1. General Description
Apacer’s ATA-Disk Module (ADM) is a high-performance, embedded flash drive designed to replace the
conventional IDE hard disk drive. The ADMs can be plugged into a standard IDE 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.
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, ADM 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 all major
operating systems such as Microsoft’s Windows series, Mac OS family, and Unix variants.
Featuring technologies as Intelligent Power Failure Recovery, ATA Secure Erase, S.M.A.R.T., Advanced
wear-leveling algorithms, Secure Protection Zone, and Enhanced Data Integrity, Apacer’s ADM assures
users of a versatile device on data storage.
1.1 Performance-Optimized Controller
The kernel of an ATA-Disk Module is the ATA controller, which translates standard ATA signals into the
data and controls of the flash media. This proprietary ATA controller is specifically designed to attain high
data throughput from the host to the flash.
1.1.1 Power Management Unit (PMU)
The power management unit (PMU) controls the power consumption of the ATA-Disk Module. It reduces
the power consumption of the ATA-Disk Module Controller by putting circuitry not in operation into sleep
mode. The PMU has zero wake-up latency.
1.1.2 SRAM Buffer
The ATA-Disk Module Controller performs as an SRAM buffer to optimize the host’s data transfer to and
from the flash media.
