capacity.
The Cactus Technologies® CFast product uses high quality SLC NAND flash memory from
well known vendors, such as Samsung Corporation. In addition, it include an on-drive
intelligent controller that manages interface protocols, data storage and retrieval as well as
ECC, defect handling and diagnostics, power management, and clock control. The
controller’s firmware is upgradeable, thus allowing feature enhancements and firmware
updates while keeping the BOM stable.

1.1. Supported Standards
Cactus Technologies® CFast card is fully compatible with the following specification:
• ATA 7 Specification published by ANSI: X3.221 AT Attachment Interface for Disk
Drives
• Serial ATA 2.6 Specification published by the Serial ATA International Organization
• CFast 1.1 Specification published by CFA
1.2. Product Features
Cactus Technologies® Industrial CFast card contains a high level, intelligent controller. This
intelligent controller provides many capabilities including the following:
• Standard ATA register and command set (same as found on most magnetic disk
drives).
• Manages details of erasing and programming flash memory independent of the host
system
• Sophisticated defect managing capabilities (similar to magnetic disk drives).
• Sophisticated system for error recovery using powerful error correction code (ECC).
• Intelligent power management for low power operation.
1.2.1. Host and Technology Independence
Cactus Technologies® Industrial CFast card appears as a standard SATA disk drive to the
host system. The drive utilizes a 512-byte sector which is the same as that in an IDE
magnetic disk drive. To write or read a sector (or multiple sectors), the host computer
software simply issues an ATA Read or Write command to the drive as per the SATA
protocol. The host software then waits for the command to complete. The host system does
not get involved in the details of how the flash memory is erased, programmed or read as
this is all managed by the built-in controller in the drive. Also, with the intelligent on-board
controller, the host system software will not require changing as new flash memory evolves.
Thus, systems that support the Cactus Technologies® Industrial CFast products today will
continue to work with future Cactus Technologies® Industrial CFast cards built with new flash
technology without having to update or change host software.
1.2.2. Defect and Error Management
Cactus Technologies® Industrial CFast card contains a sophisticated defect and error
management system similar to those found in magnetic disk drives. The defect
management is completely transparent to the host and does not consume any user data
space.
The soft error rate for Cactus Technologies® Industrial CFast card is much lower than that of
magnetic disk drives. In the extremely rare case where a read error does occur, the drive
has sophisticated ECC to recover the data.

Cactus Technologies, Limited
These defect and error management systems, coupled with the solid-state construction, give
Cactus Technologies® Industrial CFast cards unparalleled reliability.

