Operation R/W D7 SRESET D6 LevlREQ D5 Conf5 D4 Conf4 D3 Conf3 D2 Conf2 D1 Conf1 D0 Conf0 SRESET Soft Reset—Setting this bit to one (1), waiting the minimum reset width time and returning to zero (0) places the CompactFlash Memory Card in the Reset state. Setting this bit to one (1) is equivalent to assertion of the +RESET signal except that the SRESET bit is not cleared.
PwrDwn This bit indicates whether the host requests the CompactFlash Memory Card to be in the power saving or active mode. When the bit is one (1), the CompactFlash Card enters a power down mode. When zero (0), the host is requesting the CompactFlash Card to enter the active mode. The PC Card Rdy/-Bsy value becomes BUSY when this bit is changed. Rdy/-Bsy will not become Ready until the power state requested has been entered.

Register 0 is accessed with -CE1 low and -CE2 low as a word register on the combined Odd Data Bus and Even Data Bus (D15-D0). This register may also be accessed by a pair of byte accesses to the offset 0 with -CE1 low and -CE2 high.
4.5. ATA Registers NOTE: In accordance with the PCMCIA specification: each of the registers below which is located at an odd offset address may be accessed at its normal address and also the corresponding even address (normal address -1) using data bus lines (D15-D8) when -CE1 is high and -CE2 is low unless -IOIS16 is high (not asserted) and an I/O cycle is being performed. 4.5.1.
4.5.3. Feature Register (Address—1F1[171]; Offset 1, 0Dh Write Only This register provides information regarding features of the CF card that the host can utilize. This register is also accessed on data bits D15-D8 during a write operation to Offset 0 with -CE2 low and -CE1 high (except in True IDE Mode operation). 4.5.4.
Bit 4 (DRV) This bit will have the following meaning. DRV is the drive number. When DRV=0, drive (card) 0 is selected When DRV=1, drive (card) 1 is selected. In PCMCIA Mode operation, Card 0 or 1 is selected using the copy field of the PC Card Socket and Copy configuration register. When operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 3 of the head number. It is Bit 27 in the Logical Block Address mode. When operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 2 of the head number.
Bit 2 (SW Rst) This bit is set to 1 in order to force the card to perform an AT Disk controller Soft Reset operation. This does not change the PC Card Configuration Registers (4.3.2 to 4.3.5) as a hardware Reset does. The card remains in Reset until this bit is reset to '0'. Bit 1 (-IEn) The Interrupt Enable bit enables interrupts when the bit is 0. When the bit is 1, interrupts from the card are disabled. This bit also controls the Int bit in the Configuration and Status Register.

6. -3XX-P1/-3XX-WP1 Firmware Specifications The following sections describe in detail the enhanced firmware features available only in the Cactus Technologies® -3XX-P1 and -3XX-WP1 series Compact Flash devices. 6.1. CTLock™ The CTLock™ feature allows a Cactus Technologies® flash card/drive to be locked to a specific host.
CTLock™ is a PIO Data Out command. Upon issuing the command and receiving a data ready status from the drive, the host will send over 1 sector (512bytes) of data. The format of this data is as follows: byte Description 00-31 zeroes 32-64 Lock code 65-511 zeroes If this command is issued with Bit 0 of Feature Reg. set, the drive will enable the VS Lock mode.
Bit 11 (lock) Bit 10 (enable) Description 0 0 CTLock is disabled 0 1 CTLock is enabled, drive is unlocked 1 1 CTLock is enabled, drive is locked 6.2. CTPurge™ This feature allows the host to issue a single command and erase all the content of the flash card/drive. There are various options available to control how thoroughly the erasure is to be carried out, so that it can meet various published standards.
The Opcode field is partitioned into groups of 2 bits each with the following definitions: bit[7:6] These two bits determine how many sequences to perform. The coding is as follows: 00 1 sequence 01 2 sequences 10 3 sequences 11 reserved bit[5:4] These two bits determine the type of operation to be performed for sequence 3.

Time and Power Requirements The time required to perform a CTPurge™ operation depends on the capacity of the drive and the type of purge operation that is being performed. The host should ensure that power to the card/drive is maintained for the entire duration during the purge process.
also be used to enable the write protect function. The software write protect command also has a password feature, which provides protection against unintentional modification of the write protect status. The write protect mode is checked by the firmware only during power up time; any changes to the write protect mode after that is ignored .
