Data Sheet

1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SST’s ATA-Disk Chip (ADC) contains a controller,

embedded firmware and Flash Media in a 32-pin DIP pack-

age. Refer to Figure 1-1 for SST’s ADC block diagram. The

controller interfaces with the host system allowing data to

be written to and read from the Flash Media.

1.1.3 Power Management Unit (PMU)

Power Management Unit controls the power consumption

of the ADC. The PMU dramatically extends product battery

life by putting the part of the circuitry that is not in operation

into sleep mode.

1.1 Performance-optimized ATA Controller

The heart of the ADC is the ATA controller which translates

standard ATA signals into Flash Media data and controls.

SST’s ADC contains a proprietary ATA controller that was

specifically designed to attain high data throughput from

host to Flash. The following components contribute to the

ATA controller’s operation.

1.1.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU)

The MCU translates ATA commands into data and control

signals required for flash memory operation.

1.1.2 Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA)

The ATA controller inside ADC uses DMA allowing instant

data transfer from buffer to memory. This implementation

eliminates microcontroller overhead associated with tradi-

tional, firmware based, memory control, increasing data

transfer rate.

1.1.4 SRAM Buffer

A key contributor to the ATA controller performance is an

SRAM buffer. The buffer optimizes host’s data writes to

Flash Media.

1.1.5 Embedded Flash File System

Embedded Flash File System is an integral part of the

SST’s ATA controller. It contains MCU Firmware that per-

forms 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 the memory address space

to increase the longevity of Flash Media.

3. Keeps track of data file structures.

1.1.6 Error Correction Code (ECC)

The ATA Controller contains ECC algorithm that corrects

3 Bytes of error per 512 Byte sector.
