PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SST’s ATA Flash Disk Controller is the heart of a high-per-
formance, flash media-based data storage system. The
ATA Flash Disk Controller recognizes the control, address,
and data signals on the ATA/IDE bus and translates them
into memory accesses to the standard NAND-type flash
media. The SST55LD019A/B/C device supports Single
Level Cell (SLC) flash media. This technology suits solid
state mass storage applications offering new, expanded
functionality while enabling smaller, lighter designs with
lower power consumption.
The ATA/IDE interface is widely used in such products as
portable and desktop computers, digital cameras, music
players, handheld data collection scanners, PDAs, handy
terminals, personal communicators, audio recorders, moni-
toring devices, and set-top boxes. SST’s ATA Flash Disk
Controller supports standard ATA/IDE protocol with up to
PIO Mode-4 and Multi-word DMA Mode-2 interface.
Utilizing SST’s proprietary SuperFlash memory technol-
ogy, the ATA Flash Disk Controller is factory pre-pro-
grammed with an embedded flash file system which, upon
initial Power-on, recognizes the attached flash media
devices, sets up a bad block table, executes all necessary
handshaking routines for flash media support, and, finally,
performs the low-level format. This process typically takes
about 3 sec + 0.5 sec/GByte of drive capacity, allowing a
2 GByte flash drive to be fully initialized in about 4 sec-
onds.
This technology enables a very fast, completely seamless
integration of flash drives into an embedded design. For
added manufacturing flexibility, system debug, re-initializa-
tion, and user customization can be accomplished either
through the ATA/IDE interface, for ATA Disk Module or
flash drive products, or through the Serial Communication
Interface (SCI), for fully embedded ATA Flash Disk Con-
