SATA-Disk Module 4
APSDMxxxxG5AN-PXXX
1. General Description
Apacer’s SATA-Disk Module 4 (SDM4) is a high-performance, embedded SSD DOM (Disk on Module)
designed to replace the conventional SATA storage devices. SDM4 can be fitted into a standard Serial
ATA connectors commonly found in desktops, IT-STB, industrial PC and thin client systems. In addition,
SDM4 provides an innovative way for design-in clients with compact host computing systems.
Apacer’s SDM4 is built in with an efficient microcontroller that drives the potential of NAND flash and
delivers optimal performance. With its compact form factor and SATA 3.0 Gbps interface, this product is
well suited for embedded flash storage applications offering customizable and expanded functionalities as
well as more cost-effective designs, better performance and increased reliability.
2. Functional Block
SDM4 includes the SATA and Flash Management controllers, and flash media, as well as the SATA
standard interface. Figure 2-1 shows the functional block diagram.
