The IDE to CompactFlash adapter enables OEMs to replace hard disk drives with economical, rugged CompactFlash cards. This is a convenient interface that allows CompactFlash modules to be used in any system that includes a standard IDE 40 pin connector. Once the platform starts with the adapter and the CF card attached, the compactflash module appears to the system to be a standard disk drive. Unlike other flash storage systems such as DiskOn-Chip modules, this solution does not require drivers or additional software to run the unit. The CF card can be the primary boot device containing the OS and application.

Power (5V, GND) is provided via a 2 pin header (0.1"). All our DC-DC converters provide 5V via 2 pin jumper.
