Embedded USB Mass Storage Drive
General Description
General Description
Micron’s RealSSD™ embedded universal serial bus (USB) mass storage drives provide
1GB, 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of USB 2.0-compatible memory storage in a small form factor.
The embedded USB drive is an ideal solution for applications that require low cost and
high reliability. Typical applications include PC caching and boot drives for embedded
computing, server, and networking systems.
High performance, reliability, and easy implementation make Micron’s RealSSD
embedded USBs an ideal storage solution. To consistently deliver the best possible
performance, the embedded USB uses only SLC NAND Flash, and all densities use two
x8 NAND channels to the controller. In addition to being fast, SLC NAND Flash offers
solid reliability, coupled with ECC and wear-leveling. The USB system interface is widely
available in many system designs and is easy to implement, enabling rapid time to
market.
The embedded USB consists of two TSOP-packaged Micron NAND Flash components, a
USB controller, and a 10-pin USB connector on a PCB. Different densities are available
depending on the number of die in each package and the density of each NAND Flash
die (see Figure 2). The drive operates at 5V ±5%. It uses industry-standard 10-pin
connectors and supports USB Specification, Revision 2.0. It is also backward compatible
with Revision 1.1 and can be used with operating systems that support USB Mass
Storage Class Specification, Revision 1.0.

Error Management
Error Management
The RealSSD embedded USB incorporates advanced technology for defect and error
management. It uses various combinations of hardware-based error correction algo-
rithms and firmware-based wear-leveling algorithms.
Over the life of the drive, uncorrectable errors may occur. An uncorrectable error is
defined as data that is reported as successfully programmed to the drive, but when it is
read out of the drive, the data differs from what was programmed. See Table 4 for the
uncorrectable bit error rate.
The mean time between failures (MTBF) can be predicted based on component reli-
ability data obtained by following the methods referenced in the Telecordia SR-332 reli-
ability prediction procedures for electronic equipment.

Electrical Characteristics
Stresses greater than those listed may cause permanent damage to the drive. This is a
stress rating only, and functional operation of the drive at these or any other conditions
above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect reli-
ability.
