    5.5.2 Phases of operation An Ultra DMA data transfer is accomplished through a series of Ultra DMA data in or data out bursts. Each Ultra DMA burst has three mandatory phases of operation: the initiation phase, the data transfer phase, and the Ultra DMA burst termination phase. In addition, an Ultra DMA burst may be paused during the data transfer phase (see 5.5.3 and 5.5.4 for the detailed protocol descriptions for each of these phases, 5.6 defines the specific timing requirements).

    6.1.2 Response to hardware reset Response to RESET- (hardware reset through the interface) is similar to the power-on reset. Upon receipt of hardware reset, the master device checks a DASP- signal for up to 450 ms to confirm presence of a slave device. The master device recognizes the presence of the slave device when it confirms assertion of the DASP- signal.

    6.1.4 Response to diagnostic command When the master device receives an EXECUTE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command and the slave device is present, the master device checks the PDIAG- signal for up to 6 seconds to see if the slave device has completed the self-diagnosis successfully. The master device does not check the DASP- signal.

  • Page 171: Address Translation

    Address Translation When the IDD receives any command which involves access to the disk medium, the IDD always implements the address translation from the logical address (a host-specified address) to the physical address (logical to physical address translation). Following subsections explains the CHS translation mode. 6.2.1 Default parameters In the logical to physical address translation, the logical cylinder, head, and sector addresses...

  • Page 172: Logical Address

    6.2.2 Logical address CHS mode Logical address assignment starts from physical cylinder (PC) 0, physical head (PH) 0, and physical sector (PS) 1 and is assigned by calculating the number of sectors per track which is specified by the INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command. The head address is advanced at the subsequent sector from the last sector of the current physical head address.

    LBA mode Logical address assignment in the LBA mode starts from physical cylinder 0, physical head 0, and physical sector 1. The logical address is advanced at the subsequent sector from the last sector of the current track. The first physical sector of the subsequent physical track is the consecutive logical sector from the last sector of the current physical track.

    Sleep mode The power consumption of the drive is minimal in this mode. The drive enters only the standby mode from the sleep mode. The only method to return from the standby mode is to execute a software or hardware reset. The drive enters the sleep mode under the following condition: A SLEEP command is issued.

    6.4.1 Spare area Following two types of spare area are provided in the user space. 1) Spare sector for sector slip: used for alternating defective sectors at formatting in shipment (255 sectors/60 cylinder) 2) Spare cylinder for alternative assignment: used by automatic alternative assignment. (4 cylinder/drive) 6.4.2 Alternating defective sectors The two alternating methods described below are available:...

    Alternate cylinder assignment A defective sector is assigned to the spare sector in the alternate cylinder. This processing is performed when a physical track contains three or more defective sectors, and when the automatic alternate processing is performed. Figure 6.8 shows an example where (physical) sector 5 is detective on head 0 in cylinder 0. Index Sector (physical) Cylinder 0...

    Read-Ahead Cache After a read command which reads the data from the disk medium is completed, the read- ahead cache function reads the subsequent data blocks automatically and stores the data in the data buffer. When the next command requests to read the read-ahead data, the data can be transferred from the data buffer without accessing the disk medium.

  • Page 179: Caching Operation

    6.5.2 Caching operation The caching operation is performed only at receipt of the following commands. The device transfers data from the data buffer to the host system if the following data exist in the data buffer. All sector data to be processed by the command A part of data including the starting sector to be processed by the command When a part of data to be processed exist in the data buffer, the remaining data are read from the disk medium and are transferred to the host system.

  • Page 180: Usage Of Read Segment

    6.5.3 Usage of read segment This subsection explains the usage of the read segment buffer at following cases. Miss-hit (no hit) A lead block of the read-requested data is not stored in the data buffer. The requested data is read from the disk media. 1) Sets the host address pointer (HAP) and the disk address pointer (DAP) to the sequential address to the last read segment.
  • Page 181 Sequential read When the disk drive receives the read command that targets the sequential address to the previous read command, the disk drive tries to fill the buffer space with the read ahead data. a. Sequential command just after non-sequential command At receiving the sequential read command, the disk drive sets the DAP and HAP to the sequential address of the last read command and reads the requested data.
  • Page 182 b. Sequential hit When the last sector address of the previous read command is sequential to the lead sector address of the received read command, the disk drive transfers the hit data in the buffer to the host system. The disk drive performs the read-ahead operation of the new continuous data to the empty area that becomes vacant by data transfer at the same time as the disk drive starts transferring data to the host system.
  • Page 183 Full hit (hit all) All requested data are stored in the data buffer. The disk drive starts transferring the requested data from the address of which the requested data is stored. After completion of command, a previously existed cache data before the full hit reading are still kept in the buffer, and the disk drive does not perform the read-ahead operation.
  • Page 184 1) The disk drive sets the HAP to the address where the partially hit data is stored, and sets the DAP to the address just after the partially hit data. Partially hit data 2) The disk drive starts transferring partially hit data and reads lack data from the disk media at the same time.

  • Page 185: Write Cache

    Write Cache The write cache function of the drive makes a high speed processing in the case that data to be written by a write command is logically sequent the data of previous command and random write operation is performed. When the drive receives a write command, the drive starts transferring data of sectors requested by the host system and writing on the disk medium.
  • Page 186 At the time that the drive has stopped the command execution after the error recovery has failed, the write cache function is disabled automatically. The releasing the disable state can be done by the SET FEATURES command. When the power of the drive is turned on after the power is turned off once, the status of the write cache function returns to the default state.
