A new generation of audio decoders
Flint has expanded its range of audio decoders with a family of single-chip solutions that provide longer playing times in smaller packages with lower power consumption.
All are ideal as slot-in replacements for rotating media where normal disk drives would be too fragile, noisy or bulky.
They plug directly into a 40-, 44- or 144-pin IDE connector without requiring an interface cable, and use the standard IDE signals and I/O protocols.
As with rotating-media drives, the Flash disk modules can be configured as master or slave devices.
Both horizontal and vertical configurations are available for the 40-pin models up to 128Mbyte and for 44-pin drives up to 160Mbyte, each supplied in a compact IDE form factor and provided with power via a separate four-pin connector.
The SLFDM144 module follows the small-outline DIMM layout and uses a 144-pin card-edge connector with IDE pinouts.
It can run from 3.3 or 5.0V supplies.
All models operate with low power consumption, allowing for longer power-up time on battery-driven applications.
High reliability is enhanced still further by 512byte Sector and ECC Defect Management, ensuring data integrity of 1 in 10E14bit.
Guaranteed for 300,000 read-write cycles, these solid-state disk modules meet tough specifications for vibration and shock resistance, and are offered in extended (-25 to +85øC) and industrial (-40 to +85øC) operational temperature ranges to cater for the most demanding environments.
