1 Introduction
1.1
Overview :
The CV1-8BXXX MLC series mSATA second generation (M.2) SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (SSD) delivers leading
performance in an industry standard M.2 type 2280-S3-B-M 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 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 CV1-8BXXX MLC series
M.2 SSD in M.2 type 2280-S3-B-M form factors.
The CV1-8BXXX M.2 SSD primarily targets M.2 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 M.2 hard drives.
The CV1-8BXXX M.2 SSD is available in M.2 type 2280-S3-B-M form factor that are electrically, mechanically,
and software compatible with existing M.2 slots. Our flexible design allows interchangeability with existing
mobile hard drives based on the M.2 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
restore device function.

Architecture
The CV1-8BXXX MLC series SATA 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.
