1. Product Overview
1.1 Introduction of Innodisk SATADOM-MV 3ME3
Innodisk Serial ATA Disk on Module (SATADOM) supports SATA III standard (6.0Gb/s) interface with excellent
performance, and SATADOM-MV 3ME3 is designed as the smallest form factor size that could enhance
compatibility with various design applications. Particularly the 7th pin of standard SATA 7pin connector can
optionally be the built-in power VCC pin. In other words, it could be connected directly to the SATA on-board
socket on customers’ system without additional power cable. Besides, the booting time for operation and the
power consumption is less than hard disk drive (HDD), and can work under harsh environment compile with
ATA protocol, no additional drives are required, and the SSD can be configured as a boot device or data
storage device.

required.

2.13 Hot Plug
The SSD support hot plug function and can be removed or plugged-in during operation. User has to avoid hot
plugging the SSD which is configured as boot device and installed operation system.
Surprise hot plug : The insertion of a SATA device into a backplane (combine signal and power) that has
power present. The device powers up and initiates an OOB sequence.
Surprise hot removal: The removal of a SATAdevice from a powered backplane, without first being placed in a
quiescent state.
2.14 NAND Flash Memory
Innodisk SATADOM-MV 3ME3 uses Multi Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash memory, which is non-volatility, high
reliability and high speed memory storage. Each cell stores 2 bits or holds four states per cell. Read or Write
data to flash memory for SSD is control by microprocessor.

3. Theory of Operation
3.1 Overview
Figure 2 shows the operation of Innodisk SATADOM-MV 3ME3 from the system level, including the major
hardware blocks.
Figure 2: Innodisk SATADOM-MV 3ME3 Block Diagram

SATADOM-MV 3ME3
14 Rev. 1.0 TPS, September, 2015
Innodisk SATADOM-MV 3ME3 integrates a SATAIII controller and NAND flash memories. Communication with
the host occurs through the host interface, using the standard ATA protocol. Communication with the flash
device(s) occurs through the flash interface.
3.2 SATA III Controller
Innodisk SATADOM-MV 3ME3 is designed with ID 108/ 109, a SATA III 6.0Gbps (Gen. 3) controller. The Serial
ATA physical, link and transport layers are compliant with Serial ATA Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3 specification
(Gen 3 supports 1.5Gbps/3.0Gbps/6.0Gbps data rate). The controller has 2 channels for flash interface.
3.3 Error Detection and Correction
Highly sophisticated Error Correction Code algorithms are implemented. The ECC unit consists of the Parity
Unit (parity-byte generation) and the Syndrome Unit (syndrome-byte computation). This unit implements an
algorithm that can correct 40 bits per 1024 bytes in an ECC block. Code-byte generation during write
operations, as well as error detection during read operation, is implemented on the fly without any speed
penalties.
3.4 Wear-Leveling
Flash memory can be erased within a limited number of times. This number is called the erase cycle limit or
write endurance limit and is defined by the flash array vendor. The erase cycle limit applies to each individual
erase block in the flash device.
Innodisk SATADOM-MV 3ME3 uses a static wear-leveling algorithm to ensure that consecutive writes of a
specific sector are not written physically to the same page/block in the flash. This spreads flash media usage
evenly across all pages, thereby extending flash lifetime.
3.5 Bad Blocks Management
Bad Blocks are blocks that contain one or more invalid bits whose reliability are not guaranteed. The Bad
Blocks may be presented while the SSD is shipped, or may develop during the life time of the SSD. When the
Bad Blocks is detected, it will be flagged, and not be used anymore. The SSD implement Bad Blocks
management, Bad Blocks replacement, Error Correct Code to avoid data error occurred. The functions will be
enabled automatically to transfer data from Bad Blocks to spare blocks, and correct error bit.
3.6 Power Cycling
Innodisk’s power cycling management is a comprehensive data protection mechanism that functions before
and after a sudden power outage to SSD. Low-power detection terminates data writing before an abnormal
power-off, while table-remapping after power-on deletes corrupt data and maintains data integrity. Innodisk’s
power cycling provides effective power cycling management, preventing data stored in flash from degrading

with use.
3.7 Garbage Collection
Garbage collection is used to maintain data consistency and perform continual data cleansing on SSDs. It runs
as a background process, freeing up valuable controller resources while sorting good data into available blocks,
and deleting bad blocks. It also significantly reduces write operations to the drive, thereby increasing the SSD’s
speed and lifespan.

4. Installation Requirements
4.1 SATADOM-MV 3ME3 Pin Directions
* All SATADOM Pin 7 with power is separate model, with different PN
Figure 3: Signal Segment and Power Segment
4.2 Electrical Connections for SATADOM-MV 3ME3
A Serial ATA device may be either directly connected to a host or connected to a host through a cable. For
connection via cable, the cable should be no longer than 1meter. The SATAinterface has a separate connector
for the power supply. Please refer to the pin description for further details.
4.3 Device Drive
No additional device drives are required. The Innodisk SATADOM-MV 3ME3 can be configured as a boot
device.
4.4 Pin7 VCC
SATADOM-MV 3ME3 sereies with Pin7 VCC, it is defined Pin7 as VCC on the SATA connector. Thus the
power would come from SATA connector Pin7 VCC. Customers DO NOT have to use the power cable for
power supply. Such a wireless design of SATADOM-MV 3ME3 series with Pin7 VCC brings more convenience
to customers’ system. The followings are the points customers have to be careful of while designing in
SATADOM-MV 3ME3 series with Pin7 VCC.
SATADOM-MV 3ME3 series with Pin7 VCC is designed with a fuse (poly switch 500mA, 6V) on Pin7’s circuit.
Such a design could avoid any potential damage to customers’ system.
When customers use SATADOM D150MV with Pin7 VCC and the host SATAsocket does not have power on

SATADOM-MV 3ME3
17 Rev. 1.0 TPS, September, 2015
pin 7, external power must be provided to the SATADOM from the 2pin connector on the side.
To have the advantages of SATADOM-MV 3ME3 series with Pin7 VCC, and to avoid any potential damage to
customers’ board designed with VCC power supply, InnoDisk suggests that customers MUST design their
board with a fuse which should be designed before the SATA socket Pin7 VCC. In other words, customers are
suggested NOT TO layout 5V VCC to SATA socket on board directly. A circuit diagram example to explain this
is shown as below.
4.5 Power cable
A power cable is shipped with each SATADOM product, which has standard 4pins power
connector and special 3 pins power connector for SATADOM. The male and female power
connector of SATADOM have foolproof design to avoid misconnection, please check it before
power on.
* PN end with F is SATADOM Pin 7 with power supply version, which doesn’t
provide power cable.
