RESET 30 I CARD RESET This is a reset. When this is set to 1, all the internal conditions
[ RESET ] [DRIVE RESET] including FCR are initialized. Note that, in IDE Mode, the
polarity is inverted and the initialization takes place when this
signal is 0.
In PC Card mode, it is in reset condition by detecting the edge

D15~D0 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, B DATA BUS This is a 16-bit wide (2-byte) data bus. The MSB is D15; the
[DD15~DD0] 47, 49, 53, 54, 56, [DRIVE DATA LSB is D0. Normally, this bus is in input state and it becomes
57, 59, 60, 62, 63 BUS] in output state only when the host reads data.
(With the Pull-down Resister)
A10~A0 15, 20, 22, 27, 29, I ADDRESS BUS This is an address bus. The MSB is A10; the LSB is A0. In
[DA2~DA0] 31, 32, 34, 39, 41, [DRIVE TC58NC344, the maximum address lines are 11 and the
45 ADDRESS BUS] number of decodes vary with the mode. A0 is invalid in
accessing words. In IDE Mode, only the lower 3 bits are used
and the upper 8 bits are open.
(The upper 8 bits have the Pull-down Resister)
REG 21 I ATTRIBUTE When this is set to 1, the I/O space can be accessed with
MEMORY OE and WE in Memory Mapped Mode. When REG is set
SELECT to 0, CIS and FCR can be accessed with OE and WE . The
I/O space can be accessed with IORD and IOWR in
Independent I/O, Primary and Secondary Modes. In IDE
Mode, this signal is open.
(With the Pull-up Resister)
CE1 48 I CARD ENABLE 1 In PC Card Mode, this must be set to 0 when the host
[ CS0 ] [DRIVE CHIP accesses to TC58NC344 via D7~D0. In IDE Mode, this is
SELECT 0] the selection signal for the Command Block Register.(With the
Pull-up Resister)
CE2 44 I CARD ENABLE 2 In PC Card Mode, this must be set to 0 when the host
[ CS1 ] [DRIVE CHIP accesses to TC58NC344 via D15~D8. The host can only
SELECT 1] access odd addresses via D15~D8 regardless of A0. In IDE
Mode, this is the selection signal for the Control Block
Register.
OE 43 I OUTPUT This pin is used to read the I/O space in CIS, FCR and
[ SELATA ] ENABLE Memory Mapped Modes. This pin must not be active in the
[SELECT ATA] write operation. It changes to PC Card ATA Mode in case this
pin is set to 1 and to IDE Mode in case this pin is set to 0
during the PONRST star-up. In using only in IDE Mode,
please connect this signal to VSS.

TC58NC344CF
WE 38 I WRITE ENABLE This pin is used to write into the I/O space in FCR and
Memory Mapped Modes. In IDE Mode, this signal is open.
IORD 42 I I/O READ This is used to read the I/O space in Independent I/O, Primary
[ DIOR ] [DRIVE I/O and Secondary Modes. This signal is invalid in any other
READ] modes.
IOWR 40 I I/O WRITE This is used to write into the I/O space in Independent I/O,
[ DIOW ] [DRIVE I/O Primary and Secondary Modes. This signal is invalid in any
WRITE] other modes.
IOIS16 5 O I/O IS 16 bits In Independent I/O Mode, In Primary and Secondary Modes, it
(WP) PORT outputs L when the data bus has the address which allows the
[ IOCS16 ] (WRITE 16-bit access. Normally, all the I/O registers are allowed of the
PROTECT) 16-bit access, however it outputs H only in case that 4-byte
[DRIVE 16-bit I/O] ECC is read out when the host reads continuously the data
register by using the Long Commands.
When the Memory Card Interface is used, this signal outputs
the input of WPIN pin with the logic unchanged in WP. In IDE
Mode, it normally outputs “Hi-Z”. It is an open-drain system
which outputs L only when the host accesses the data
register.
IREQ 37 O INTERRUPT This is an interrupt request when the I/O Card Interface is
(READY) REQUEST used and it outputs its signal in two ways. The setting can be
[INTRQ] (READY) changed by using the LevIREQ (D6) bit of the Configuration
[DRIVE Option Register in FCR. When this bit is 1, IREQ is in Level
INTERRUPT] Mode and when this bit is 0, it is in Pulse Mode. Right after the
reset, this bit is in Level Mode. When the Memory Card
Interface is used, this signal provides the RDY/BSY functions.
It outputs L when the BSY (D7) bit of the ATA Status Register
is 1 or by the PWRDWN bit of the Card Configuration and
Status Register in FCR. RDY/BSY is supplied in two ways.
These settings are changeable by using the BSYSEL signal.
1. It outputs L when the PWRDWN bit is set or reset, it returns
to H after the internal processing. However, it does not
output L since the internal processing is very short.
2. It outputs L when the PWRDWN bit is set. Note that in IDE
Mode, this signal becomes INTRQ and the polarity is
inverted so an interrupt occurs in H.
INPACK 23 O INPUT PORT It outputs L only when CE1 (or CE2 ) and IORD are 0 and
ACKNOWLEDGE the address on the address bus matches the I/O space. This
signal outputs “Hi-Z” when the Memory Card Interface is used.
In IDE Mode, this signal is open.

