2. General Description
The Hyperstone F1-8XN, F1-8XT and F1-8XH flash memory controllers are among the most powerful single-chip controllers on the market for designing ATA based Flash Memory PC Cards / CompactFlash Cards. The required external component count is reduced to a bare minimum of few passive components enabling the design of very low-cost but highperformance ATA flash memory cards / CompactFlash Cards. The Hyperstone F1-8X flash memory controller can operate with flash memory devices from Hitachi and Samsung or compatible chips thereof. It operates with 5.0V and 3.3V and enables automatic voltage detection for the cards. A highly sophisticated Error Correction Code and a wear-leveling algorithm are also implemented. A complete set of development tools is available which enables you to design ATA Flash Memory Cards / CompactFlash Cards with a very competitive cost/performance ratio. The main features of Hyperstone F1-8X flash memory controller are:


Inexpensive single-chip controller for ATA flash memory cards / CompactFlash cards Full support for Hitachi and Samsung flash memories Built-in 3.3V voltage regulator for flash memory supply Built-in PC card / CompactFlash Interface Data transfer rate to flash memories: up to 20 MBytes/s Supports True-IDE mode On-chip ECC unit Sophisticated software for wear leveling Automatic power-down mode and sleep mode Small 128-pin LQFP package (F1-8XN) also available in a 100-pin TQFP package (F1-8XH) for low-cost CompactFlash Card applications supporting up to 5 flash memory chips available in a 100-pin TQFP package (F1-8XT) for low-cost CompactFlash Card applications supporting up to 4 flash memory chips, compatible to previous controller revisions Comprehensive equipment available for development and test of hardware and firmware



The Hyperstone F1-8X single-ship controller for ATA Flash Memory Cards / CompactFlash Cards is based on the Hyperstone E1-32X microprocessor core providing a modern 32-bit RISC architecture. The controller's flash memory interface allows the direct connection of up to 16 flash memory chips (5 chips for the F1-8XH) and supports either Hitachi 64 Mbit flash memories (e.g. HN29W6411) or Samsung type flash memories (e.g. KM29U64000). Next-generation flash memories will be supported as well. Through the sophisticated memory interface of the Hyperstone F1-8X, your flash memory card will achieve a superior performance with a data transfer rate to flash memories of up to 20 MBytes/s. An on-chip ECC unit generates the required code bytes for error detection and correction of up to six bytes per 512 Byte data sector. Code byte generation during write operations as well as error detection during read operation is implemented on the fly without any speed penalties.
