1 Introduction
1.1
Overview :
The PX-xxxG7Me MLC series mSATA 6 Gb/s Solid State Drive (mSATA SSD) delivers leading performance in an
industry standard JEDEC MO-300 form factor while simultaneously improving system responsiveness for mobile
applications over standard rotating drive media or hard disk drives. By combining leading NAND flash memory
technology with our innovative high performance firmware, LITEON IT delivers a SSD for native Serial Advanced
Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drive drop-in replacement with enhanced performance, reliability,
ruggedness and power savings. Since there are no rotating platters, moving heads, fragile actuators, or
unnecessary delays due to spin-up time or positional seek time that can slow down the storage subsystem,
significant I/O and throughput performance improvement is achieved as compared to rotating media or hard
disk drives. This document describes the specifications of the PX-xxxG7Me MLC series mSATA SSD in JEDEC
MO-300 form factors.
The PX-xxxG7Me mSATA SSD primarily targets mSATA based laptop PCs, highly rugged mobile client devices, as
well as thin and light mini/sub-notebooks. Key attributes include high performance, low power, increased
system responsiveness, high reliability, and enhanced ruggedness as compared to standard mobile mSATA hard
drives. The PX-xxxG7Me mSATA SSD is available in JEDEC MO-300 form factor that are electrically,
mechanically, and software compatible with existing JEDEC MO-300 Serial ATA slots. Our flexible design allows
interchangeability with existing mobile hard drives based on the mSATA interface standard.

Performance criterion A = The device shall continue to operate as intended, i.e., normal unit operation
with no degradation of performance.
Performance criterion B = The device shall continue to operate as intended after completion of test,
however, during the test, some degradation of performance is allowed as long as there is no data loss
operator intervention to restore device function.
Performance criterion C = Temporary loss of function is allowed. Operator intervention is acceptable to

Architecture
The PX-xxxG7Me MLC series mSATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (SSD) utilizes a cost effective system-on-chip
(SoC) design to provide a full 6Gb/s bandwidth with the host while managing multiple flash memory
devices on multiple channels internally.
1.6
DEVSLP power mode
LiteON SSD support DEVSLP power mode. After power up, and enabled by a SET FEATURES command from
the host, device will enter DEVSLP mode from any state after receive HW DEVSLP signal pin trigger. And
return to Reset state after HW DEVSLP signal pin negated.