TC58NC344CF
STSCHG 14 B STATUS Basically, this is an output signal when a change occurs in the
CHANGED status of the interior of the controller (RDY/BSY status, Write
Protect status and the status of the battery voltage).
However, it always outputs H because a change does not
occur in the flash memory device which uses TC58NC344 or
SmartMedia Adapter Card.
[ PDIAG ] [PASSED This is asserted to inform Drive 0 that the self diagnosis of
DIAGNOSTICS] Drive 1 has been completed in IDE Mode. Drive 1 negates
this signal within 1 msec after the Power-on Reset, Software
Reset or Hardware Reset. Then, Drive 1 performs the self
diagnosis, prepares the status information and asserts this
signal within 30 sec. When the valid Executive Drive
Diagnostic Command is received, the Drive1 negates within
1msec to inform the Drive0 that the self diagnosis of Drive1 is
being performed. The Drive0 waits for the Drive1 to assert
for 5sec. The drive1 asserts this pin after clearing BSY, then
informs the Drive0 that the diagnosis has been completed and
the status information is prepared.
* TC58NC344 does not supported 2-Drive protocol, therefore,

in case of making 2 drive system, it is not guaranteed by TED.
LOGICH 16 B LOGIC HIGH This signal is an output which is fixed to H because its
( SPKR ) (AUDIO DIGITAL function is not supported.
WAVE FORM)
[ DASP (LED) ] DRIVE ACTIVE This is a signal which indicates the existence of Drive1 or the
active status of Drive in IDE mode. This signal must be
asserted by the Drive1 within 400 msec to indicate that the
Drive1 exists after the initialization during the power-on or
cancellation of the RESET signal. Drive0 waits for the the
Drive1 to assert this signal for 450 msec and if the Drive1
does not perform the assertion, the Drive0 asserts to indicate
that the drive is active. Drive1 is negated, in case of no
access for 31 sec or in case a first valid command is recieved.
After that, a drive in an active state performs an assertion. If
the DASP signal is not asserted in initializing after the reset (if
Drive1 does not exist), Drive0 clears the Drive1 Status
Register to “00h” after completing its self diagnosis.
* TC58NC344 does not supported 2-Drive protocol, therefore,

in case of making 2 drive system, it is not guaranteed by TED.
WAIT 28 O EXTEND BUS It always outputs H because TC58NC344 never asserts the
[IORDY] CYCLE WAIT in PC Card mode. In IDE mode, it goes into “Hi-z”
[I/O CHANNEL state because it is always possible to respond.
READY]
CSEL 33 I CABLE SELECT This pin is a signal in IDE mode and a selection pin for the
drive number. When the PONRST signal, the RESET
signal or the SRESET “D7” bit of the FCR Configuration
Option Register is released, Drive 0 is selected when the input
is 0, Drive 1 is selected when it is H or “OPEN”.

