General Description Apacer’s ATA-Disk Module (ADM) is a high-performance, embedded flash drive designed to replace the conventional IDE hard disk drive. The ADMs can be plugged into a standard IDE connector commonly found in desktops, IT-STB, industrial PCs and thin client systems. Apacer’s ADM SSD has a built-in microcontroller with file management firmware that communicates with the ATA standard interfaces. No additional or proprietary host software is required. Well suited for embedded flash storage applications by offering new and expanded functionalities as well as more cost-effective designs, better performance and increased reliability, ADM is designed to work at either 5 or 3.3 Volts, supports the standard ATA/IDE protocol for up to PIO Mode-4, Multiword DMA Mode-2 and Ultra DMA Mode-4 interfaces, and uses the standard ATA driver complying with all major operating systems such as Microsoft’s Windows series, Mac OS, and Unix variants. Featuring technologies as Advanced Wear-leveling algorithms, S.M.A.R.T, Enhanced Data Integrity, Intelligent Power Failure Recovery, Secure Protection Zone and Quick Erase, Apacer’s ADM assures users of a versatile device on data storage. 1.1 Performance-Optimized Controller The kernel of an ATA-Disk Module is the ATA controller, which translates standard ATA signals into the data and controls of the flash media. This proprietary ATA controller is specifically designed to attain high data throughput from the host to the flash. 1.1.1 Power Management Unit (PMU) The power management unit (PMU) controls the power consumption of the ATA-Disk Module. It reduces the power consumption of the ATA-Disk Module Controller by putting circuitry not in operation into sleep mode. The PMU has zero wake-up latency. 1.1.2 SRAM Buffer The ATA-Disk Module Controller performs as an SRAM buffer to optimize the host’s data transfer to and from the flash media. 4 © 2009 Apacer Technology Inc.

Rev. 1.0 Value Added ATA-Disk Module Ⅲ AP-FMxxxxEAXXXS-XXJ 5. Flash Management 5.1 Intelligent Endurance Design 5.1.1 Advanced wear-leveling algorithms 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 Apacerspecific advanced wear leveling to ensure that the lifetime of the flash media can be increased, and the disk access performance is optimized as well. 5.1.2 S.M.A.R.T. Technology 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. Apacer SMART feature adopts the standard SMART command B0h to read data from the drive. When the Apacer SMART Utility running on the host, it analyzes and reports the disk status to the host before the device is in critical condition. 5.1.3 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. 5.1.4 Enhanced Data Integrity The properties of NAND flash memory make it ideal for applications that require high integrity while operating in challenging environments. The integrity of data to NAND flash memory is generally maintained through ECC algorithms and bad block management. Flash controllers can support up to 8 bits ECC capability for accuracy of data transactions, and bad block management is a preventive mechanism from loss of data by retiring unusable media blocks and relocating the data to the other blocks, along with the integration of advanced wear leveling algorithms, so that the lifespan of device can be expanded. 9 © 2009 Apacer Technology Inc. Rev. 1.0 Value Added ATA-Disk Module Ⅲ AP-FMxxxxEAXXXS-XXJ 5.2 Intelligent Power Failure Recovery The Low Power Detection on the controller initiates cached data saving before the power supply to the device is too low. This feature prevents the device from crash and ensures data integrity during an unexpected blackout. Once power was failure before cached data writing back into flash, data in the cache will lost. The next time the power is on, the controller will check these fragmented data segment, and, if necessary, replace them with old data kept in flash until programmed successfully. 5.3 Enhanced Security Level 5.3.1 Secure Protection Zone Partitioning with static commands to logically secure data, protection zones are the solid frameworks of file vaults. 3 different types of zones, unprotected, read-only, and restricted, are offered for effortless administration. When the product is shipped out of Apacer, all sectors are in the unprotected zone, which means there is no control on any data transaction. For further management control, the read-only zone can be set to be accessed exclusively for grantees, and the restricted zone, to be as the maximum security stockade with full administration privilege required. A maximum of 4 zones can be configured as either restricted or read-only zone presenting concurrently. The space outside these 4 zones is automatically in the unprotected zone if available. After the zone has been configured, the protection zone can be de-activated or re-activated by either software methods or hardware components. Protection zone configuration is non-volatile and it will be in effect until the next set of configuration overwrites it. 5.3.2 Quick Erase Accomplished by the Secure Erase (SE) command, which added to the open ANSI standards that control disk drives, “Quick Erase” is built into the disk drive itself and thus far less susceptible to malicious software attacks than external software utilities. It is a positive easy-to-use data destroy command, amounting to electronic data shredding. Executing the command causes a drive to internally completely erase all possible user data. This command is carried out within disk drives, so no additional software is required. Once executed, neither data nor the erase counter on the device would be recoverable, which blurs the accuracy of device lifespan. The process to erase will not be stopped until finished while encountering power failure, and will be continued when power is back on. 10 © 2009 Apacer Technology Inc.
