Embedded USB Mass Storage Drive (e230)
General Description
General Description
Micron embedded universal serial bus (USB) mass storage drives provide 2GB, 4GB,
8GB, or 16GB of USB 2.0-compatible memory storage in a small form factor. The em-
bedded USB drive is an ideal solution for applications that require low cost and high re-
liability. Typical applications include PC caching and boot drives for embedded com-
puting, server, and networking systems.
High performance, reliability, and easy implementation make Micron embedded USBs
an ideal storage solution. To consistently deliver the best possible performance, the em-
bedded USB uses only SLC NAND Flash, and all densities use two x8 NAND channels to
the controller. In addition to being fast, SLC NAND Flash offers solid reliability, coupled
with ECC and wear leveling. The USB system interface is widely available in many sys-
tem designs and is easy to implement, enabling rapid time to market.
The embedded USB consists of two TSOP-packaged Micron NAND Flash components,
a USB controller, and a 10-pin USB connector on a PCB. Different densities are available
depending on the number of die in each package and the density of each NAND Flash
die. The drive operates at 5V ±5% or 3.3V ±5%. It uses industry-standard 10-pin connec-
tors and supports USB Specification, Revision 2.0. It is also backward compatible with
Revision 1.1 and can be used with operating systems that support USB Mass Storage
Class Specification, Revision 1.0.

Error Management
Error Management
The embedded USB incorporates advanced technology for defect and error manage-
ment. It uses various combinations of hardware-based error correction algorithms and
firmware-based wear-leveling algorithms.
Over the life of the drive, uncorrectable errors may occur. An uncorrectable error is de-
fined as data that is reported as successfully programmed to the drive, but when it is
read out of the drive, the data differs from what was programmed. See the Uncorrecta-
ble Bit Error Rate Table.
The mean time between failures (MTBF) can be predicted based on component reliabil-
ity data obtained by following the methods referenced in the Telecordia SR-332 reliabili-
ty prediction procedures for electronic equipment.

Note:

Wear-Leveling Algorithm
The controller adds a built-in RAM register unit to record the erase count of each block.
Accordingly, the controller can decide the frequency of wear leveling and choose the
proper blocks to swap. This technique successfully averages the erase count of the data
blocks. Also, an enhanced wear leveling algorithm now includes most static blocks in
the recycling pool. Increasing the number of blocks makes the wear-leveling algorithm
more robust, and in turn extends product life.