Flash Memory Interface
FD7~FD0 69~72, 77~80 B FLASH This is the bus for both the addresses and data to the Flash
DATA BUS Memory. The addresses and data (including commands) are
distinguished by using FALE and FCLE. When the Flash
Memory is not accessed or during the reset period, this bus
outputs L in Output state in order to avoid “Hi-Z”.
(With the Pull-down Resister)
FCE 86 O FLASH This is a Flash Memory Chip Enable (L). It outputs H during
CHIP ENABLE the reset period.
FCLE 87 O FLASH This is a Command Latch Enable to the Flash Memory chips.
COMMAND It outputs H when the commands are output to the FD bus.
LATCH ENABLE It outputs L during the reset period.
FALE 85 O FLASH This is an Address Latch Enable to the Flash Memory chips.
ADDRESS It outputs H when the addresses are output to the FD bus.
LATCH ENABLE It outputs L during the reset period.
FRE 84 O FLASH This is a Read Enable to the Flash Memory chips. It outputs L
READ ENABLE in reading data from the FD bus. It outputs H during the reset
period.
FWE 83 O FLASH This is a Write Enable to the Flash Memory chips. It outputs L
WRITE ENABLE in writing into the FD bus. It outputs H during the reset period.
FBSY 82 I FLASH BUSY This is a Ready/Busy Input from the Flash Memory chips.
The input of 0 indicates Busy and the input of 1 indicates
Ready. Please connect the Ready/Busy Output from the Flash
Memory chips to this pin via the Pull-up Resister.
FWP 81 O FLASH This is a Write Protect for the Flash memory chips. The write
WRITE protect is performed when the Flash Memory is not accessed.
PROTECT It outputs L during the reset period.
EEPROM Interface
EEPROMSD 3 B EEPROM This is a Serial Data I/O pin for EEPROM.

SERIAL DATA In case EEPROM has not been used, please use it in open
condition. (With the Pull-up Resister)
EEPROMSC 19 O EEPROM This is a Serial Clock Output pin for EEPROM.

SERIAL CLOCK In case EEPROM has not been used, please use it in open
condition.

Others
WPIN 88 I WRITE This is a Write Protect Input. If the input is 1, the write
PROTECT INPUT commands from the host are aborted. The input state is
reflected in the IOIS16 (WP) pin and the RWProt “D0” bit of
FCR Pin Replacement Register and it outputs the input logic.
This pin does not change after power-on. Also, changing it is

not allowed. In Memory Card Interface, this pin outputs the
input from the IOIS16 (WP) pin with its logic unchanged.
PONRST 64 I POWER ON This is a power-on reset for TC58NC344. By making this

RESET signal 0, the inside of TC58NC344 becomes in reset status,
and by making it 1, the reset gets cancelled.
PWRDWN 67 I POWER DOWN This is a Self Power-down Setup pin in TC58NC344. If this
SELECTION signal is set to 0 and an oscillator with an oscillation control
INPUT function is used, the OCTL pin becomes active automatically 5
msec after the command is finished, the clock input becomes
invalid and it shifts to Power-down Mode. Commands can be
accepted during the power-down period. If this signal is 1, it
shifts to Power-down Mode only by the ATA commands of the
power-down system such as Standby and Idle.
MCLK 98 I MASTER CLOCK This is a Supply Master Clock to the interior logic of
INPUT TC58NC344CF. Please connect it to OUTCLK.

*Notes concerning SmartMedia Adapter
In connecting SmartMedia into the connector, if SmartMedia is in moving state, a chattering might occur in the
part where the connector touches the SmartMedia. So, until the SmartMedia is inserted completely into the
connector and the connection becomes stable, please reset TC58NC344 and refrain from accessing to
SmartMedia. In this case, it is recommended to reset for at least 200 msec, if possible for 500 msec after the
11 pins of the SmartMedia touches the connector of SmartMedia.
It is not until either XPONRST or RESET pin is absolved and it takes 1024μs cycle that TC58NC344 should
send command to Flash Memory first, That's why you should keep stability of power supply for flash memory
during this term.

