1. General Descriptions
Apacer’s value-added Industrial CompactFlash Card offers high performance, high reliability and
power-efficient storage. Regarding standard compliance, this CompactFlash Card complies with
CompactFlash specification revision 6.1, supporting transfer modes up to Programmed Input Output
(PIO) Mode 6, Multi-word Direct Memory Access (DMA) Mode 4, Ultra DMA Mode 6 in True-IDE
Mode.
Apacer’s value-added CFC provides complete PCMCIA – ATA functionality and compatibility.
Apacer‘s CompactFlash technology is designed for applications in Point of Sale (POS) terminals,
telecom, IP-STB, medical instruments, surveillance systems, industrial PCs and handheld applications
such as the new generation of Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras.
1.1 Intelligent Endurance Design
1.1.1 Error Correction Code (ECC)
The CompactFlash card is programmed with BCH Error Detection Code (EDC) and Error Correction
Code (ECC) algorithms capable of correcting up to 96 random bits in 1KB bytes data.
High performance is achieved through hardware-based error detection and correction.
1.1.2 Global Wear Leveling
Flash memory devices differ from Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in terms of how blocks are utilized. For
HDDs, when a change is made to stored data, like erase or update, the controller mechanism on
HDDs will perform overwrites on blocks. Unlike HDDs, flash blocks cannot be overwritten and each
P/E cycle wears down the lifespan of blocks gradually. Repeatedly program/erase cycles performed
on the same memory cells will eventually cause some blocks to age faster than others. This would
bring flash storages to their end of service term sooner. Global Wear leveling is an important
mechanism that levels out the wearing of blocks so that the wearing-down of all blocks can be almost
evenly distributed. This will increase the lifespan of SSDs.
1.1.3 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.

1.1.4 Flash Block Management
Current production technology is unable to guarantee total reliability of NAND flash memory array.
When a flash memory device leaves factory, it comes with a minimal number of initial bad blocks
during production or out-of-factory as there is no currently known technology that produce flash chips
free of bad blocks. In addition, bad blocks may develop during program/erase cycles. Since bad
blocks are inevitable, the solution is to keep them in control. Apacer flash devices are programmed
with ECC, block mapping technique and S.M.A.R.T to reduce invalidity or error. Once bad blocks are
detected, data in those blocks will be transferred to free blocks and error will be corrected by
designated algorithms.
1.1.5 Flash Translation Layer – Page Mapping
Page mapping is an advanced flash management technology whose essence lies in the ability to
gather data, distribute the data into flash pages automatically, and then schedule the data to be
evenly written. Page-level mapping uses one page as the unit of mapping. The most important
characteristic is that each logical page can be mapped to any physical page on the flash memory
device. This mapping algorithm allows different sizes of data to be written to a block as if the data is
written to a data pool and it does not need to take extra operations to process a write command. Thus,
page mapping is adopted to increase random access speed and improve SSD lifespan, reduce block
erase frequency, and achieve optimized performance and lifespan.

1.1.6 Power Failure Management
Power Failure Management plays a crucial role when power supply becomes unstable. Power
disruption may occur when users are storing data into the SSD, leading to instability in the drive.
However, with Power Failure Management, a firmware protection mechanism will be activated to scan
pages and blocks once power is resumed. Valid data will be transferred to new blocks for merging
and the mapping table will be rebuilt. Therefore, data reliability can be reinforced, preventing damage
to data stored in the NAND Flash.

Cylinders, heads or sectors are not applicable for these capacities. Only LBA addressing applies.
Notes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes.
LBA count addressed in the table above indicates total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the lifespan of
the device. However, the total usable capacity of the SSD is most likely to be less than the total physical capacity because a
small portion of the capacity is reserved for device maintenance usages.

4.6 Endurance
The endurance of a storage device is predicted by TeraBytes Written based on several factors related
to usage, such as the amount of data written into the drive, block management conditions, and daily
workload for the drive. Thus, key factors, such as Write Amplifications and the number of P/E cycles,
can influence the lifespan of the drive.

The Res1.2R and Res3.3R thresholds are used by the reset logic to release the internal reset signal on a
system power-on. The Res3.3L threshold is used to assert the internal reset signal on a system power
down.
The S3V and S5V threshold comparators generate interrupts to the firmware. The S 3V comparator
normally monitors the 3.3V VCC supply, the S5V comparator normally monitors the 5V or 3.3V module
supply. The S3V interrupt can be used to stop accesses to the flash memory early on a system power
down event. The S5V interrupt can be used to implement a supply hold-up functionality when a backup
energy source is available.
In packages that do not have the SENSE3V pin, SENSE3V is internally connected to VCC.
6.3.2 AC Characteristics
The AC Characteristics reference the timing diagrams of the CompactFlash Specification Revision 4.1
and the symbols in these timing diagrams. The AC characteristics are valid for a supply voltage of
3.3V ± 5%.

True-IDE UDMA Mode Read and Write Characteristics
The interface timing in the True-IDE UDMA modes is not only depending on the interface hardware,
but also on the correct setup of the UDMA registers in the firmware, according to the UDMA transfer
mode selected by the host. With a correct register setup, the interface timing complies to the UDMA
Mode 0 to Mode 7 timing specifications of the CF Specification Revision 6.1, and to the UDMA Mode
0 to Mode 6 timing specifications of the ATA/ATAPI-7 Standard.
Toggle Mode Flash Memory Interface Characteristics
The AC Characteristics for the flash memory interface are based on the F9 flash interface clock cycle
time. τ is ½ of the flash interface clock cycle time configured in the preformat. In Toggle mode, the
valid range for τ is 5ns to 10ns. The table lists the flash memory interface timing based on τ, valid for
a load of not more than 45pF on the flash interfacepins.
