are associated with the LUNs
Hardware-controlled data flow architecture for all self-
mapped media
Pipelined hardware support for access to non-self-
mapped media
Product name with “i” denotes the version that supports
the industrial temperature range of -40ºC to 85ºC
Hardware Features
Sin gle Chip Flash Media Controller with non-multiplexed

Chapter 5 Pin Descriptions
This section provides a detailed description of each signal. The signals are arranged in functional
groups according to their associated interface.
The “n” symbol in the signal name indicates that the active, or asserted, state occurs when the signal
is at a low voltage level. When “n” is not present before the signal name, the signal is asserted at the
high voltage level.
The terms assertion and negation are used exclusively. This is done to avoid confusion when worki ng
with a mixture of “active low” and “active high” signals. The term assert, or assertion, indi cates that a
signal is active, independent of whether that level is represented by a high or low voltage. The term
negate, or negation, indicates that a signal is ina ctive.
