Refer to Figure 2-1 for the CFast ArmourDrive block diagram. 1.1.5 Error Correction Code (ECC) 1.1 Optimized CFast ArmourDrive The ECC technology uses advanced algorithms to The heart of CFast ArmourDrive is the SATA NAND detect and correct errors, ensuring data integrity and flash controller, which translates standard SATA extending the SSD lifespan. signals into flash media data and control signals. The following components contribute to CFast 1.1.6 Multi-tasking Interface ArmourDrives operation. The multi-tasking interface enables fast, sequential 1.1.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) write performance by allowing concurrent Read, Program and Erase operations to multiple flash media. The MCU translates SATA commands into data and control signals required for flash media operation. 1.2 Advanced NAND Management 1.1.2 Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA) CFast ArmourDrives controller uses advanced wear- CFast ArmourDrive uses internal DMA allowing instant leveling algorithms to substantially increase the data transfer from/to buffer to/from flash media. This longevity of NAND flash media. Wear caused by data implementation eliminates microcontroller overhead writes is evenly distributed in all or select blocks in the associated with the traditional, firmware-based device that prevents hot spots in locations that are approach, thereby increasing the data transfer rate. programmed and erased extensively. This effective 1.1.3 Power Management Unit (PMU) wear-leveling technique results in optimized device endurance, enhanced data retention and higher The PMU controls the power consumption of CFast reliability required by long-life applications. ArmourDrive. The PMU dramatically reduces the power consumption of CFast ArmourDrive by putting the part of the circuitry that is not in operation into sleep mode. The Flash File System handles inadvertent power interrupts and has auto-recovery capability to ensure CFast ArmourDrive firmware integrity. For regular power management, the host must send an IDLE IMMEDIATE command and wait for command ready before powering down CFast ArmourDrive. 1.1.4 Embedded Flash File System The embedded flash file system is an integral part of CFast ArmourDrive. It contains MCU firmware that performs the following tasks: 1. Translates host side signals into flash media writes and reads 2. Provides flash media wear leveling to spread the flash writes across all memory address space to increase the longevity of flash media 3. Keeps track of data file structures These specifications are subject to change without notice. 01/10/2020 2020 Greenliant 2 S71490-01 GLS FS0019 Rev. 00
