Description:
With the new HighSpeed Industrial IDE Flash Series, APRO offers the perfect solution for industrial applications. The demand of the customers for long term supply with consistent key components can be granted by APRO for this whole product line.

The integrated 3S-ATA-Controller offers nearly 100% reliabilty by using a 4-bit Error Correction Code (ECC) with HighSpeed data transmission at the same time. These features will be furthermore supported by the used SAMSUNG SLC (Single-Level-Cell) Flash-ICs, which offers higher transmission-rates and more write/erase cycles than comparable modules equipped with MLC (Multi-Level-Cell) Flash-ICs.

For harsh application which demands an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C the APRO microIDE Flash Drives are also available with Controller and Flash-ICs specified for this range.

Beneath this the modules offers also all features to be used in industrial applications like:

• The integrated ATA-Controller enables the use of the modules in True-IDE-Mode, which ensures the operation at the IDE-Interface of a x86 based PC-system.
  
  
• For applications which are based on Windows® XP or Windows® Embedded XP the modules are delivered can IDE-FIXED, which ensures that the cards are recognized as standard IDE hard drives.
  
  
• Compatibility and interoperability with most hard- and software-platforms like DOS, Windows® 3.x, 95/98, NT, 2000, XP, CE.NET, OS/2 Warp, VxWorks, Linux, Embedded-OS and others.
  
  
• With the great advantages of non-volatile and solid state, the microIDE modules are more robust regarding shock, vibration and mechanical loads than conventional hard disk drives and consume around 5% of the power required by small disk drives.
  
  
• > 1.000.000 hours MTBF, up to 2.000.000 write/erase-cycles based on Wear-Leveling and advanced Bad-Sector-Management and up to 10 years data-backup without any battery-buffer ensures the function of the microIDE over a long period of time.