3. Host Interfaces
TC58NC344 corresponds to the following three interfaces as host interfaces; PC Card (Memory and ATA) Interfaces
and IDE Interface. The PC Card ATA Interface supports four I/O modes (Memory Mapped I/O, Independent I/O, Primary
and Secondary). In addition, the PC Card Interfaces have a memory space called Attribute Memory which can configure
TC58NC344 by using a software.
(All the items marked by asterisks “*” in the table below mean “Do not Care”.)
4. PC Card Interfaces
Address Map
<Attribute Memory Space>
Attribute Memory contains CIS (Card Information Structure) which helps the host to recognize a kind of functions
connected to TC58NC344. It also contains FCR (Function Configuration Register) to perform the configurations. The
Attribute Memory can be accessed in Memory Interface state and also after it is configured as I/O Interface. The
procedures for accessing Attribute Memory Registers and their addresses are described below.
[Attribute Memory Reading Operation]

WE must be inactive (1), REG and OE must be active (0) during the Read Cycle of the Attribute Memory. CE2 , CE1 and A0
control both odd and even addresses, however, only the data in even addresses is valid in Attribute Memory Access.

Register Details
Attribute Memory Space and I/O Space Registers are described below respectively.
<CIS (Card Information Structure) >

CIS is Read-only Register which indicates the attribute information of functions connected to TC58NC344. The
registers consist of 128 bytes of an address space which is allocated to even addresses in the range of 000h to 0FFh.
The address space is implemented by the internal RAM of TC58NC344, data is read from the Flash in reset. At this
time, TC58NC344 sets RDY/BSY to L notifying that accessing to the host interface is not allowed.
<FCRs (Function Configuration Registers) >

These registers are used by the host to set TC58NC344.

This bit can not be changed by executing the ATA Set Feature command.
This bit is not interlocked with the IOIS16 pin.
PwrDwn: This bit indicates Power Down.

1: Power Down 0: Operating Status
When this bit is set to 0, the system is in the status specified by the prior ATA command. When this bit is set to 1 and
the BSYSEL signal is 1, the system is in ATA Standby Mode unless the ATA command gets accepted. When ATA
commands can not be accepted while the Power Down Mode is being released (during the state change), the D6
“DRDY” bit in the ATA Status Register is set to L (Not Ready). The host must not set it to Power Down status while
TC58NC344 is in BSY Mode. In case the oscillator with an oscillation control function is being used, the oscillation stops
when this bit is set.

Read/Write R/W
In this register, the host writes the sector count of data for which a transfer request has been made to perform Read and Write
operations by ATA command between the host and TC58NC344. The register value of 0h (All 0) indicates the sector count of 256.
The register value being 0h after the ATA command execution means the command has ended normally. If the command does not
end normally, the sector count that must be transferred to complete the request from the host is designated in this register. (The
remaining sector count that has not been transferred is designated.) Right after the Power-on Reset, this register is “00h”. It
becomes “01h” after the initialization process of TC58NC344.
[Sector Number Register]

ATA Commands
1. ATA Command Block

ATA Command Block is the general name of 7 registers which are used to transmit commands by using ATA
Command Protocols. By interpreting the contents of these registers, the addressing mode which is used to specify the
address of the medium in TC58NC344 is determined. TC58NC344 supports CHS Addressing Mode and LBA Addressing
Mode.

Sector Number (3) X
Cylinder Low (4) X
Cylinder High (5) X
Drive Head (6) 1 LBA 1 Drive X
Command (7) X
2. ATA Command Block Register Operation

