GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Macronixs Solid State Disk controller MX9691L is a wide-range supply voltage(3.3Volt~5Volt) and fully integrated flash memory controller that provides all the control logic for PCMCIA/True IDE host and flash memory. The MX9691L combines 1KB dual-port buffer and buffer manager, integrated MX93011 DSP core, and a complete host interface for both the PC Card ATA and True IDE standard.
FEATURE
Host Interface
• PCMCIA 2.1 and PC Card ATA standard compatible.
- Memory mapped or I/O operation.
• Compatible with all PC Card Services and Socket Service.
• Fast ATA host-to-buffer burst transfer rates up to 20MB/sec. which support PIO mode 4(16.6MB/sec) and DMA mode 2(16.6MB/sec).
• Automatic sensing of PCMCIA or True IDE host inter face.
• Integrated PCMCIA attribute memory of 256 bytes (CIS) - CIS and Buffer RAM use same SRAM area to simplify internal bus design
• PCMCIA card configuration register support.
• Polarity control for Host reset signal.
• PCMCIA twin card support.
• PCMCIA based ATA address decode support.
• Emulate the IBM task file for PC/AT.
• Separate status for Host reset signal and Host program reset.
• Separate Host and Disk interrupt pins.
Flash Memory Interface
• Support all the control signals to execute read/ write/ erase operation for flash memory.
• Flexible Disk Capacity Configuration for series type or linear type flash memory
- Upto 32MB(unformatted) capacity for 16 pcs. 16Mbit linear type flash memory.
- Upto 1GB(unformatted) capacity for 32 pcs. 256Mbit series type flash memory.
• Flash Memory Power Down or write protect control support.
• Flash Memory Ready/Busy status detect.
• Inverted data bus control to reduce flash memory program/erase operation in DOS FAT and ECC code field.
• Optional store firmware in flash memory array w/o external ROM while MXICs MX29F1610(linear type) used.
- Allow code fetch in Shadow ROM during flash memory program or erase.
Buffer RAM Manager
• Dual port circular Buffer RAM control
• 1KB data Buffer RAM.
• Automatically correct error data in Buffer RAM.
- Single word error correct and double word detect.
• Provide logic to speed up Buffer RAM access.
• Support 8 bit as well as 16 bit transfer on host bus.
DSP core
• High performance MX93011 DSP (21Mips) core.
• 4KB Internal RAM(direct access).
• 2KB Internal expansion RAM(indirect access) for store data or shadow ROM space.
• ICE debugging mode supported to ease system verification.
• Lower power and automatic power saving operation.
- Automatic Standby Mode. (Operating Current < 10mA, VCC=5.5V), wake-up by interrupt signal.
- Very Low Operating Current Sleep Mode.
(<1mA,VCC=5.5V), wake-up by Host reset signal or Host program reset or ATA command asserted by host.
Technology
• 128 pin LQFP(14X14X1.4 mm3)
• 128 pin TQFP(14X14X1.0 mm3)
• 0.6um Low-power, High-speed CMOS technology.
