4. Product Description
The Swissbit® F-50 Solid State Drive (SSD) leverages the CFast 2.0 compatible, industry-standard form factor
and connectivity. Combined with a SATA Gen3 controller and Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash technology, the
F-50 realizes a robust non-volatile storage solution for today’s embedded storage applications. A functional
block diagram of the F-50 SSD is provided below in Figure 1.

Figure 1: F-50 CFast Functional Block Diagram

The F-50 SSD incorporates two existing industry standards into a single product: the CompactFlash™ (CF) card
form factor and the Serial ATA (SATA) interface commonly used with hard disk drives (HDDs) and SSDs. The
interface consists of a female 7-pin SATA data connector and a female 17-pin power connector. Because
standard SATA hard drives use male connectors, an adaptor is required to replace drives with CFast cards.
CFast cards can be used to replace HDDs, SSDs, and Compact Flash™ cards in applications requiring smaller
form factors, high endurance, and the ability to withstand shock, vibration, extreme temperatures (-40°C to
85°C), high altitude, and rough environmental conditions. The Swissbit CFast™ cards provide rugged storage
for embedded and industrial systems where data and system reliability, power fail protection, and flexibility
are important design considerations.

The on-board SATA Gen3 controller manages the interface between the host and the non-volatile NAND flash
memory array. The controller supports SATA Gen3 (6 Gbit/s) interface speeds and is fully backward compatible
with SATA Gen2 (3 Gbit/s) and SATA Gen1 (1.5 Gbit/s) to enable the broadest possible range of platform
compatibility. The controller utilizes an ARC 700 processing core, providing an optimum balance between
read/write performance, Data Care Management, and power fail protection.

The F-50 achieves high sequential and random read/write performance (see Table 3: Read/Write
Performance). In addition, the F-50 series feature Swissbit’s proven power fail safety and support for the ATA
security feature set, NCQ, TRIM, advanced wear leveling and bad block management, and in-field firmware
updates.

An on-controller BCH Error Correction Code (ECC) engine provides the F-50 hardware ECC, which is capable of
correcting up to 66 bits per 1 KByte page. This, combined with Swissbit’s Data Care Management firmware,
provides active data management strategies to ensure data integrity and extract the maximum possible
endurance and reliability from the NAND flash array. These strategies include, but are not limited to, Global
Wear Leveling, Read Refresh and Dynamic Block Remapping.

The risk of data loss as a result of an unexpected power fail event is mitigated using a robust sequence of
voltage regulators and detectors designed to ensure a graceful shutdown of the controller and NAND flash
array. A combination of both hardware and firmware power fail features prevent the possibility of resident
data being corrupted during an unexpected power failure.

4.5 Mechanical Specifications

The F-50 SSD consists of a flash controller and NAND flash memory devices. The controller interfaces with a
host system allowing data to be written to and read from the flash memory array. The SSD has a female 7-pin
SATA data connector and a female 17-pin power connector. Because standard SATA hard drives use male
connectors, an adaptor is required to replace drives with CFast cards. Physical dimensions are detailed in
Table 9 below. Figure 3 on page 12 illustrates the F-50 dimensions and connector location.

NOTE: Because NAND flash has a limited life, replace the drive once it has reached the number of program/erase
(P/E) cycles rated for the device as data loss can occur at any time beyond this point. The current and rated
erase counts for the device are reported in the S.M.A.R.T. data. Swissbit also offers lifetime monitoring
software and a software development kit (SDK) to monitor drive health.

4.7 Drive Geometry Specification

The F-50 drive geometry is set to report industry standard LBA settings per the IDEMA standard (LBA1-03). The
values for each capacity are shown below in Table 12.

Client and Enterprise workloads follow the JEDEC JESD219 standard. Enterprise workload values are measured based on 168 hours of
runtime. 1 TByte = 1012 bytes
8
Because the JEDEC master trace file for the Client workload is designed for capacities ≥ 60 GBytes, the TBW and DWPD values for the
capacities below 60 GBytes are estimates.
9
DWPD values are based on a service life of 3 years
10
1 GByte = 109 bytes

7. ATA Commands
This section provides information on the ATA commands supported by the SSD. The commands are issued to
the ATA by loading the required registers in the command block with the supplied parameter, and then writing
the command code to the register. For backward compatibility, some commands are implemented as a "no
operation". See Table 14 for a list of ATA commands the device supports. For details about setting up the
command registers, see the latest ATA Specification.
