Refer to Figure 2-1 for the mSATA ArmourDrive block diagram. 1.1.5 Power Interrupt Data Protection 1.1 Optimized mSATA ArmourDrive Dedicated power failure detection and backup power The heart of mSATA ArmourDrive is the SATA NAND circuitry are built in to prevent data integrity issues flash memory controller which translates standard due to sudden power interruptions. SATA signals into flash media data and control signals. The following components contribute to 1.1.6 Error Correction Code (ECC) mSATA ArmourDrives operation. High performance is achieved through optimized 1.1.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) hardware error detection and correction. The MCU translates SATA commands into data and 1.1.7 Serial Communication Interface (SCI) control signals required for flash media operation. The Serial Communication Interface (SCI) is designed 1.1.2 Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA) for error reporting. During the product development stage, it is recommended to provide the SCI port on mSATA ArmourDrive uses internal DMA allowing the PCB to aid in design validation. instant data transfer from/to buffer to/from flash media. This implementation eliminates microcontroller 1.1.8 Multi-tasking Interface overhead associated with the traditional, firmware- The multi-tasking interface enables concurrent Read, based approach, thereby increasing the data transfer Program and Erase operations to multiple NAND flash rate. media. 1.1.3 Power Management Unit (PMU) The PMU controls the power consumption of mSATA 1.2 Advanced NAND Management ArmourDrive. The PMU dramatically reduces the mSATA ArmourDrives integrated controller uses power consumption of mSATA ArmourDrive by putting advanced wear-leveling algorithms to substantially the part of the circuitry that is not in operation into increase the longevity of NAND flash media.
