1. General Description

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 4.1, supporting transfer modes up to Programmed Input Output (PIO) Mode 6, Multi-

word Direct Memory Access (DMA) Mode 4, Ultra DMA Mode 5, and PCMCIA Ultra DMA Mode 5.

For power efficiency, this industrial CompactFlash card supports some power smart design mechanisms

such as Power-On-Reset, voltage regulator for output voltage adjustments and power failure protection,

as well as the automatic sleep and wake-up feature. In terms of security, it comes with a hardware write

protect switch.

In terms of data integrity and accuracy, the CompactFlash card is built with on-chip hardware 13/24 bit

BCH ECC engine that can correct up to 24-bit errors per 1,024 byte data. The 13-bit is used for 2KB page

size with 16 bytes spare region per 512 byte data, while the 24-bit ECC is used for flash with 218 or more

bytes, companied with 4KB data. The controller of this CompactFlash card is designed to transfer the host

data through fast DMA engine and utilize the internal memory buffer in a sufficient way, which greatly

minimizes the internal microprocessor’s loading and improves performance efficiency.

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.

2. Functional Block

The CompactFlash Card (CFC) includes a controller and flash media, as well as the CompactFlash

standard interface. Figure 2-1 shows the functional block diagram.

1. Display of total bytes varies from operating systems.

2. 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.

6. Flash Management

6.1 Intelligent Endurance Design

6.1.1 Advanced wear-leveling algorithms

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. On the other hand, NAND flash storage adopts flash as their primary media.

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 earlier.

Wear leveling is an important mechanism that level out the wearing of blocks so that the wearing-down of

blocks can be almost evenly distributed. This will increase the lifespan of SSDs. Commonly used wear

leveling types are Static and Dynamic.

6.1.2 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.

6.1.3 Built-in Hardware ECC

The ECC bit encoding takes places when host/OS writes data to the SSD. This step is simpler and quick.

On the other hand, the ECC bit decoding is processed when host/OS reads data from the SSD. In this

step, the ECC codes will be in progress for detecting, comparing and detecting potential error. Thus, the

power of the ECC lies mostly in the read data side.

This ATA CompactFlash card employs BCH Error Correction Code (ECC) algorithms. This on-chip

hardware BCH-ECC engines is 13/24 bit programmed that can correct up to 24-bit errors per 1,024 byte

data. This built-in hardware ECC performs parity generation and error detection/correction for data

integrity.

6.2 Intelligent Power Failure Recovery

Power Failure Management ensures data transmission when experiencing unstable power supply. When

power disruption takes places, NAND Flash will have to cache multiple write-to-flash cycles to securely

store data. This urgent operation requires about several milliseconds to get it done. When the supplied

voltage is below a certain percentage of the required, the flash controller will be signaled by a detector IC

component with low power detection signal and then the firmware will communicate the controller to flush

all the data into the cache of Flash storage area. This can prevent incomplete data transmission. The

crucial part lies in the strength of the capacitor of the SSD. The capacitor must be able to hold up some

milliseconds of remaining time before the power is totally out, for the urgent write-back-into-flash

operations to complete.
