GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DimmDrive WED7GxxxIDE36 is a high performance
single chip ash disk IDE module with Power Failure
Protection Circuit available in 144 Pin SO-DIMM
package.
The DimmDrive WED7GxxxIDE33 does not have the
additional PFP circuit.
The additional circuit provides protection against accidental
power loss. This circuit provides an internal power supply
and control logic to stop receiving data and complete
writing the last sector of data received. This is not intended
to be backup for the host system. It will only allow the
last sector received to nish writing and no more. It will
improve card integrity in applications with a high risk of
power failure. The read/write unit is 1 sector (512 bytes)
sequential access.
The module is based on SanDisk NAND Flash technology
and utilizes 128Mb, 256Mb, 512Mb or 1Gb memory
components to provide the maximum in module density.
The DimmDrive WED7GxxxIDE36/33 utilizes a SanDisk
Flash ChipSet controller for the SanDisk memory devices.
This interface allows a host computer to issue commands
to read or write blocks of memory in the Flash memory
array. The intelligence to manage the interface protocols,
data storage and retrieval as well as ECC, defect handling
and diagnostics are controlled by this device. Automatic
power management and clock control is handled by the
controller as well.
The DimmDrive WED7GxxxIDE36/33 module will have
the same functionality and capabilities of an intelligent ATA
(IDE) disk drive. Once the device has been congured
by the user, it appears to the host as a standard ATA disk
drive.
The on-board controller is a highly integrated solution
designed to handle all intelligent operations, even the rare
cases when new defects arise and need to be mapped
out or replaced by a spare. The hardware performs the
complicated task of ECC detection and correction and will
return good data to the host. The controller manages all
defects and errors and makes the Flash memory appear
