DESCRIPTION
The DIMMDrive WED7GxxxATA33 is a high performance single
chip flash disk module available in 144 Pin SO-DIMM package.
The module is based on SanDisk NAND Flash technology and
utilizes the 128Mb, 256Mb, 512Mb or 1Gb memory components
to provide the maximum in module density.
The DIMMDrive WED7GxxxATA33 utilizes a SanDisk Flash
ChipSet controller which is designed specifically for use as a
Flash mass storage controller for the SanDisk memory devices.
This interface allows a host computer to issue commands to
read or write blocks of memory in the Flash memory array. The
intelligence to manage the interface protocols, data storage and
retrieval as well as ECC, defect handling and diagnostics are
controlled by this device. Automatic power management and
clock control is handled by the controller as well.
The DIMMDrive WED7GxxxATA33 module will have the same
functionality and capabilities of an intelligent ATA (IDE) disk
drive. An advantage of the on board Flash controller and it's
ATA command set, is the ease of software development by
the user. Once the device has been configured by the user, it
appears to the host as a standard ATA disk drive. Additional
ATA commands have been provided to enhance the system
performance.
The on-board controller is a highly integrated solution and
the controller is designed to handle all intelligent operations,
even the rare cases when new defects arise and need to be
mapped out or replaced by a spare. The hardware performs
the complicated task of ECC detection and correction and
will return good data to the host. The controller manages all
defects and errors and makes the Flash memory appear as
perfect memory to the host.
The DIMMDrive WED7GxxxATA33 module also provides a
more cost effective solution to the traditional hard disk media.
The module is perfect for applications requiring upgradeability
to higher densities and for those applications with limited space
availability and power consumption requirements.
Unlike standard IDE drives, no cables or extra space is required.
The module has no moving parts providing significant reduction
in power consumption and increasing reliability. Simply insert
the module into a standard 144 Pin SO-DIMM socket and you
then have a bootable flash disk.
The DIMMDrive WED7GxxxATA33 is available with memory
densities of 16MB to 768MB today with 1GB density available
in Q3/02.
