Swissbit® C-500 industrial CompactFlash™ card is an established removable device for industrial and NetCom applications as boot device or data storage. The C-500 is using a page based flash translation layer (FTL) mapping which allows high write data volume especially for logging of small data packages while maintaining best endurance. Multiple firmware features as global, static and dynamic wear leveling, bad block remapping and a sophisticated page based mapping leverage best in class endurance even for critical application. Data care management provides at the same time best retention for infrequently written data sections. The C-500 has an internal high performance 32-bit RISC controller, which manages interface protocols, data storage and retrieval as well as hardware BCH-code Error Correction Code (ECC), defect handling, diagnostics and clock control. The firmware structure and CPU performance enable fast boot times in the system.
