AbstractWithin the past few years, we have witnessed in the consumer marketplace a proliferation of portable handheld devices supported by the use of small, high-density, removable storage media. Nowadays, we see the array of music players, digital cameras, and PDA, boasting hundreds of megabytes of expandable off-line nonvolatile storage. With this impressive storage capability, users can download their data or upload newly data between the portable device and a desktop PC. Compact Flash Cards, designed to be small, removable, and durable, and are offered in sizes from 8 Megabytes up to 4 Gigabytes. In addition to its small size, the Compact Flash has the advantage of acting like an IDE hard-disk. It operates at speeds of traditional hard-disk drives, while consuming less power. Because it is ATA-compatible, it can be formatted like a hard drive - as an alternative way of transferring files to or from a computer or such a Data Logger in this thesis. From the perspective of embedded system applied for a Mobile Data Logger, a Compact Flash Card is a great way to save recorded real-time digitized streams of data for temporary storage or off-line retrieval. This thesis is oriented to design and implement Compact Flash Card Interface to a Data Logger to get PC-readable data storage, high data transfer, and low power consumption.
