I. General Description

1. Advance Wear-Leveling Algorithm The NAND flash devices are limited by a certain number of write cycles. When using a file system, frequent file table updates is mandatory. If some area on the flash wears out faster than others, it would significantly reduce the lifetime of the whole device, even if the erase counts of others are far from the write cycle limit. Thus, if the write cycles can be distributed evenly across the media, the lifetime of the media can be prolonged significantly. The scheme is achieved both via buffer management and specific advanced wear leveling to ensure that the lifetime of the flash media can be increased, and the disk access performance is optimized as well.

2. S.M.A.R.T Function S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, an open standard allowing disk drives to automatically monitor their own health and report potential problems. It protects the user from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and storing critical drive performance and calibration parameters. Ideally, this should allow taking proactive actions to prevent impending drive failure. SMART feature adopts the standard SMART command B0h to read data from the drive. When the SMART Utility running on the host, it analyzes and reports the disk status to the host before the device is in critical condition.

3. Built-in Hardware ECC The ATA-Disk Module uses BCH Error Detection Code (EDC) and Error Correction Code (ECC) algorithms which correct up to eight random single-bit errors for each 512-byte block of data. High performance is fulfilled through hardware-based error detection and correction.

D15-D00 (True IDE Mode)

In True IDE Mode, this input/output is the Disk I/O

Active/Slave Present signal in the Master/Slave handshake protocol.

I/O

2, 6, 10, 12, In True IDE Mode, all Task File operations occur in byte 14, 16, 20, mode on the low order bus D00-D07 while all data 19, 17, 13, 11, 7, 5, 3, 1, transfers are 16 bit using D00-D15.

In True IDE Mode, this signal has the same function as I

STOP (All Modes: UDMA protocol active)

in PC Card I/O Mode. In all modes, when UDMA mode protocol is active, the assertion of this signal causes the termination of the UDMA data burst.

In True IDE Mode, this signal has the same function as -IORD (True IDE Mode except UDMA protocol active)

in PC Card I/O Mode.

In True IDE Mode, this signal is an active high interrupt request to the host.

In True IDE Mode only, A2:A0 are used to select the one of eight Registers in the Task File. The remaining address lines should be Grounded.

In True IDE Mode, -CS0 is the chip enable for the task file registers when -CS1 is used to select the Alternate Status Register and the mPCI-Express IDE Card Control Register. This is a DMA Acknowledge signal that is asserted by the host in response to DMARQ to initiate DMA transfers. In True IDE Mode, while DMA operations are not active, the card shall ignore the DMARQ signal, including a floating condition. If DMA operation is not supported by a True IDE Mode only host, this signal should be driven high or connected to VCC by the host.

DMARQ (True IDE Mode)

This signal is a DMA Request that is used for DMA data transfers between host and device. It shall be asserted by the device when it is ready to transfer data to or from the host. For Multiword DMA Transfers, the direction of data transfer is controlled by -IORD and IOWR. This signal is used in a handshake manner with -DMACK, i.e., the device shall wait until the host asserts -DMACK before negating - DMARQ, and re-asserting -DMARQ if there is more data to transfer. In True IDE Mode, DMARQ shall not be driven when the device is not selected in the Drive-Head register. While a DMA operation is in progress, -CS0 and -CS1 shall be held
