COMPACTFLASH - A 50-pin connection standard used in some PDAs, digital cameras, hardware MP3 players, and other small hardware devices. It was initially designed to offer PCMCIA-ATA standard access to Flash memory in a smaller form factor than PCMCIA at 43 mm by 36 mm and thicknesses of 3.3 mm (Type I) or 5.5 mm (Type II), but the standard has been expanded to support other peripherals, such as CF modems, CF network cards, and other types of I/O devices with the CompactFlash+ standard. |
