TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD Reliability Wear-Leveling algorithm The controller supports static/dynamic wear leveling. When the host writes data, the controller will find and use the block with the lowest erase count among the free blocks. This is known as dynamic wear leveling. When the free blocks' erase count is higher than a threshold value plus data blocks', it will activate the static wear leveling, replacing the not so frequently used user blocks with the high erase count free blocks.
TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD mSATA Interface Out of bank signaling There shall be three Out Of Band (OOB) signals used/detected by the Phy: COMRESET, COMINIT, and COMWAKE. COMINIT, COMRESET and COMWAKE OOB signaling shall be achieved by transmission of either a burst of four Gen1 ALIGNP primitives or a burst composed of four Gen1 Dwords with each Dword composed of four D24.3 characters, each burst having a duration of 160 UIOOB.
TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD COMRESET COMRESET always originates from the host controller, and forces a hardware reset in the device. It is indicated that transmitting bursts of data separated by an idle bus condition. The OOB COMRESET signal shall consist of no less than six data bursts, including inter-burst temporal spacing.
TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD Description: 1. Host/device is powered and operating normally with some form of active communication. 2. Some condition in the host causes the host to issue COMRESET 3. Host releases COMRESET. Once the condition causing the COMRESET is released, the host releases the COMRESET signal and puts the bus in a quiescent condition. 4. Device issues COMINIT – When the device detects the release of COMRESET, it responds with a COMINIT.
TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD COMINIT COMINIT always originates from the drive and requests a communication initialization. It is electrically identical to the COMRESET signal except that it originates from the device and is sent to the host. The device uses it to request a reset from the host in accordance to the sequence shown in Figure 6, below. Figure 6: cominit sequence Description: 1. Host/device are powered and operating normally with some form of active communication. 2.
TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD times.) This step is repeated for as many slower speeds as are supported. Once the lowest speed has been reached without response from the host, the device enters an error state. 5. Host locks – after detecting the COMWAKE, the host starts transmitting D10.2 characters at its lowest supported rate. Meanwhile, the host receiver locks to the ALIGN sequence and, when ready, returns the ALIGN sequence to the device at the same speed as received.
TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD Description: 1. Host/device power-off - Host and device power-off. 2. Power is applied - Host side signal conditioning pulls TX and RX pairs to neutral state (common mode voltage). 3. Host issues COMRESET 4. Host releases COMRESET. Once the power-on reset is released, the host releases the COMRESET signal and puts the bus in a quiescent condition. 5. Device issues COMINIT – When the device detects the release of COMRESET, it responds with a COMINIT.

TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD ATA Command Specifications FLUSH CACHE (E7h) The host uses this command to request the device to flush the write cache. If there is data in the write cache, that data shall be written to the media. The BSY bit shall remain set to one until all data has been successfully written or an error occurs. IDENTIFY DEVICE (ECh) This commands read out 512Bytes of drive parameter information.

WRITE SECTOR(S) (30h) Write data to a specified number of sectors (1 to 256, as specified with the Sector Count register) from the specified address. Specify “00h” to write 256 sectors. NOP (00h) The device shall respond with command aborted. For devices implementing the Overlapped feature set, subcommand code 00h in the Features register shall abort any outstanding queue.
TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD Security Mode Feature Set SECURITY SET PASSWORD (F1h) This command set user password or master password. The host outputs sector data with PIO data-out protocol to indicate the information defined in the following table.
TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD This command shall be issued immediately before the Security Erase Unit command to enable erasing and unlocking. This command prevents accidental loss of data on the drive. SECURITY ERASE UNIT (F4h) The host uses this command to transfer 512 bytes of data, as shown in the following table, to the drive. The transferred data contains a user or master password, which the drive compares with the saved password.
TS2G~16GMSA500 TS16G~64GMSA300 mSATA SSD This command disables all SMART capabilities including any and all timer and event count functions related exclusively to this feature. After command acceptance, this controller will disable all SMART operations. SMART data in no longer be monitored or saved. The state of SMART is preserved across power cycles.
