Ic storage specialist, dg series is an ide storage device using solid-state flash memory technology, it's rugged, reliable and consumes little power, it's an ideal substitute for a hard disk drive, and is a cost-effective solution for applications requiri
PQI’s DiskOnModule DG series based on NAND type flash memory controller technology. This product complies with 44 PIN IDE (ATA) standard interface and is suitable for data storage memory medium for portable system. By using DiskOnModule it is possible to operate good performance for the portable system which have IDE interface slots.
PQI' s DiskOnModule is a storage device based on flash memory technology, which emulates an ordinary magnetic hard disk. The DiskOnModule series products provide an all in one module solution for solid-state flash disk. The DiskOnModule is suitable for use in portable and embedded systems which have limited space and power consumption.
Installation Guide BEFORE YOU BEGIN To protect your DOM from static discharge by making sure you are well grounded before touching the DOM. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist strap throughout the installation process. STEP 1 1. Make sure your computer is turned off before you open the case. 2.

Option five allows you to select the drive you want to partition. Make sure that your new drive is selected. 4.Select "Create DOS partition or logical DOS drive" by pressing 1. Then press ENTER. 5.Select "Create primary DOS partition" by pressing 1 again. Then press ENTER. Create your first drive partition.

In order to gain the best management for flash memory, PQI DiskOnModule supports an efficient and swift algorithm. Due to the life of flash memory is limited, PQI try to increase the life of our flash product through the following arrangement. There are some blocks are reserved in flash memory and these blocks would not be used in normal operation.

Interface Signal Assignments And Descriptions Signal summary The physical interface consists of receivers and drivers communicating through a set of conductors using an asynchronous interface protocol. Table 2 defines the signal names. Table 2 - Interface signal name assignments Description Host Acronym Cable select...
Signal Descriptions CS0- (CHIP SELECT 0) This is the chip select signal from the host used to select the Command Block registers. CS1 – (CHIP SELECT 1) This is the chip select signal from the host used to select the Control Block registers. DA2, DA1, AND DA0 (DEVICE ADDRESS) This is the 3-bit binary coded address asserted by the host to access a register or data port in the device.

INTRQ (Device interrupt) This signal is used to interrupt the host system. INTRQ is asserted only when the device has a pending interrupt, the device is selected, and the host has cleared the nIEN bit in the Device Control register. If the nIEN bit is equal to one, or the device is not selected, this output is in a h i g h im pe d a n c e s t at e , r e g a r d l e s s o f t he p r e s e n c e or a bs en c e of p e n d i n g interrupt.
Interface Register Definitions And Descriptions Device addressing considerations In traditional controller operation, only the selected device receives commands from the host following selection. In this standard, the register contents go to both devices (and their embedded controllers.) The host discriminates between the two by using the DEV bit in the Device/Head register.

[Duplicate Data, Error and Feature register] During word access, the address space occupied by the Data Register interferes with the space occupied by the Error register and Feature register, and reference cannot be made to these registers. Therefore, the PC Card ATA Standard provides an area where the copy of each register does not duplicate in the contiguous I/O mode and memory map mode.
