Product Description The GLS86FA008G1 / 016G1 / 1032G1 Industrial Grade miniSATA (mSATA) ArmourDriveTM solid state drive modules (referred to as "mSATA ArmourDrive" in this fact sheet) are high-reliability, fully integrated solid state drives. They combine an 8, 16 or 32 GByte SATA NANDriveTM and power interrupt data protection circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB) module. These products are ideal for portable applications that require removable form factor and more reliable data storage. The integrated NAND flash controller with built-in advanced NAND management firmware communicates with the host through the standard SATA protocol. It does not require any additional or proprietary software such as the Flash File System (FFS) and Memory Technology Driver (MTD). SATA-interface solid state mass storage technology is widely used in portable and industrial computers, settop boxes, test and measurement instrumentation, multi-functional printers, video and audio recorders, network servers and car infotainment systems. mSATA ArmourDrive's advanced NAND management technology enhances data reliability and security, improves endurance and accurately estimates the remaining life of the NAND flash devices. This innovative technology combines robust NAND controller hardware error correction capabilities with advanced wear-leveling algorithms and bad block management to significantly extend the life of the product. mSATA ArmourDrive is pre-programmed with a 10Byte unique serial ID and has the option of programming an additional 10-Byte serial ID for even greater system security. mSATA ArmourDrive is a removable solid state drive (SSD) that provides the functionality and compatibility of a complete SATA hard disk drive (HDD) in a 29.85 mm x 50.80 mm form factor. These products surpass traditional storage in their small size, security, reliability, ruggedness and low power consumption. These specifications are subject to change without notice. (c) 2013 Greenliant Systems mSATA ArmourDrive is offered in a standard JEDEC 52-pin PCB module form factor. 1 12/10/2013 S71446-F GLS86FA008G1 / 016G1 / 032G1 Industrial Grade mSATA ArmourDriveTM Fact Sheet 01.101 December 2013 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Each mSATA ArmourDrive module contains a NANDrive multi-chip package, which integrates a SATA NAND flash memory controller with up to eight discrete NAND flash die. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the mSATA ArmourDrive block diagram. 1.1 1.1.5 Optimized mSATA ArmourDrive Dedicated power failure detection and backup power circuitry are built in to prevent data integrity issues due to sudden power interruptions. The heart of mSATA ArmourDrive is the SATA NAND flash memory controller which translates standard SATA signals into flash media data and control signals. The following components contribute to mSATA ArmourDrive's operation. 1.1.1 1.1.6 1.1.7 1.1.8 Power Management Unit (PMU) 1.2 Advanced NAND Management mSATA ArmourDrive's integrated controller uses advanced wear-leveling algorithms to substantially increase the longevity of NAND flash media. Wear caused by data writes is evenly distributed in all or select blocks in the device that prevents "hot spots" in locations that are programmed and erased extensively. This effective wear-leveling technique results in optimized device endurance, enhanced data retention and higher reliability required by long-life applications. The Flash File System handles inadvertent power interrupts and has auto-recovery capability to ensure mSATA ArmourDrive firmware integrity. For regular power management, the host must send an IDLE_IMMEDIATE command and wait for command ready before powering down mSATA ArmourDrive. 1.1.4 Multi-tasking Interface The multi-tasking interface enables concurrent Read, Program and Erase operations to multiple NAND flash media. The PMU controls the power consumption of mSATA ArmourDrive. The PMU dramatically reduces the power consumption of mSATA ArmourDrive by putting the part of the circuitry that is not in operation into 3) sleep mode. 3) Serial Communication Interface (SCI) The Serial Communication Interface (SCI) is designed for error reporting. During the product development stage, it is recommended to provide the SCI port on the PCB to aid in design validation. Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA) mSATA ArmourDrive uses internal DMA allowing instant data transfer from/to buffer to/from flash media. This implementation eliminates microcontroller overhead associated with the traditional, firmwarebased approach, thereby increasing the data transfer rate. 1.1.3 Error Correction Code (ECC) High performance is achieved through optimized hardware error detection and correction. Microcontroller Unit (MCU) The MCU translates SATA commands into data and control signals required for flash media operation. 1.1.2 Power Interrupt Data Protection For management of the Sleep Mode, please refer to "SATA NANDrive Application Design Guide." Embedded Flash File System The embedded flash file system is an integral part of mSATA ArmourDrive. It contains MCU firmware that performs the following tasks: 1. Translates host side signals into flash media writes and reads 2. Provides flash media wear leveling to spread the flash writes across all memory address space to increase the longevity of flash media 3. Keeps track of data file structures 4. Manages system security for the selected protection zones These specifications are subject to change without notice.
