4.3.5 Interface/Bus Timing
There are two types of bus cycles and timing
sequences that occur in the PCMCIA type
interface, a direct mapped I/O transfer and a
memory access. The two timing sequences are
explained in detail in the PCMCIA PC Card
Standard Release 2.1. The CompactFlash Memory
Card conforms to the timing in that reference
document.
4.3.6 Attribute Memory Read Timing
Specification
The Attribute Memory access time is defined as
300 ns. Detailed timing specifications are shown
in Table 4-3.

Notes: All times are in nanoseconds. Dout signifies data provided by the CompactFlash Memory Card to the
system. The -CE signal or both the -OE signal and the -WE signal must be de-asserted between consecutive
cycle operations.
