SATA-Disk Module 4
APSDMxxxxX5AN-ACMXX
1. General Description
Apacer’s SATA-Disk Module 4-M (SDM4-M) is a high-performance, embedded SSD designed to replace
the conventional SATA hard disk drive. SDM SSD can be plugged into a standard Serial ATA 7-pin
connector commonly found in desktops, IT-STB, industrial PC and thin client systems. Moreover, Apacer
provides an innovative way for design-in customers to strengthen the vibration-resistance between
SDM4-M and mainboard. Though built with MLC, this SSD can work in highly demanding
environment as it can withstand ambient temperature from -40°C to +85°C (for certain capacities
only).
Apacer’s SDM4-M has a built-in microcontroller with file management firmware that communicates with
SATA standard interface. This means SDM4-M does not require additional or proprietary host software
such as Flash File System (FFS) and Memory Technology Driver (MTD). This product is well suited for
embedded flash storage applications offering new and expanded functionalities as well as more cost-
effective designs, better performance and increased reliability.
SDM4-M Series is designed to work at 5 Volts and uses a standard SATA driver that complies with major
operating systems such as Microsoft’s Windows series.
Featuring technologies as Apacer-specific Wear-leveling algorithms, S.M.A.R.T, Enhanced Data Integrity,
Intelligent Power Failure Management, ATA Secure Erase, and TRIM, Apacer assures users of a versatile
device on data storage.
1.1 Performance-Optimized Controller
The heart of SDM4-M is the Flash controller, which translates standard SATA signals into the data and
controls of the flash media. The SATA and Flash Management controller are specifically designed to
attain high data throughput from the host to the flash.
1.1.1 Power Management Unit (PMU)
The power management unit (PMU) controls the power consumption of SDM4-M. It can dramatically
extend product battery life by leaving the idle part of the circuitry into sleep mode. The PMU has zero
wake-up latency.
1.1.2 SRAM Buffer
The Flash Controller performs as a SRAM buffer to optimize the host’s data transfer to and from the flash
media.