By writing the necessary parameter to the related register in the Command Block and writing the command code in the
Command Register, a command is issued to TC58NC344. There are three types of classes. To receive all the commands,
it is fundamental that BSY = 0 (L: negate).
When TC58NC344 receives the Class 1 command, it sets BSY to H within 400 nsec.
When TC58NC344 receives the Class 2 command, it sets BSY to H within 400 nsec, sets up the sector buffer for the
writing action, sets DRQ to H within 700 µsec and clears BSY to L within 400 nsec from the DRQ setting.
* In case it is in Power-down Mode, it is impossible to set DRQ to H within 700 µsec because the oscillator
connected to TC58NC344 has stopped.
When TC58NC344 receives the Class 3 command, it sets BSY to H within 400 nsec, sets up the sector buffer for the
writing action, sets DRQ to H within 20 msec and clears BSY to L within 400 nsec from the DRQ setting.
Note) About Class 2 and Class 3, the transition of BSY may be too short for the host to recognize BSY = 1 (H) because
DRQ is set to H so quickly.
TC58NC344 does not correspond to a New Command in case a New Command is issued when TC58NC344 is
processing an Old Command.

Feature (1) X
Command (7) 20h or 21h
This command enables the host to read the sectors 1 to 256 which are designated by the Sector Count Register of TC58NC344.
The sector count of 0 indicates the transfer request of 256 sectors. The transfer starts at the sector designated by the Sector
Number. DRQ is always set prior to the data transfer regardless of the error state. When this command is finished, the cylinder,
head and sector number of the last sector which was read are set in the task file. If an error occurs, the read operation aborts in the
sector with the error. The cylinder, head and sector number of the sector where an error occurred are set in the task file. The data
where an error occurred remains in the sector buffer.
Input Parameters

Originally, this command is used to enable TC58NC344 to perform the Read Multiple and Write Multiple operations. “00h” or “01h”
can be set in the Sector Count Register. When TC58NC344 issues this command, the Read Multiple and Write Multiple command
can be executed.
Input Parameters
Sector Count Register = Sector Count per Block
(00h = Multiple Command inhibited, 01h = Multiple Command allowed,
Other cases beside 00h and 01h = Multiple Command inhibited)


1. DRDY = 0
2. Unsupported Block Size (Sector Count Register = other cases beside 00h and 01h)

This command is the only way to set TC58NC344 to Sleep mode. By performing a hardware reset or a software reset, or when an
ATA Command is accepted, TC58NC344 recovers from the Sleep mode. When in Sleep mode, the D6 bit “DRDY” of the ATA
Status Register is "H" (Ready). As soon as this command is issued, TC58NC344 moves to Power-down mode right away. In
case the oscillator with an oscillation control function is used, the oscillation stops.

When this command issued, TC58NC344 sets BSY and moves itself to Standby Mode. Then it clears BSY and issues an interrupt.
An interrupt occurs even though TC58NC344 has not moved to Standby Mode completely. Whatever the Sector Count Register,
TC58NC344 gets converted immediately to Power Down Mode. In case an oscillator with an oscillation control function is used, the
oscillation stops. In case the Sector Count Register is “00h”, it does not get set beck to Power Down Mode if a command is received
after the Power Down. However, if the Sector Count Register is something other than “00h” and the command is received after
Power Down is done once, an Auto Power Down Sequence is permitted after the command execution and a countdown starts right
away. In case an oscillator with an oscillation control function is used, the oscillation stops after the time set in the Sector Count
Register. The command reception is enabled during the Power Down Period.
Input Parameters
Sector Count Register = Setting Auto Power Down Sequence
“00h”: the Auto Power Down Sequence is inhibited
Except“00h”: the Auto Power Down Sequence is permitted


Note) If the input of the PWRDWN signal is 0, the setting of Auto Power Down Sequence is ignored and it changes to Self Power

When this command is issued, TC58NC344 sets BSY and moves itself to Standby Mode. Then it clears BSY and issues an interrupt.
An interrupt occurs even though TC58NC344 has not moved to Standby Mode completely. TC58NC344 gets converted immediately
to Power Down Mode after executing this command. In case an oscillator with an oscillation control function is used, the oscillation
stops. If the command is received after the Power Down is done once, it depends on the value set by the standby and idle
commands in the Sector Count Register and moves itself to Auto Power Down Sequence. The command reception is enabled
during the Power Down Period.

