1.1. Supported Standards Cactus Technologies -700 Series SATA SSD is fully electrically compatible with the following specification: • •
ATA 7 Specification published by ANSI: X3.221 AT Attachment Interface for Disk Drives Serial ATA 2.6 Specification published by the Serial ATA International Organization
1.2. Product Features Cactus Technologies -700 Series Industrial SATA SSD contains a high level, intelligent controller. This intelligent controller provides many capabilities including the following: • • • • •
Standard ATA register and command set (same as found on most magnetic disk drives). Manages details of erasing and programming flash memory independent of the host system Sophisticated defect managing capabilities (similar to magnetic disk drives). Sophisticated system for error recovery using powerful error correction code (ECC). Intelligent power management for low power operation.
1.2.1.
Host and Technology Independence
Cactus Technologies -700 Series Industrial SATA SSD appears as a standard SATA disk drive to the host system. The drive utilizes a 512-byte sector which is the same as that in an IDE magnetic disk drive. To write or read a sector (or multiple sectors), the host computer software simply issues an ATA Read or Write command to the drive as per the SATA protocol. The host software then waits for the command to complete. The host system does not get involved in the details of how the flash memory is erased, programmed or read as this is all managed by the built-in controller in the drive. Also, with the intelligent on-board controller, the host system software will not require changing as new flash memory evolves. Thus, systems that support the Cactus Technologies -700 Series Industrial SATA SSD products today will continue to work with future Cactus Technologies -700 Series Industrial SATA SSDs built with new flash technology without having to update or change host software.
1.2.2.
Defect and Error Management
Cactus Technologies -700 Series Industrial SATA SSD contains a sophisticated defect and error management system similar to those found in magnetic disk drives. The defect management is completely transparent to the host and does not consume any user data space. The soft error rate for Cactus Technologies -700 Series Industrial SATA SSDs is much lower than that of magnetic disk drives. In the extremely rare case where a read error does occur, the drive has sophisticated ECC to recover the data. These defect and error management systems, coupled with the solid-state construction, give Cactus Technologies -700 Series Industrial SATA SSDs unparalleled reliability.

3.3.3.
Power Cycle Requirement
Cactus -700 Series SATA SSD products has internal SuperCap power backup to protect internal data integrity in the event of a sudden power loss. As a result, when power to the drive is removed, the drive stays powered up internally for up to 10s. Therefore, if the host system intends to power cycle the drive to reset it, the power must be removed for at least 10s before being re-applied.
3.3.4.
AC Characteristics
Cactus -700 Series SATA SSD products conforms to all AC timing requirements as specified in the Serial ATA specifications. Please refer to that document for details of AC timing for all operation modes of the device.
4.ATA Drive Register Set Definition and Protocol The communication to or from the SATA SSD is done using FIS. Legacy ATA protocol is supported by using the legacy mode defined in the SATA specifications. In this mode, the FIS has defined fields which provide all the necessary ATA task file registers for control and status information. The Serial ATA interface does not support Primary/Secondary or Master/Slave configurations. Each SATA channel supports only one SATA device, with the register selection as defined by the ATA standard.
4.1. ATA Task File Definitions The following sections describes the usage of the ATA task file registers. Note that the Alternate Status Register of legacy ATA is not defined for SATA drives.
4.1.1.
Data Register
The Data Register is a 16-bit register, and it is used to transfer data blocks between the SSD data buffer and the Host.
4.1.2.

Bit 7 (BUSY)
Bit 6 (RDY)
Bit 5 (DWF) Bit 4 (DSC) Bit 3 (DRQ) Bit 2 (CORR) Bit 1 (IDX) Bit 0 (ERR)
The busy bit is set when the device has access to the command buffer and registers and the host is locked out from accessing the command register and buffer. No other bits in this register are valid when this bit is set to a 1. RDY indicates whether the device is capable of performing operations requested by the host. This bit is cleared at power up and remains cleared until the device is ready to accept a command. This bit, if set, indicates a write fault has occurred. This bit is set when the device is ready. The Data Request is set when the device requires that information be transferred either to or from the host through the Data register. This bit is set when a Correctable data error has been encountered and the data has been corrected. This condition does not terminate a multi-sector read operation. This bit is always set to 0. This bit is set when the previous command has ended in some type of error. The bits in the Error register contain additional information describing the error.

