General Description Apacer’s Industrial Compact Flash Card (CFC) offers the most reliable and high performance storage which is compatible with CF Type I and Type II devise. Unlike the ordinary consumer Compact Flash cards, Apacer Industrial Compact Flash card provides solid traceability to ensure all products HW/SW are the same as you qualified. Apacer’s CFC provides complete PCMCIA - ATA functionality and compatibility. Apacer ‘s Compact Flash technology is designed for use in Point of Sale (POS) terminals, telecom, IP-STB, medical instruments, surveillance systems, industrial PCs and handheld applications. Featuring technologies as Advanced Wear-leveling algorithms, S.M.A.R.T, Enhanced Data Integrity, Builtin Hardware ECC, and Intelligent Power Failure Recovery, Apacer’s Industrial Compact Flash Card assures users of a versatile device on data storage. 1.1 Performance-Optimized Controller The Compact Flash Card Controller translates standard CF signals into flash media data and control signals. 1.1.1 Power Management Unit (PMU) The power management unit (PMU) controls the power consumption of the Compact Flash card controller. It reduces the power consumption of the Compact Flash Card Controller by putting circuitry not in operation into sleep mode. The PMU has zero wake-up latency. 1.1.2 SRAM Buffer The Compact Flash Card Controller performs as an SRAM buffer to optimize the host’s data transfer to and from the flash media. 4 © 2009 Apacer Technology Inc.

Flash Management 5.1 Intelligent Endurance Design 5.1.1 Advanced wear-leveling algorithms The NAND flash devices are limited by a certain number of write cycles. When using a file system, frequent file table updates is mandatory. If some area on the flash wears out faster than others, it would significantly reduce the lifetime of the whole device, even if the erase counts of others are far from the write cycle limit. Thus, if the write cycles can be distributed evenly across the media, the lifetime of the media can be prolonged significantly. The scheme is achieved both via buffer management and Apacerspecific advanced wear leveling to ensure that the lifetime of the flash media can be increased, and the disk access performance is optimized as well. 5.1.2 S.M.A.R.T. technology S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, an open standard allowing disk drives to automatically monitor their own health and report potential problems. It protects the user from unscheduled downtime by monitoring and storing critical drive performance and calibration parameters. Ideally, this should allow taking proactive actions to prevent impending drive failure. Apacer SMART feature adopts the standard SMART command B0h to read data from the drive. When the Apacer SMART Utility running on the host, it analyzes and reports the disk status to the host before the device is in critical condition. 5.1.3 Built-in hardware ECC The ATA-Disk Module uses BCH Error Detection Code (EDC) and Error Correction Code (ECC) algorithms which correct up to eight random single-bit errors for each 512-byte block of data. High performance is fulfilled through hardware-based error detection and correction. 5.1.4 Enhanced data integrity The properties of NAND flash memory make it ideal for applications that require high integrity while operating in challenging environments. The integrity of data to NAND flash memory is generally maintained through ECC algorithms and bad block management. Flash controllers can support up to 8 bits ECC capability for accuracy of data transactions, and bad block management is a preventive mechanism from loss of data by retiring unusable media blocks and relocating the data to the other blocks, along with the integration of advanced wear leveling algorithms, so that the lifespan of device can be expanded. 10 © 2009 Apacer Technology Inc. Rev. 1.2 Value Added Compact Flash Ⅲ series AP-CFxxxxE3XR-XXXXJ 5.2 Intelligent Power Failure Recovery The Low Power Detection on the controller initiates cached data saving before the power supply to the device is too low. This feature prevents the device from crash and ensures data integrity during an unexpected blackout. Once power was failure before cached data writing back into flash, data in the cache will lost. The next time the power is on, the controller will check these fragmented data segment, and, if necessary, replace them with old data kept in flash until programmed successfully. 11 © 2009 Apacer Technology Inc.