Reset Operation
TC58NC344 has four kinds of reset processes as follows.
Hardware Reset by PONRST pin
(1) TC58NC344 performs a consecutive diagnosis and sets the default values into ATA Command Block.
(2) After canceling the reset, it returns to Memory-Mapped I/O Interface.
(3) The default values of the ATA Command Block are as follows.
Error Register: 01h, Cylinder Low Register: 00h, Feature Register: 81h, Cylinder High Register: 00h,
Sector Count Register: 01h, Drive/Head Register: A0h, Sector Number Register: 01h,
FCR Configuration Option Register SRESET (D7) bit: 0
Hardware Reset by RESET pin
(3) The default values of the ATA Command Block are the same as those of the hardware reset by PONRST pin.
Software Reset by SRESET (D7) bit in FCR Configuration Option Register
(3) The default values of the ATA Command Block are the same as those of the hardware reset by PONRST pin.
(4) This reset does not influence SRESET bit. (To cancel: SRESET = 0)
Software Reset by SRST (D2) bit in ATA Drive Control Register
(1) TC58NC344 resets the host interface circuit.
(2) This reset does not influence SRST bit. (To cancel: SRST = 0)
(3) TC58NC344 maintains all the parameters before the reset regardless of the status of the Set Feature command.
However, the ATA Command Block except for the Feature Register is initialized.
(4) TC58NC344 only supplies the ATA soft reset function. It does not reset PC Card Interface. The normal access is
ensured because each parameter is not canceled even if this reset is executed every time the command
execution is finished.

EEPROM Interface
The EEPROM connected this interface is used in the following occasions.
・ In case the capacity of the 128 byte CIS Information Area secured in the NAND memory is not enough
・ In case of wanting to change a part of the Identify Drive Information
・ In case of using the NAND Flash Memory of an unsupported device ID
In case of connecting EEPROM or in case of using it only in IDE Mode, right CIS information must be
written in the first good block in the connected NAND Flash Memory.
This is to confirm the connection condition of the Flash Memory because CIS information is being used.
EEPROM uses X24CO4 (Xicor company production). Outline specification of this product are as follows.
・ An Interface with two lines
・ Power Supply Voltage: 3.3V(EEPROM can connect with TC58NC344 directly)
・ Serial Clock : Possible to operate with 100KHz
・ Capacity : More than 4096 bits
・ EEPROM Interface : Write time 10ms or less
In case of not using EEPROM, please have the connection pins (EEPROMSD and EEPROMSC)open.
Please refer to “Process of programming/re-programming CIS/Identify Drive and Test Commands” for data
formatting and access procedures.

128 Mbytes 1 Gbit 1 500 16 32 256,000
Flash Memory Identification Method

TC58NC344 recognizes the Flash Memory capacity by Reading the Flash Memory Device ID. After reading the normal
Device ID, the first 10 bytes of the first valid block “CIS/Identify Drive information Area” are checked in order to determine
whether the physical formatting has been performed or not. If unsupported Device ID or an illegal data is found from the
first 10 bytes, the status is determined to be disabled (BSY state).
If a disabled state (BSY state) is found, please perform the physical formatting in the Flash Memory by using the Vendor
Unique ATA Command.
The recognizable Device IDs are as follows.

How to calculate Read and Write Performance

* The Value and Condition for the calculation
NAND Flash Memory
: TOSHIBA 512Mbit
The Reading Time of 1 Sector
: About 0.1msec
The Writing Time of 1 Sector
: About 0.3msec (Please refer to NAND Flash Memory Datasheet.)
The Erasing Time of 1 Block (32 Sectors)
: About 3msec (Please refer to NAND Flash Memory Datasheet.)
The Transaction Time of Controller for 1 to 32 Sectors New Write in the case of Address Hit
: About 2.1msec
The Transaction Time of Controller for 1 to 32 Sectors New Write in the case of Address Miss Hit
: About 14.8msec
The Transaction Time of Controller for 1 to 32 Sectors Overwrite in the case of Address Hit
: About 4.7msec
The Transaction Time of Controller for 1 to 32 Sectors Overwrite in the case of Address Miss Hit
: About 17.4msec
The Transaction Time of Controller for 1 Sector Read in the case of Address Hit
: About 0.2msec
The Transaction Time of Controller for 1 Sector Read in the case of Address Miss Hit
: About 12.9msec
Note)
This controller can have the lookup table, which is a table for address translation from host logical address to flash
physical address, of only 1 zone NAND Flash Memory. When host logical address exists in the lookup table (Address
Hit), the controller can operate quickly. But when host logical address does not exist in the lookup table (Address
Miss Hit), the controller cannot operate quickly because the controller must remake the lookup table.
* The Read Performance

