Product Description
The GLS85LS1002A Commercial Grade SATA
NANDrive™ device (referred to as “SATA NANDrive”
in this datasheet) is a high-performance, fully
integrated solid state drive. It combines an integrated
SATA NAND flash memory controller and 2GByte of
NAND flash in a multi-chip package. This product is
ideal for embedded and portable applications that
require smaller form factor and more reliable data
storage.
SATA-interface solid state mass storage technology is
widely used in portable and industrial computers, set-
top boxes, multi-functional printers, point-of-sales
terminals, video and audio recorders, medical
instruments and car infotainment systems.
The SATA NANDrive is a single device, solid state
drive (SSD) that provides the functionality and
compatibility of a complete SATA hard disk drive
(HDD) in a 14 mm x 24 mm BGA package for easy,
space saving mounting to a system motherboard.
These products surpass traditional storage in their
small size, security, reliability, ruggedness and low
power consumption.
The integrated NAND flash controller with built-in
advanced NAND management firmware
communicates with the Host through the standard
SATA protocol. It does not require any additional or
proprietary software such as the Flash File System
(FFS) and Memory Technology Driver (MTD).
The SATA NANDrive is pre-programmed with a 10-
Byte unique serial ID and has the option of
programming an additional 10-Byte serial ID for even
greater system security.
The SATA NANDrive’s advanced NAND
management technology enhances data reliability
and security, improves endurance and accurately
estimates the remaining lifespan of the NAND flash
devices. This innovative technology combines robust
NAND controller hardware error correction
capabilities with advanced wear-leveling algorithms
and bad block management to significantly extend
the life of the product.
The SATA NANDrive devices are offered in a 145-ball
BGA, 1 mm ball pitch package. Please refer to Figure
3-1 for the pin assignments.

Commercial Grade SATA NANDrive™
1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Each SATA NANDrive contains an integrated SATA NAND flash memory controller and up to eight discrete
NAND flash die in a BGA package. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the SATA NANDrive block diagram.
1.1 Optimized SATA NANDrive
The heart of the SATA NANDrive is the SATA NAND
flash memory controller which translates standard
SATA signals into flash media data and control
signals. The following components contribute to the
SATA NANDrive’s operation.
1.1.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU)
The MCU translates SATA commands into data and
control signals required for flash media operation.
1.1.2 Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA)
The SATA NANDrive uses internal DMA allowing
instant data transfer from/to buffer to/from flash media.
This implementation eliminates microcontroller
overhead associated with the traditional, firmware-
based approach, thereby increasing the data transfer
rate.
1.1.3 Power Management Unit (PMU)
The PMU controls the power consumption of the
SATA NANDrive. The PMU dramatically reduces the
power consumption of the SATA NANDrive by putting
the part of the circuitry that is not in operation into
sleep mode.
3)
The Flash File System handles inadvertent power
interrupts and has auto-recovery capability to ensure
SATA NANDrive firmware integrity. For regular power
management, the Host must send an
IDLE_IMMEDIATE command and wait for command
ready before powering down the SATA NANDrive.
3)
For management of the Sleep Mode, please refer to
“SATA NANDrive Application Design Guide.”
1.1.4 Embedded Flash File System
The embedded flash file system is an integral part of
the SATA NANDrive. It contains MCU firmware that
performs the following tasks:
1. Translates host side signals into flash media
writes and reads
2. Provides flash media wear leveling to spread the
flash writes across all memory address space to
increase the longevity of flash media
3. Keeps track of data file
structures
4. Manages system security for the selected
protection zones
1.1.5 Error Correction Code (ECC)
High performance is achieved through optimized
hardware error detection and correction.
1.1.6 Serial Communication Interface (SCI)
The Serial Communication Interface (SCI) is designed
for manufacturing error reporting. During the design
process, always provide access to the SCI port in the
PCB design to aid in design validation.
1.1.7 Multi-tasking Interface
The multi-tasking interface enables fast, sustained
write performance by allowing concurrent Read,
Program and Erase operations to multiple flash media
and NAND flash die.
1.2 NAND Flash
The SATA NANDrive family utilizes standard NAND
flash for data storage. Because the high temperature
in a surface-mount soldering reflow process can alter
the content on NAND flash, do not program the SATA
NANDrive before the reflow process.
1.3 Advanced NAND Management
Advanced NAND management technology balances
the wear on erased blocks with wear-leveling
algorithms. When the Host updates data, higher
priority is given to the less frequently written erase
blocks, thereby evenly distributing host writes within
the SATA NANDrive.
Advanced NAND management technology enhances
SATA NANDrive’s security with password protection
and four independent protection zones that can be set
to Read-only or Hidden.
