1. Introduction

The Industrial 2.5” PATA (IDE) SSD products are designed to follow ATA/ATAPI-6 standard. The main used Flash

memories are Samsung SLC-NAND Type Flash memory chips from 128MB up to 8GB, and Micron SLC-NAND Type

Flash memory chips for 16GB only. The operating temperature grade is optional for standard grade 0°C ~ 70°C and

industrial grade -40°C ~ +85°C. The Industrial 2.5” PATA (IDE) SSD are designed electrically compliant with the

conventional IDE hard disk and support True IDE Mode. The data transfer modes supports PIO 0~4, MWDMA 0~2, or

UDMA 0~4; Default setting are PIO mode-4 or UDMA-4. 2.5” PATA (IDE) SSD features an extremely light weight, reliable,

low-profile form factor.

The Industrial 2.5” PATA (IDE) SSD provides a high level interface to the host computer. This interface allows a host

computer to issue commands to the SSD to read or write blocks of memory. The host addresses the card in 512 byte

sectors. Each sector is protected by a powerful 4 bits Error Correcting Code (ECC). The Industrial 2.5” PATA (IDE) SSD,

it uses intelligent controller which manages interface protocols, data storage and retrieval as well as ECC, defect handling

and diagnostics, power management and clock control.

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the used high tech Industrial 2.5” PATA (IDE) SSD controller.

1.3. ATA/ATAPI-6 Standard

The Industrial 2.5” PATA (IDE) SSD disks are fully compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-6 standard.

1.4. Technology Independence - Static Wear Leveling

In order to gain the best management for flash memory, the Industrial Rugged Metal 2.5” PATA (IDE) SSD supports

Static Wear-leveling technology to manage the Flash system. The life of flash memory is limited; the management

is to increase the life of the flash product.

A static wear-leveling algorithm evenly distributes data over an entire Flash cell array and searches for the least used

physical blocks. The identified low cycled sectors are used to write the data to those locations. If blocks are empty, the

write occurs normally. If blocks contain static data, it moves that data to a more heavily used location before it moves the

newly written data. The static wear leveling maximizes effective endurance Flash array compared to no wear leveling or

dynamic wear leveling.

1.5. Conformal coating

Conformal coating is a protective, dielectric coating designed to conform to the surface of an assembled printed circuit

board. Commonly used conformal coatings include silicone, acrylic, urethane and epoxy. We apply only silicone on our

storages products upon requested especially by customers. The type of silicone coating features good thermal shock

resistance due to flexibility. It is also easy to apply and repair.

Conformal coating offers protection of circuitry from moisture, fungus, dust and corrosion caused by extreme

environments. It also prevents damage from those Flash storages handling during construction, installation and use, and

reduces mechanical stress on components and protects from thermal shock. The greatest advantage of conformal coating

is to allow greater component density due to increased dielectric strength between conductors.

We use MIL-I-46058C silicon conformal coating.
