Temperature
miniSATA
(mSATA)
ArmourDrive™ solid state drive modules (referred to
as “mSATA ArmourDrive” in this fact sheet) are high-
reliability, fully integrated solid state drives. They
combine an 8, 16, 32 or 64 GByte SATA NANDrive™
and power interrupt data protection circuit on a printed
circuit board (PCB) module. These products are ideal
for portable applications that require removable 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, test and measurement instrumentation,
multi-functional printers, video and audio recorders,
network servers and car infotainment systems.
mSATA ArmourDrive is a removable solid state drive
(SSD) that provides the functionality and compatibility
of a complete SATA hard disk drive (HDD) in a 29.85
mm x 50.80 mm form factor. 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).
mSATA ArmourDrive 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.
mSATA ArmourDrive’s advanced NAND management
technology enhances data reliability and security,
improves endurance and accurately estimates the
remaining life 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.
mSATA ArmourDrive is offered in a standard JEDEC
52-pin PCB module form factor.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Each mSATA ArmourDrive module contains a NANDrive multi-chip package, which integrates a SATA NAND
flash memory controller with up to eight discrete NAND flash die. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the mSATA ArmourDrive
block diagram.
1.1
Optimized mSATA ArmourDrive
1.1.5
Power Interrupt Data Protection
The heart of mSATA ArmourDrive is the SATA NAND
flash memory controller which translates standard
SATA signals into flash media data and control
signals. The following components contribute to
mSATA ArmourDrive’s operation.
1.1.1
Microcontroller Unit (MCU)
Dedicated power failure detection and backup power
circuitry are built in to prevent data integrity issues
due to sudden power interruptions.
1.1.6
Error Correction Code (ECC)
High performance is achieved through optimized
hardware error detection and correction.
1.1.7
Serial Communication Interface (SCI)
The MCU translates SATA commands into data and
control signals required for flash media operation.
1.1.2
Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA)
mSATA ArmourDrive 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 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.
1.1.8
Multi-tasking Interface
The multi-tasking interface enables concurrent Read,
Program and Erase operations to multiple NAND flash
media.
The PMU controls the power consumption of mSATA
ArmourDrive. The PMU dramatically reduces the
power consumption of mSATA ArmourDrive by putting
the part of the circuitry that is not in operation into
3)
sleep mode.
The Flash File System handles inadvertent power
interrupts and has auto-recovery capability to ensure
mSATA ArmourDrive firmware integrity. For regular
power management, the host must send an
IDLE_IMMEDIATE command and wait for command
ready before powering down mSATA ArmourDrive.
3)
For management of the Sleep Mode, please refer to
“SATA NANDrive Application Design Guide.”
1.2
Advanced NAND Management
mSATA ArmourDrive’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.
1.1.4
Embedded Flash File System
The embedded flash file system is an integral part of
mSATA ArmourDrive. 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
