1.3. DRAM Buffer
SSDs designed with a 512Mbits DDRII SDRAM buffer which is support high transfer rate as a data buffer for the SSD;
SSD with SDRAM buffer is able to deliver excellent random data transfer speed.
1.4. Flash Management Technology - Static Wear Leveling
In order to gain the best management for flash memory, APRO 1.8” micro SATA II SLC SSD HERMES-ER Series supports
Static Wear-leveling technology to manage the Flash system. The life of flash memory is limited; the management is to
increase the life of the flash product.
A static wear-leveling algorithm evenly distributes data over an entire Flash cell array and searches for the least used
physical blocks. The identified low cycled sectors are used to write the data to those locations. If blocks are empty, the
write occurs normally. If blocks contain static data, it moves that data to a more heavily used location before it moves the
newly written data. The static wear leveling maximizes effective endurance Flash array compared to no wear leveling or
dynamic wear leveling.

Product Specification
1.5. Conformal Coating
Conformal coating is a protective, dielectric coating designed to conform to the surface of an assembled printed circuit
board. Commonly used conformal coatings include silicone, acrylic, urethane and epoxy. APRO applies only silicone on
APRO storages products upon requested especially by customers. The type of silicone coating features good thermal
shock resistance due to flexibility. It is also easy to apply and repair.
Conformal coating offers protection of circuitry from moisture, fungus, dust and corrosion caused by extreme
environments. It also prevents damage from those Flash storages handling during construction, installation and use, and
reduces mechanical stress on components and protects from thermal shock. The greatest advantage of conformal coating
is to allow greater component density due to increased dielectric strength between conductors.
APRO apply MIL-I-46058C silicon conformal coating.
1.6. Bad Block Management
Bad blocks of NAND flash may accumulate up to 2% of entire number of blocks during its manufacturing process and
during the flash operational usage.
A system must be able to recognize bad block(s) based on the original bad block information and create a bad block table
to keep track of blocks that fail during use. The first block of NAND Flash (block 0) is guaranteed to be good. The bad
block information is stored in the reservoir area that is located in the highest address region of the NAND flash. Once the
bad blocks have been located, and the bad blocks be no longer accessed.
To locate the bad blocks on a brand new device, read out each block. Any block that is not all FFFFh in 1st sector of 1st or
2nd page in a spare area is a bad block.
Although random bit errors may occur during use, this does not necessarily
mean that a block is bad. Generally, a block should be marked as bad only when there is a problem or erase failure. This
can be determined by doing a status read after erase/program operation.
The flash memory is initialized by formatting
the flash memory into a reserved area and user area.
In order to detect the initial bad blocks to handle run time bad blocks, APRO HERMES Series’ SSD provides the Bad
Block Management scheme. It remaps a bad block to one of the reserved blocks so that the data contained in one bad
block is not lost and new data writes on a bad block is avoided.

Description : The IDENTIFY DEVICE command enables the host to receive parameter information from the device.
When the command is issued, the device sets the BSY bit to one, prepares to transfer the 256 words of device
identification data to the host, sets the DRQ bit to one, clears the BSY bit to zero, and asserts INTRQ if nIEN is cleared to

zero. The host may then transfer the data by reading the Data register. Table of Check power mode command for inputs
information defines the arrangement and meaning of the parameter words in the buffer. All reserved bits or words shall be
zero.
Some parameters are defined as a 16-bit value. A word that is defined as a 16-bit value places the most significant bit of
the value on signal line DD15 and the least significant bit on signal line DD0.
Some parameters are defined as 32-bit
values (e.g. words (61:60)). Such fields are transfer using two successive word transfers. The device will first transfer the
least significant bits, bits (15:0) of the value, on signal lines DD(15:0) respectively. After the least significant bits have
been transferred, the most significant bits, bits(31:16) of the value, shall be transferred on DD(15:0) respectively.
Some parameters are defined as a string of ASCII characters.