The Read Performance can be calculated by the Reading Time of 1 Sector (0.1msec) x Sector Count + the
Transaction Time of Controller for 1 Sector read in the case of Address Hit or Address Miss Hit x Sector Count + Data
Transfer Time from Controller to Host.
* The Write Performance

The Write Performance must be changed by the Sector Count, the Sector Number that is the Writing Start Address
and how to write, such as New Write or Overwrite. So it is very difficult to specify the Write Performance to the fixed
value. The following descriptions are the examples of the Write Performance.
2001-03-25 72/91
TC58NC344CF
Example1:
*The Condition
Sector Count : 32
The Writing Start Address: The Top of Block
The Writing Mode: Overwrite in the case of Address Hit
*The Write Performance

The Erasing Time of 1 Block = 3msec
The Writing Time of 32 Sectors = 9.6msec (0.3msecx32)
The Transaction Time of Controller for 32 Sectors Write = 4.7msec
Therefore, 3 + 9.6 + 4.7 = about 17.3msec + Data Transfer Time from Host to Controller
Example2:
*The Condition
Sector Count : 32
The Writing Mode: Overwrite in the case of Address Miss Hit

Therefore, 3 + 9.6 + 17.4 = about 30msec + Data Transfer Time from Host to Controller
Example3:
*The Condition
Sector Count : 32
The Writing Start Address: The Second Page of Block

The Erasing Time of 2 Blocks = 6msec (3msecx2)
The Transaction Time of Controller for 64 Sectors Write =9.4msec (4.7msecx2)
Example4:
*The Condition
Sector Count : 32

The Erasing Time of 2 Blocks = 6msec (3msecx2)
Example5:
*The Condition
Sector Count : 32
The Writing Mode: New Write in the case of Address Hit

Therefore, 9.6+2.1 = about 11.7msec + Data Transfer Time from Host to Controller
2001-03-25 73/91
TC58NC344CF
Example6:
*The Condition
Sector Count : 32
The Writing Mode: New Write in the case of Address Miss Hit

Example7:
*The Condition
Sector Count : 32

Therefore, 19.2 + 4.2 = about 23.4msec + Data Transfer Time from Host to Controller
Example8:
*The Condition
Sector Count : 32

Therefore, 19.2 + 29.6 = about 48.8msec + Data Transfer Time from Host to Controller
Example9:
*The Condition
Sector Count : 1
(It is same result although the writing start address is the second page or the last page of block.)

*The Condition
Sector Count : 1

MTBF
The MTBF Specification is the Logical MTBF calculated for restricting the reprogramming cycle and it is not
considered for the physical aspects. By the formula stated below, it is possible to obtain MTBF.
#of Flash Chips × #of Blocks × Re-programming Cycle × Re-programming Area Rate
MTBF =
Average Programming Sector per Hour (1 sector = 512 byte)
Notes) Since the Program Area has no possibility to be reprogrammed once it is programmed, the Re-programming
Area Rate means the area which excludes all the area that is not re-programmable. For example, if 32 Kbyte
(64 sectors) of writing in 5 minutes reprograms 30% of a 4 Mbyte (32 Mbit) disk, its MTBF can be calculated
as follows.
MTBF = (512 × 1,000,000 × 0.3) / (64 × 12)
= 200,000 hours
Even if it is supposed that the write access is increased 5 times, its MTBF is calculated up to 200,000 hours.
In case there is a problem by using the MTBF Specifications, it is possible to prolong the life time of your
system by reprogramming the area regularly which has no possibility of being reprogrammed. This is for the
Re-programming Area Rate to be 100%.
