1. General Description
Apacer’s ATA-Disk Module (ADM) is a high-performance, embedded flash drive designed to replace the
conventional PATA (ATA/IDE) hard disk drive. The ADMs can be plugged into a standard ATA connector
commonly found in desktops, IT-STB, industrial PCs and thin client systems. Apacer’s ADM SSD has a
built-in microcontroller with file management firmware that communicates with the ATA standard
interfaces. No additional or proprietary host software is required.
The ADM is well suited for embedded flash storage applications by offering new and expanded
functionalities as well as more cost-effective designs, better performance and increased reliability. The
ATA DOM is designed to work at either 5 or 3.3 Volts, supports the standard ATA/IDE protocol for up to
PIO Mode-4, Multiword DMA Mode-2 and Ultra DMA Mode-4 interfaces, and uses the standard ATA
driver complying with most major operating systems .
Featuring technologies as Advanced Wear-leveling algorithms, S.M.A.R.T, flash block management,
power failure management, and ATA Secure Erase, Apacer’s ADM assures users of a versatile device on
data storage.
2. Functional Block
The ATA-Disk Module (ADM) includes the ATA controller and flash media, as well as the ATA standard
interface. Figure 2-1 shows the functional block diagram.
