SATA 3Gbps CFast CAG3B Series TDK × CFast™–The Next-generation CompactFlash™ for the Future Social Infrastructure
●“CFast™” is the next-generation CompactFlash™ card standard established by the CompactFlash™ Association. Identical in size to a CF card, CFast™ is mounted with a SATA interface and realizes twice the transfer speed of conventional types. TDK has developed the new CAG3B series of CFast™ cards equipped with controller IC, “GBDriver® RS3”. The product lineup features capacities of 1GB to 32GB and offers a wide range of fast, highly reliable cards for industrial applications such as operation systems, control programs and user data storage as well as for embedded applications.
●FEATURES
■Employed TDK CFast™ controller GBDriver® RS3.
■Serial ATA Standard Rev.2.6-compliant. (Gen1: 1.5Gbps / Gen2: 3.0Gbps) Read 105MB/s, Write 60MB/s achieved.
■Equipped with 15bits/512Bytes, 44bits/1KByte ECC (Automatically selected by the flash memory).
■Equipped with a data randomizer function. Data patterns are automatically randomized during the write process, to minimize the risk of bit errors due to writing the same data repeatedly.
■Equipped with an auto refresh function. While there is no access by the host, internal data are automatically refreshed. This function is paused during access, so there is no delay in response. Also, an auto recovery function incorporated.
■ Equipped with an advanced global static wear leveling function “TDK Smart Swap” algorithm. This algorithm counts the number of times each memory block is erased (programmed) and replaces blocks uniformly, which drastically improves endurance of the installed flash memory.
■The 32GB type for example supports approximately 3.1 billion erase cycles. Even at a rate of 5 erases per second, this equates to an expected service life of 20 years.
■TDK's proprietary algorithm reduces the risk of collateral data errors such as corruption of data other than the data being written if power is interrupted when writing data.
■CFast™ life monitor software “TDK SMART” is included. Drive lifespan can be checked quantitatively in real time, allowing easy maintenance.
■Equipped with a total sector number setting function (clipping function). CHS parameters can also be customized.
■Equipped with AES 128bit (Advanced Encryption Function).
■Supports security function based on ATA standards. The function allows customers to set and remove a password and erases data securely. By combining the AES encryption function, it is possible to prevent unauthorized copying.
■Equipped with an ATA standard Trim function. The function allows complete deletion of all drive data, which ensures easy replacement or safe disposal.
■Dedicated FAE (Field Application Engineer) system provides speedy and reliable solutions e.g. system compatibility verification and customizing.
■Complies with RoHS directives. The components, lead terminals, etc. are all free from hazardous substances prohibited by the RoHS Directives of the EU (European Union).
