03 Interface Description The following sections provide detailed information on the Cactus Technologies 900 Series Industrial SATA SSD interface. 3.1. SSD Pin Assignments and Pin Type Cactus Technologies 900 Series SATA SSD uses industry standard 7+12 connector. The signal/pin assignments are listed in Table 3-5. Table 3-5.
3.2. Signal Description Table 3-6 describes the I/O signals. Signals whose source is the host are designated as inputs while signals that the SATA SSD sources are outputs. The SATA SSD signal levels conform to those specified in the Serial ATA 2.6 Specification. Table 3-6. Signal Description Signal Name Dir. Description RXN AI Differential receive negative RXP AI Differential receive positive TXN AO Differential transmit negative TXP AO Differential transmit positive 3.3V 3.
3.3. Electrical Specification The following table defines all D.C. Characteristics for the SSD Series. Unless otherwise stated, conditions are: Vcc = 5V ± 10% Ta = -45°C to 90°C 3.3.1. Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Symbol MIN MAX Units Storage Temperature Ts -65 +150 °C Operating Temperature TA -45 +90 °C Vcc with respect to GND Vcc -0.3 6.5 V Symbol MIN MAX Units Vin -0.5 Vcc + 0.5 V Vout -0.3 Vcc + 0.
3.3.3. AC Characteristics Cactus Technologies 900 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. Cactus Technologies® 900S Series Industrial Grade 2.5" SATA SSD & Slim SATA Product Manual v2.
04 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.
4.1.4. Sector Count Register This register contains the number of sectors of data requested to be transferred on a read or write operation between the host and the SSD. If the value in this register is zero, a count of 256 sectors is specified. If the command was successful, this register is zero at command completion. If not successfully completed, the register contains the number of sectors that need to be transferred in order to complete the request. 4.1.5.
4.1.9. Status Registers These registers return the status when read by the host. Reading the Status register does clear a pending interrupt while reading the Auxiliary Status register does not. The meaning of the status bits are described as follows: D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 BUSY RDY DWF DSC DRQ CORR 0 ERR Bit 7 (BUSY) 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.
Bit 7 This bit is an X (Do not care). Bit 6 This bit is an X (Do not care). Bit 5 This bit is an X (Do not care). Bit 4 This bit is an X (Do not care). Bit 3 This bit is ignored by the drive. Bit 2 (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'. Bit 1 (-IEn) The Interrupt Enable bit enables interrupts when the bit is 0.
05 ATA Command Description This section defines the ATA command set supported by the Cactus Technologies 900 Series SATA SSDs. 5.1. ATA Command Set Table 5-7 summarizes the supported ATA command set. Table 5-10.

5.1.1. Identify Drive-ECH The Identify Drive command enables the host to receive parameter information from the drive. This command has the same protocol as the Read Sector(s) command. The parameter words in the buffer have the arrangement and meanings defined in Table 5-8. All reserved bits or words are zero. Table 5-8 is the definition for each field in the Identify Drive Information. Table 5-8.

06 S.M.A.R.T. Support Cactus Technologies 900 Series SATA SSDs support S.M.A.R.T. Status and attribute reporting functions as determined by the value of the Feature Register. The S.M.A.R.T.
6.2. S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations Disables the SMART function. Upon receiving the command, the drive disables all SMART operations. This setting is maintained when the power is turned off and then back on. Once this command has been received, all SMART commands other than SMART ENABLE OPERATIONS are aborted with the Aborted Command error. This command disables all SMART capabilities including any and all timer and event count functions related exclusively to this feature.
