Datasheet
3.0 Theory of Operation
3.1
The USB Flash Module uses STEC’s U2, state-of-the art, USB 2.0 controller, and is combined with SLC
NAND Flash for optimal device reliability. The controller’s firmware supports the latest NAND flash
technology from multiple vendors, and is optimized for the highest performance and reliability.
The USB Flash Module controller consists of the functional blocks shown in Figure 4 and described below.

Microcontroller which serves as the hardware backbone for the flash controller algorithm.
USB 2.0 Interface Controller with high speed (480 Mbps) device function. This block interfaces with the
host system via the USB interface.
Flash Interface Controller that serves as the interface to the NAND flash components. It supports all
the major NAND flash memory manufacturers.
Flash Storage Management Algorithm Block is responsible for the flash management, including wear
leveling, bad block management, and Error Detection and Correction.
ECC block is responsible for on-the-fly error correction.
Sector Buffer for optimized performance.
SRAM for running controller firmware fast and efficient.
ROM for storing controllers boot code.
