Description

Product Description: The GLS85LS1002A / 1004A / 1008B / 1016B / 1032B / 1064B Industrial Temperature and Commercial Temperature SATA NANDrive™ devices (referred to as “SATA NANDrive” in this datasheet) are fully integrated solid state drives. They combine an advanced Greenliant NAND controller and 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 GByte of NAND flash in a multi-chip package. These products are ideal for embedded and portable applications that require smaller form factor and more reliable data storage.
SATA-interface solid state mass storage technology is widely used in portable and industrial computers, set top boxes, multi-functional printers, point-of-sales terminals, video and audio recorders, medical instruments and car infotainment systems.
SATA NANDrive is a single device, solid state drive (SSD) that provides the functionality and compatibility of a complete SATA hard disk drive (HDD) in a 14 mm x 24 mm BGA package for easy, space saving mounting to a system motherboard. These products surpass traditional storage in their small size, security, reliability, ruggedness and low power consumption.
The integrated NAND flash controller with built-in advanced NAND management firmware communicates with the host through the standard SATA protocol. It does not require any additional or proprietary software such as the Flash File System (FFS) and Memory Technology Driver (MTD). SATA NANDrive is pre-programmed with a 10-Byte unique serial ID and has the option of programming an additional 10-Byte serial ID for even greater system security.
SATA NANDrive’s advanced NAND management technology enhances data reliability and security, improves endurance and accurately estimates the remaining life of the NAND flash devices. This innovative technology combines robust NAND controller hardware error correction capabilities with advanced wear-leveling algorithms and bad block management to significantly extend the life of the product.
SATA NANDrive devices are offered in a 145-ball BGA, 1 mm ball pitch package.
