3.1
Figure 1 shows iDiskOnChip operation from the system level, including the major hardware blocks.
iDiskOnChip integrates an IDE controller and flash devices. Communication with the host occurs
through the host interface, using the standard ATA protocol. Communication with the flash
device(s) occurs through the flash interface.
3.2
The controller is equipped with 16KB of internal memory that is used for storing code and data. The
internal memory can also be used as an intermediate memory for storing data blocks during a
wear-leveling procedure.
An 8KB internal boot ROM includes basic routines for accessing the flash memories and for
loading the main code into the internal memory
The host interface provides all required signals, is fully compliant with the PC Card standard, and
supports True-IDE mode operation requirements.
3.3
Highly sophisticated Error Correction Code algorithms are implemented. The ECC unit consists of
the Parity Unit (parity-byte generation) and the Syndrome Unit (syndrome-byte computation). This
unit implements a Reed-Solomon algorithm that can correct two bits per 512 bytes in an ECC block.
Code-byte generation during write operations, as well as error detection during read operation, is
implemented on the fly without any speed penalties.
