Datakey Datakey RUGGEDrive Industrial SD Card Memory Token DFX-I Series

Industrial DFX RUGGEDrive™ memory tokens (DFX-I and DFX-IS models) provide SD card functionality, using either an SPI or SD interface and are available in capacities from 1 - 64 GB. They have several advantages over consumer SD cards, which make them ideally suited for embedded and industrial applications outside of the consumer market: Ultra-Rugged Construction - Industrial DFX tokens use solid over-molded construction, making them impervious to liquids and virtually crush-proof. Security Features - The unique form factor means that Industrial DFX tokens won't plug-in to standard ports found on a PC. Industrial Temperature Operation - All Industrial DFX tokens are rated for operation across the full industrial temperature range of -40˚C to +85˚C. Fixed/Controlled BOM - The SD controller IC, its firmware and the NAND flash will not change from lot-to-lot, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. Datakey DFX-I memory tokens deliver SD card functionality in a more robust and secure form factor than consumer and industrial SD cards. As part of the Industrial RUGGEDrive line, DFX-I tokens utilize SD memory that is rated for operation over the entire industrial temperature range of -40˚C to +85˚C. DFX-I models utilize Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash, while DFX-IS models utilize Single-Level Cell (SLC) NAND flash. Electrically, DFX-I tokens utilize a standard SD electrical interface (per the SD specification) – including support of SPI mode communications for embedded applications. The SD memory used in the DFX-I memory tokens has a fixed/controlled bill of materials, meaning that the SD controller IC, its firmware and the NAND flash are fixed. They will not change from lot-to-lot, like they can with consumer SD cards. The fixed/controlled bill of materials ensures consistent operation, performance and reliability over time. DFX-I memory tokens utilize solid over-molded construction using tough, synthetic materials that protect the embedded memory from harsh environmental influences, such as dirt, moisture, chemicals, and electrostatic discharge. The tokens can also be OEM-branded with a company logo, used in place of the Datakey logo. This field-proven, rugged and reliable memory token and mating connector system deliver flexibility for embedded system designers - allowing for integration of a secure SD removable memory device in virtually any application/environm ent.
