Product Description
The GLS85LS1004A / 1008A / 1016A / 1032A
Commercial Temperature SATA NANDrive™ devices
(referred to as “SATA NANDrive” in this datasheet)
are high-performance, fully integrated solid state
drives. They combine an advanced Greenliant SATA
NAND controller and 4, 8, 16 or 32 GByte of NAND
flash in a multi-chip package. These products are
ideal for embedded and portable applications that
require smaller form-factor and more reliable data
storage.
SATA-interface solid state mass storage technology is
widely used in portable and industrial computers, set-
top boxes, multi-functional printers, point-of-sales
terminals, video and audio recorders, medical
instruments and car infotainment systems.
SATA NANDrive is a single device, solid state drive
(SSD) that provides the functionality and compatibility
of a complete SATA hard disk drive (HDD) in a 14 mm
x 24 mm BGA package for easy, space saving
mounting to a system motherboard. These products
surpass traditional storage in their small size, security,
reliability, ruggedness and low power consumption.
The integrated NAND flash controller with built-in
advanced NAND management firmware
communicates with the host through the standard
SATA protocol. It does not require any additional or
proprietary software such as the Flash File System
(FFS) and Memory Technology Driver (MTD).
SATA NANDrive is pre-programmed with a 10-Byte
unique serial ID and has the option of programming
an additional 10-Byte serial ID for even greater
system security.
SATA NANDrive’s advanced NAND management
technology enhances data reliability and security,
improves endurance and accurately estimates the
remaining lifespan of the NAND flash devices. This
innovative technology combines robust NAND
controller hardware error correction capabilities with
advanced wear-leveling algorithms and bad block
management to significantly extend the life of the
product.
SATA NANDrive devices are offered in a 145-ball
BGA, 1 mm ball pitch package.

GLS85LS1004A / 1008A / 1016A / 1032A
Commercial Temp SATA NANDrive™
1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Each SATA NANDrive contains an integrated SATA NAND flash memory controller and up to eight discrete
NAND flash die in a BGA package. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the SATA NANDrive block diagram.
1.1 Optimized SATA NANDrive
The heart of SATA NANDrive is the SATA NAND flash
memory controller which translates standard SATA
signals into flash media data and control signals. The
following components contribute to SATA NANDrive’s
operation.
1.1.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU)
The MCU translates SATA commands into data and
control signals required for flash media operation.
1.1.2 Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA)
SATA NANDrive uses internal DMA allowing instant
data transfer from/to buffer to/from flash media. This
implementation eliminates microcontroller overhead
associated with the traditional, firmware-based
approach, thereby increasing the data transfer rate.
1.1.3 Power Management Unit (PMU)
The PMU controls the power consumption of SATA
NANDrive. The PMU dramatically reduces the power
consumption of SATA NANDrive by putting the part of
the circuitry that is not in operation into sleep mode. 3)
The Flash File System handles inadvertent power
interrupts and has auto-recovery capability to ensure
SATA NANDrive firmware integrity. For regular power
management, the host must send an
IDLE_IMMEDIATE command and wait for command
ready before powering down SATA NANDrive.
3) For management of the Sleep Mode, refer to “SATA
NANDrive Application Design Guide.”
1.1.4 Embedded Flash File System
The embedded flash file system is an integral part of
SATA NANDrive. It contains MCU firmware that
performs 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 memory address space to
increase the longevity of flash media
3. Keeps track of data file structures
4. Manages system security for the selected
protection zones
1.1.5 Error Correction Code (ECC)
High performance is achieved through optimized
hardware error detection and correction.
1.1.6 Serial Communication Interface (SCI)
The Serial Communication Interface (SCI) is designed
for error reporting. During the product development
stage, it is recommended to provide the SCI port on
the PCB to aid in design validation.
1.1.7 Multi-tasking Interface
The multi-tasking interface enables fast, sustained
write performance by allowing concurrent Read,
Program and Erase operations to multiple flash media.
1.2 SMT Reflow Consideration
The SATA NANDrive family utilizes standard NAND
flash for data storage. Because the high temperature
in a surface-mount soldering reflow process may alter
the content on NAND flash, it is recommended to
program SATA NANDrive after the reflow process.
1.3 Advanced NAND Management
SATA NANDrive’s integrated controller uses
advanced wear-leveling algorithms to substantially
increase the longevity of NAND flash media. Wear
caused by data writes is evenly distributed in all or
select blocks in the device that prevents “hot spots” in
locations that are programmed and erased extensively.
This effective wear-leveling technique results in
optimized device endurance, enhanced data retention
and higher reliability required by long-life applications.
