2. This application manual may not be copied or otherwise reproduced in whole or in part without prior written con-
sent of Ricoh.
3. Please be sure to take any necessary formalities under relevant laws or regulations before exporting or other-
wise taking out of your country the products or the technical information described herein.
4. The technical information described in this application manual shows typical characteristics of and example
application circuits for the products. The release of such information is not to be construed as a warranty of or a
grant of license under Ricoh's or any third party's intellectual property rights or any other rights.
5. The products listed in this document are intended and designed for use as general electronic components in
standard applications (office equipment, computer equipment, measuring instruments, consumer electronic
products, amusement equipment etc.). Those customers intending to use a product in an application requiring
extreme quality and reliability, for example, in a highly specific application where the failure or misoperation of
the product could result in human injury or death (aircraft, spacevehicle, nuclear reactor control system, traffic
control system, automotive and transportation equipment, combustion equipment, safety devices, life support
system etc.) should first contact us.
6. We are making our continuous effort to improve the quality and reliability of our products, but semiconductor
products are likely to fail with certain probability. In order prevent any injury to persons or damages to property
resulting from such failure, customers should be careful enough to incorporate safety measures in their design,
such as redundancy feature, fire-containment feature and fail-safe feature. We do not assume any liability or
responsibility for any loss or damage arising from misuse or inappropriate use of the products.
7. Anti-radiation design is not implemented in the products described in this application manual.
8. Please contact Ricoh sales representatives should you have any questions or comments concerning the prod-
ucts or the technical information.

RF5C296/RF5C396L/RB5C396/RF5C396
The RF5C296, the RF5C396L, the RB5C396, and the RF5C396 are enhanced version of the RF5C266 and
RF5C366, LSIs functioning as controllers for interfacing IC memory cards, modems, and I/O cards, such as HDDs,
to system buses in compliance with the PCMCIA2.1 or JEIDA4.2 Standard. These controller LSIs can be used to
configure an ISA bus system which supports PC cards.
The RF5C296 supports one PC card slot while the RF5C396L, the RB5C396 and the RF5C396 support two PC
card slots. Incorporating a buffer and a transceiver, each of these devices can be directly coupled to the ISA system
bus and the PC card slots. The devices are also capable of providing an independent power supply of 3.3V or 5V for
each slot interface, system bus, and core logic. Further, they effect substantial space savings through implementa-
tion in slimline packages (i.e. the 144pin LQFP for the RF5C296, the 208pin LQFP for the RF5C396L, the 256pin
PBGA for the RB5C396 and the 208pin QFP for the RF5C396).
Unless otherwise noted, the RF5C396L, the RB5C396 and the RF5C396 are collectively referred to as the
RF5C396 in this manual.
