2.1
The DiskOnChip 2000 product line is the second-generation of M-Systems’ DiskOnChip series of products. The
DiskOnChip 2000 series provides a small, single-chip, solid-state flash disk in a standard 32-pin DIP package.
Combining a disk controller with flash memory on a single chip, DiskOnChip 2000 is the solution where minimal
weight, space, and power consumption are essential. DiskOnChip 2000 is used in a wide range of products, such as
information appliances, set-top boxes, thin clients, thin servers, network computers, and embedded, portable
computers.
By placing DiskOnChip 2000 in a standard socket, physical space requirements are reduced. Unlike standard IDE
drives, no cables or extra space are required. DiskOnChip 2000 has no moving parts, resulting in significantly
decreased power consumption and increased reliability. It is easy to use and reduces integration overhead.
DiskOnChip 2000 is therefore a very attractive alternative to conventional hard and floppy disk drives.
Using TrueFFS technology, DiskOnChip 2000 delivers full hard disk emulation. As such, the design and integration
stages can be considerably reduced, thereby enabling very fast time-to-market and ease of production. Combined
with its very attractive cost structure, DiskOnChip 2000 is a superior alternative to resident flash array (RFA).
DiskOnChip 2000 products are available in capacities ranging from 16MB to 1GB. In addition, they are 100%
pinout and software compatible with the DiskOnChip Millennium DIP 8MB package. In future versions, the
capacity will increase (up to 4GB during 2003). Since the same pinout will be retained, the socket on the target
platform will not have to be changed to accommodate the larger capacities.
DiskOnChip technology provides broad support for all major operating systems and processors in the market,
enabling it to be readily integrated with any architecture.
DiskOnChip 2000 is shipped as a plug-and-play device that is fully tested and formatted, and programmed with a
DOS driver. Future driver, software or content upgrades, or formatting, can be made on-board or off-board using
DiskOnChip utilities and accessories provided by M-Systems.
