding flash protocol handling techniques to ensure highest possible data integrity. In contrast to commonly promoted sequential performance values, Swissbit is especially focused on optimized random access speed, one of the key requirements in legacy embedded CompactFlash applications.
