4D Systems Releases micro-DRIVE for Compact Embedded Disk Drive Module
 4D Systems, available through GLYN High-Tech Distribution, is announcing the release of its new micro-DRIVE (uDRIVE-uSD-G1), a compact high performance “Embedded Disk Drive” module that can be easily added to any micro-controller design that requires a DOS compatible file and data storage system. Most microcontrollers have small and limited on-chip memory. For those applications that require large volumes of data, the micro-DRIVE integrates the GOLDELOX-DOS chip onto a tiny 'drop-in-module'. A simple serial interface is all that is required to take away the burden of low level design that would otherwise be required for the host controller.
micro-DRIVE Features:
● General purpose data storage device with a simple serial interface that can be added to any design in a wide range of embedded applications
● DOS compatible file access (FAT16 format) as well as low level access to card memory
● On board microSD memory card interface and adaptor. Accommodates off the shelf microSD removable memory cards up to 2GB capacity
● Simple serial commands provide full read-write access to the card
● Easy 5 pin interface to any host device: VCC, TX, RX, GND, RESET
● Serial interface (TTL levels) with auto-baud feature from 300 to 256K baud rates
● Onboard Status LEDs
● 3.6V to 5.5V range operation
● Tiny footprint: 14.9 x 18.9 x 3.5mm
● RoHS Compliant
micro-DRIVE Applications:
● General purpose embedded data logging
● Embedded program, data or configuration storage for processors and FPGAs
● Audio, Video and Image file storage
● GPS type data base storage
● Industrial, medical, automotive, security and gaming equipment
● Test, measurement and general purpose instrumentation
