PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SST’s ATA Flash Disk Controller is the heart of a high-per-
formance, flash media-based data storage system. The
ATA Flash Disk Controller recognizes the control, address,
and data signals on the ATA/IDE bus and translates them
into memory accesses to the standard NAND-type flash
media. The SST55LD019A/B/C device supports Single
Level Cell (SLC) flash media. This technology suits solid
state mass storage applications offering new, expanded
functionality while enabling smaller, lighter designs with
lower power consumption.
The ATA/IDE interface is widely used in such products as
portable and desktop computers, digital cameras, music
players, handheld data collection scanners, PDAs, handy
terminals, personal communicators, audio recorders, moni-
toring devices, and set-top boxes. SST’s ATA Flash Disk
Controller supports standard ATA/IDE protocol with up to
PIO Mode-4 and Multi-word DMA Mode-2 interface.

Utilizing SST’s proprietary SuperFlash memory technol-
ogy, the ATA Flash Disk Controller is factory pre-pro-
grammed with an embedded flash file system which, upon
initial Power-on, recognizes the attached flash media
devices, sets up a bad block table, executes all necessary
handshaking routines for flash media support, and, finally,
performs the low-level format. This process typically takes
about 3 sec + 0.5 sec/GByte of drive capacity, allowing a
2 GByte flash drive to be fully initialized in about 4 sec-
onds.
This technology enables a very fast, completely seamless
integration of flash drives into an embedded design. For
added manufacturing flexibility, system debug, re-initializa-
tion, and user customization can be accomplished either
through the ATA/IDE interface, for ATA Disk Module or
flash drive products, or through the Serial Communication
Interface (SCI), for fully embedded ATA Flash Disk Con-

troller designs.
The SST55LD019A/B/C high-performance ATA Flash
Disk Controller offers sustained read and write perfor-
mance up to 10.0 MB/sec. The SST55LD019A controller
is to be used when the random access performance needs
to be maximized. The SST55LD019B controller is to be
used when the sequential access performance needs to be
maximized. The SST55LD019C controller is to be used
when the flash drive capacity and sequential access perfor-
mance need to be maximized. The SST55LD019A/B/C
can directly support up to 8 flash media devices or,
through simple decoding logic, can support up to 64
flash media devices. Users can select either an internal
or external system clock option for optimal performance vs.
the supply current.
The SST55LD019A/B/C offers added security protection
for confidential information stored in the flash media. It
allows up to four protection zones which can be set by the
user to be Read-only or Hidden (Read-disabled). The ATA
Flash Disk Controller can access the data within the pro-
tected zones through a password-protected command.
The controller also provides a WP_PD# pin to protect criti-
cal information stored in the flash media from unauthorized
overwrites.
The ATA Flash Disk Controller comes pre-programmed
with a 10-byte unique serial ID. For even greater system
security, the user has the option of programming an addi-
tional 10 Bytes of ID space to create a unique, 20-byte ID.
The ATA Flash Disk Controller comes packaged in an
industry-standard, 100-lead TQFP package, an 84-ball
TFBGA package, or a 85-ball VFBGA package for easy
integration into an SMT manufacturing process.
