Machts gut Erbse1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SSTI Flash memory modules emulate hard-disk drives SATURDAY, JULY 22, 2000 12:00 AM CMP Media http://www.bigcharts.com/news/articles.asp?newsid=482427156&… Jul. 21, 2000 (Electronic Engineering Times - CMP via COMTEX) -- SUNNYVALE, CALIF. - Silicon Storage Technology Inc. has jumped into the embedded mass-storage market with a line of flash memory modules that emulate hard-disk drives. The ATA-Disk Chip (ADC) family kicks off with 12 pin-compatible models storing 8 to 64 Mbytes in a 32-pin dual in-line package and geared for 3.3- or 5-volt operation. These are "the first single-device ATA/IDE protocol-compatible solid-state embedded mass data storage devices," said product marketing manager Samuel Nakhimovsky. The modules have a built-in microcontroller and file management firmware that supports the standard ATA interface. Nakhimovsky called a write-protect pin that guards data from erasure or overwrite "mandatory for secure information data storage for applications such as video-on-demand [and] interactive gaming." The modules support ATA data transfer speeds up to PIO Mode-4 with low power dissipation: 30 mA typical for the 3.3-V parts, 50 mA at 5 V. Sustained write performance is up to 1.7 Mbytes/second and burst data transfer rates to or from a host are 6.6 or 20 Mbytes/s, at 3.3 or 5 V respectively. Built-in ECC support corrects up to three erroneous bytes per 512-byte sector. Mean time between failures tops 1 million hours. The modules are sampling now, with production slated for August. In lots of 100,000, pricing on the 5-V parts ranges from $22 for an 8-Mbyte module to $115 for 64 Mbytes. |
