CFast2
APCFAxxxxTAXS-XXXX
1. General Description
Apacer’s CFast offers the most reliable and high performance storage which contains a controller,
embedded firmware, and flash media along with a male connector. Using NAND flash memory devices,
CFast interfaces with the host allowing data to be seamlessly transferred between the host and the flash
devices.
CFast is designed with a single-chip controller, offering capacities of up to 64 gigabytes and providing full
support for the SATA II high-speed interface standard. It can operate at sustained access rates of up to
100 megabytes per second, which is much faster than any other solid-state or traditional SATA drive
currently available on the market.
In addition to buffer management through dynamical allocation, CFast adopts the Apacer-specific
dynamic/static wear-leveling scheme to allow uniform use of all storage blocks, ensuring that the lifetime
of a flash media can be significantly increased and the disk performance is optimized as well.
1.1 Performance-Optimized Controller
The controller translates standard 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 card controller. It reduces the
power consumption of the controller by putting circuitry not in operation into sleep mode. The PMU has
zero wake-up latency.
1.1.2 SRAM Buffer
The controller performs as an SRAM buffer to optimize the host’s data transfer to and from the flash
media.
