Information Regarding Compact Flash Card

We provide the iCF (Industrial Compact Flash) vs CF comparison (Consumer Grade) for your reference to display the difference between industrial CF card and consumer CF card.

Touch Dynamic calculates the program/erase cycle as MTBF/MCTF (mean cycle to failure), the parameter is between 12.5ML ~ 11.25ML cycles.

In reference to the write endurance, we calculate it with the maximum write command, ie. a 1GB flash device with write 10GB data a day, means it must write 10 times (=10 program/erase cycle) to fulfill the demand.

The flash life is 100K program/erase cycle, divided by 10, means the flash could operate such demand 10K times; divided by 365 days, means the 1GB flash could practice the write 10GB data per-day for 27years.