This bit is used in 48-bit addressing mode. When cleared, the host can read the most recently written values of the Sector Count,Drive/Head and LBA registers. When set, the host will read the previous written values of these registers. A write to any Command block register will clear this bit. This bit is an X (Do not care). This bit is an X (Do not care). This bit is an X (Do not care). This bit is ignored by the drive. (SW Rst) This bit is set to 1 in order to force the drive to perform an AT Disk controller Soft Reset operation. The drive remains in Reset until this bit is reset to '0'. (-IEn) The Interrupt Enable bit enables interrupts when the bit is 0. When the bit is 1, interrupts from the drive are disabled. This bit is set to 0 at power on and Reset. This bit is ignored by the drive.
4.1.11. Drive Address Register This register is provided for compatibility with the AT disk drive interface. It is recommended that this register not be mapped into the host's I/O space because of potential conflicts on Bit 7. The bits are defined as follows:

This bit is unknown. Implementation Note: Conflicts may occur on the host data bus when this bit is provided by a Floppy Disk Controller operating at the same addresses as the SSD. Following are some possible solutions to this problem: 1. Locate the SSD at a non-conflicting address (i.e., Secondary address (377) when a Floppy Disk Controller is located at the Primary addresses). 2. Do not install a Floppy and a SSD in the system at the same time. 3. Implement a socket adapter that can be programmed to (conditionally) tri-state D7 of I/0 address 3F7/377 when a SSD product is installed and conversely to tri-state D6-D0 of I/O address 3F7/377 when a floppy controller is installed. 4. Do not use the SSD’s Drive Address register. This may be accomplished by either a) If possible, program the host adapter to enable only I/O addresses 1F0-1F7, 3F6 (or 170177, 176) to the SSD or b) if provided use an additional Primary/Secondary configuration in the SSD that does not respond to accesses to I/O locations 3F7 and 377. With either of these implementations, the host software must not attempt to use information in the Drive Address Register. (-WTG) This bit is 0 when a write operation is in progress, otherwise, it is 1. (-HS3) This bit is the negation of bit 3 in the Drive/Head register. (-HS2) This bit is the negation of bit 2 in the Drive/Head register. (-HS1) This bit is the negation of bit 1 in the Drive/Head register. (-HS0) This bit is the negation of bit 0 in the Drive/Head register. (-nDS1) This bit is 0 when drive 1 is active and selected. (-nDS0) This bit is 0 when the drive 0 is active and selected.

This command returns the reliability status of the device to the host.
5.3. CTPurge™ Cactus Technologies 700 series SATA SSDs implements a feature known as CTPurge™ which is a Security Erase operations that conforms to a variety of Security Erasure standards. Depending on the mode selected, the user can choose to do a quick erase of the drive or a thorough erase that includes multiple erase/overwrite passes. Note that CTPurge™ erases all contents on the drive, including spare blocks, re-assigned blocks and firmware blocks. After a CTPurge™ operation, the drive is no longer functional. If the user wants to reuse the drive, it must be returned to the factory to be re-initialized. The drive's internal firmware keeps track of the state of the erasure process. If power is interrupted while a CTPurge™ process is in progess, upon the next powerup, the drive will resume the CTPurge™ process where it left off and continue until the process is completed.
5.3.1.

The coding is as follows: 00 1 sequence 01 2 sequences 10 3 sequences 11 reserved bit[5:4] These two bits determine the type of operation to be performed for sequence 3. The coding is as follows: 00 erase only 01 erase and overwrite with random data 10 erase and overwrite with character defined in parameter 1 11 erase and overwrite with character defined in parameter 2 bit[3:2] These two bits determine the type of operation to be performed for sequence 2. The coding is the same as for sequence 3. bit[1:0] These two bits determine the type of operation to be performed for sequence 1. The coding is the same as for sequence 3. For sequence 1, an optional 'count' can be specified. If count=0, the sequence is performed only once. For non-zero counts, the sequence is repeated for count+1 times. By default, if none of the optional parameters are specified, the firmware will perform an erase only operation when this command is issued.

Status Reporting
When CTPurge™ is completed, the drive will return ready status but will no longer be able to process any new ATA commands as all internal firmware has been erased.
5.3.4.
Time and Power Requirements
The time required to perform a CTPurge™ operation depends on the capacity of the drive and the type of purge operation that is being performed. The host should ensure that power to the card/drive is maintained for the entire duration during the purge process. The following table lists some typical numbers that can be expected. Capacity

5.4. CTWPROT™ CTWPROT enables write protect function on the entire Cactus drive. This feature is activated by means of a jumper on the drive chassis. The write protect function can be toggled on/off by the user during use in the field. When the write protect function is activated, all subsequent Write commands that attempt to store data to the flash memory will be aborted and an Error status will be returned to the host. As there is no predefined way of handling write aborts in the ATA standard, the host will need to have a special driver/handler to properly handle such situations. The Cactus drive supports the ATA

Cactus Techologies, Limited Request Sense command (03H). This command is now obsolete but was used in earlier ATA standards for the drive to report extended error codes. If the host issues this command immediately following a write abort, the command will complete and the Cactus drive will return an extended error code of 27H in the Error register to indicate to the host that there is a write protect violation. This then allows the host application to display an appropriate error message to the user instead of just hanging the system on a write abort situation.