Description : This command writes the number of sectors specified in the Sector Count register. The number of sectors

command is issued, the SECTOR Count register contains the number of sectors (not the number of blocks) requested.

APRO Industrial 1.8” micro SATA II SLC SSD built-in DDRII 512Mbits SDRAM – HERMES-ER Series
© 2012 APRO Co., Ltd.
Product Specification
The device shall interrupt for each DRQ block transferred. IF the number of requested sectors is not evenly divisible by
the block count, as many full blocks as possible are transferred, followed by a final, partial block transfer. The partial
block transfer is for n sectors, where: N = Remainder ( sector count / block count).
If the WRITE MULTIPLE command is received when WRITE MULTIPLE commands are disabled, the Write Multiple
operation shall be rejected with command aborted.
Device errors encountered during WRITE MULTIPLE commands are posted after the attempted device write of the block
or partial block transferred. The command ends with the sector in error, even if the error was in the middle of a block.
Subsequent blocks are not transferred in the event of an error.
The contents of the Command Block Registers following the transfer of a data block that had a sector in error are
undefined. The host should retry the transfer as individual requests to obtain valid error information. Interrupt pending is
set when the DRQ bit is set to one at the beginning of each block or partial block.
An unrecoverable error encountered during the execution of this command results in the termination of the command.
The Command Block register contain the address of the sector where the first unrecoverable error occurred. The amount
of data transferred is indeterminate.
Error register : IDNF shall be set to one if a user-accessible address could not be found. IDNF shall be set to one if an
address outside of the range user-accessible address is requested if command aborted is not returned.
ABRT shall be set to one if an error, include an ICRC error, has occurred during an Ultra DMA data transfer. ABRT shall be
set to one if an address outside of the range of user-accessible address is requested if IDNF is not set to one.
LBA Low, LBA Mid, and LBA High, Device : Shall be written with the address of first unrecoverable error.
Status register :
BSY will be cleared to zero indicating command completion
DRDY will be set to one. (If bit 8 of IDENTIFY DEVICE word 59 is cleared to zero, a successful SET MULTIPLE MODE
command shall proceed a WRITE MULTIPLE command.)
DF (Device Fault) will be set to one if a device fault has occurred.
DRQ will be cleared to zero
ERR will be set to one if an Error register bit is set to one.
Prerequisites : DRDY set to one. If bit 8 of IDENTIFY DEVICE word 59 is cleared to zero, a successful SET
MULTIPLE MODE command shall proceed a WRITE MULTIPLE command.

Description : This command transfer 512 bytes of data from the host. In Table of Idle command for inputs information
defines the content of this information. If the password does not match the password previously saved by the device, the
device shall reject the command with command aborted.
The SECURITY ERASE PREPARE command shall be completed immediately prior to the SECURITY ERASE UNIT
command. If the device receives a SECURITY ERASE UNIT command without an immediately prior SECURITY ERASE
PREPARE command, the device shall command abort the SECURITY ERASE UNIT command.
When Normal Erase mode is specified, the SECURITY ERASE UNIT command shall write binary zeroes to all user data
areas. The Enhanced Erase mode is optional. When Enhanced Erase Mode is specified, the device shall write
predetermined data patterns to all user areas. In Enhanced Erase mode, all previously written user data shall be
overwritten, including sectors that are no longer in use due to reallocation.
This command shall disable the device Lock mode, however, the Master password shall still be stored internally within
the device and may be reactivated later a new User password is set.
The device shall return aborted if the device is in Frozen mode, not preceded by a SECURITY ERASE PREPARE
command, if Enhance Erase is specified but not supported, or if the data area is not successfully overwritten.
Error Register : ABRT shall be set to one if the device is in Frozen mode, not preceded by a SECURITY ERASE
PREPARE command, or if the data area is not successfully overwritten. ABRT may be set to one if the device is not able
to complete the action requested by the command.