the CFA specifications. Please refer to that document for details of AC timing for all
operation modes of the device.
4.ATA Drive Register Set Definition and
Protocol
The communication to or from the CFast card is done using FIS. Legacy ATA protocol is
supported by using the legacy mode defined in the SATA specifications. In this mode, the
FIS has defined fields which provide all the necessary ATA task file registers for control and
status information. The Serial ATA interface does not support Primary/Secondary or
Master/Slave configurations. Each SATA channel supports only one SATA device, with the
register selection as defined by the ATA standard.
4.1. ATA Task File Definitions
The following sections describes the usage of the ATA task file registers. Note that the
Alternate Status Register of legacy ATA is not defined for SATA drives.
4.1.1. Data Register
The Data Register is a 16-bit register, and it is used to transfer data blocks between the SSD
data buffer and the Host.
4.1.2. Error Register
This register contains additional information about the source of an error when an error is
indicated in bit 0 of the Status register. The bits are defined as follows:
D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
BBK UNC 0 IDNF 0 ABRT 0 AMNF
Bit 7 (BBK) This bit is set when a Bad Block is detected.
Bit 6 (UNC) This bit is set when an Uncorrectable Error is encountered.
Cactus Technologies Limited Industrial Grade CFast Card Product Manual v1.1 13
Page 14
Cactus Technologies, Limited
Bit 5 This bit is 0.
Bit 4 (IDNF) The requested sector ID is in error or cannot be found.
Bit 3 This bit is 0.
Bit 2 (Abort) This bit is set if the command has been aborted because of a status condition: (Not
Ready, Write Fault, etc.) or when an invalid command has been issued.
Bit 1 This bit is 0.
Bit 0 (AMNF) This bit is set in case of a general error.
4.1.3. Feature Register
This register provides information regarding features of the SSD that the host can utilize.
4.1.4. Sector Count Register
This register contains the number of sectors of data requested to be transferred on a read or
write operation between the host and the SSD. If the value in this register is zero, a count of
256 sectors is specified. If the command was successful, this register is zero at command
completion. If not successfully completed, the register contains the number of sectors that
need to be transferred in order to complete the request.
4.1.5. Sector Number (LBA 7-0) Register
This register contains the starting sector number or bits 7-0 of the Logical Block Address
(LBA) for any SSD data access for the subsequent command.
4.1.6. Cylinder Low (LBA 15-8) Register
This register contains the low order 8 bits of the starting cylinder address or bits 15-8 of the
Logical Block Address.
4.1.7. Cylinder High (LBA 23-16) Register
This register contains the high order bits of the starting cylinder address or bits 23-16 of the
Logical Block Address.
4.1.8. Drive/Head (LBA 27-24) Register
The Drive/Head register is used to select the drive and head. It is also used to select LBA
addressing instead of cylinder/head/sector addressing. The bits are defined as follows:
D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
1 LBA 1 DRV HS3 HS2 HS1 HS0
Bit 7 This bit is set to 1.
Bit 6 LBA is a flag to select either Cylinder/Head/Sector (CHS) or Logical Block Address Mode (LBA).
When LBA=0, Cylinder/Head/Sector mode is selected. When LBA=1, Logical Block Address is
selected. In Logical Block Mode, the Logical Block Address is interpreted as follows:
LBA07-LBA00: Sector Number Register D7-D0.
LBA15-LBA08: Cylinder Low Register D7-D0.
Cactus Technologies Limited Industrial Grade CFast Card Product Manual v1.1 14
Page 15
Cactus Technologies, Limited
LBA23-LBA16: Cylinder High Register D7-D0.
LBA27-LBA24: Drive/Head Register bits HS3-HS0.
Bit 5 This bit is set to 1.
Bit 4 (DRV) DRV is the drive number. This should always be set to 0.
Bit 3 (HS3) When operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 3 of the head number. It
is Bit 27 in the Logical Block Address mode.
Bit 2 (HS2) When operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 2 of the head number. It
is Bit 26 in the Logical Block Address mode.
Bit 1 (HS1) When operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 1 of the head number. It
is Bit 25 in the Logical Block Address mode.
Bit 0 (HS0) When operating in the Cylinder, Head, Sector mode, this is bit 0 of the head number. It
is Bit 24 in the Logical Block Address mode.
4.1.9. Status Registers
These registers return the status when read by the host. Reading the Status register does
clear a pending interrupt while reading the Auxiliary Status register does not. The meaning
of the status bits are described as follows:
D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
BUSY RDY DWF DSC DRQ CORR 0 ERR
Bit 7 (BUSY) The busy bit is set when the device has access to the command buffer and registers
and the host is locked out from accessing the command register and buffer. No other
bits in this register are valid when this bit is set to a 1.
Bit 6 (RDY) RDY indicates whether the device is capable of performing operations requested by
the host. This bit is cleared at power up and remains cleared until the device is ready
to accept a command.
Bit 5 (DWF) This bit, if set, indicates a write fault has occurred.
Bit 4 (DSC) This bit is set when the device is ready.
Bit 3 (DRQ) The Data Request is set when the device requires that information be transferred
either to or from the host through the Data register.
Bit 2 (CORR) This bit is set when a Correctable data error has been encountered and the data has
been corrected. This condition does not terminate a multi-sector read operation.
Bit 1 (IDX) This bit is always set to 0.
Bit 0 (ERR) This bit is set when the previous command has ended in some type of error. The bits in
the Error register contain additional information describing the error.
4.1.10. Device Control Register
This register is used to control the drive interrupt request and to issue an ATA soft reset to
the drive. The bits are defined as follows:
D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
HOB X X X 1 SW Rst -IEn 0
Bit 7 This bit is used in 48-bit addressing mode. When cleared, the host can read the most recently
written values of the Sector Count,Drive/Head and LBA registers. When set, the host will read
the previous written values of these registers. A write to any Command block register will
clear this bit.
Cactus Technologies Limited Industrial Grade CFast Card Product Manual v1.1 15
Page 16
Cactus Technologies, Limited
Bit 6 This bit is an X (Do not care).
Bit 5 This bit is an X (Do not care).
Bit 4 This bit is an X (Do not care).
Bit 3 This bit is ignored by the drive.
Bit 2 (SW Rst)This bit is set to 1 in order to force the drive to perform an AT Disk controller Soft
Reset operation. The drive remains in Reset until this bit is reset to '0'.
Bit 1 (-IEn) The Interrupt Enable bit enables interrupts when the bit is 0. When the bit is 1,
interrupts from the drive are disabled. This bit is set to 0 at power on and Reset.
Bit 0 This bit is ignored by the drive.
4.1.11. Drive Address Register
This register is provided for compatibility with the AT disk drive interface. It is recommended
that this register not be mapped into the host's I/O space because of potential conflicts on
Bit 7. The bits are defined as follows:
D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
X -WTG -HS3 -HS2 -HS1 -HS0 -nDS1 -nDS0
Bit 7 This bit is unknown.
Implementation Note:
Conflicts may occur on the host data bus when this bit is provided by a Floppy Disk Controller
operating at the same addresses as the SSD. Following are some possible solutions to
this problem:
1. Locate the SSD at a non-conflicting address (i.e., Secondary address (377) when a Floppy
Disk Controller is located at the Primary addresses).
2. Do not install a Floppy and a SSD in the system at the same time.
3. Implement a socket adapter that can be programmed to (conditionally) tri-state D7 of I/0
address 3F7/377 when a SSD product is installed and conversely to tri-state D6-D0 of
I/O address 3F7/377 when a floppy controller is installed.
4. Do not use the SSD’s Drive Address register. This may be accomplished by either a) If
possible, program the host adapter to enable only I/O addresses 1F0-1F7, 3F6 (or 170177, 176) to the SSD or b) if provided use an additional Primary/Secondary
configuration in the SSD that does not respond to accesses to I/O locations 3F7 and
377. With either of these implementations, the host software must not attempt to use
information in the Drive Address Register.
Bit 6 (-WTG) This bit is 0 when a write operation is in progress, otherwise, it is 1.
Bit 5 (-HS3) This bit is the negation of bit 3 in the Drive/Head register.
Bit 4 (-HS2) This bit is the negation of bit 2 in the Drive/Head register.
Bit 3 (-HS1) This bit is the negation of bit 1 in the Drive/Head register.
Bit 2 (-HS0) This bit is the negation of bit 0 in the Drive/Head register.
Bit 1 (-nDS1) This bit is 0 when drive 1 is active and selected.
Bit 0 (-nDS0) This bit is 0 when the drive 0 is active and selected.
