Host Commands, Command code and parameters

Interface

(2) Device Control register (X’3F6’)

The Device Control register contains device interrupt and software reset.

Bit 7	Bit 6	Bit 5	Bit 4	Bit 3	Bit 2	Bit 1	Bit	0

HOB	X	X	X	X	SRST	nIEN	0

-Bit 7: High Order Byte (HOB) is the selector bit that selects higher-order information or lower-order information of the EXT system command.

If HOB = 1, LBA bits 47 to 24 and the higher-order 8 bits of the sector count are displayed in the task register.

If HOB = 0, LBA bits 23 to 0 and the lower-order 8 bits of the sector count are displayed in the task register.

-Bit 2: Software Reset (SRST) is the host software reset bit. When this bit is set, the device is held reset state. When two devices are daisy chained on the interface, setting this bit resets both devices simultaneously.

The slave device is not required to execute the DASP- handshake.

-Bit 1: nIEN bit enables an interrupt (INTRQ signal) from the device to the host. When this bit is 0 and the device is selected, an interruption (INTRQ signal) can be enabled through a tri-state buffer. When this bit is 1 or the device is not selected, the INTRQ signal is in the high- impedance state.

5.3Host Commands

The host system issues a command to the device by writing necessary parameters in related registers in the command block and writing a command code in the Command register.

The device can accept the command when the BSY bit is 0 (the device is not in the busy status).

The host system can halt the uncompleted command execution only at execution of hardware or software reset.

When the BSY bit is 1 or the DRQ bit is 1 (the device is requesting the data transfer) and the host system writes to the command register, the correct device operation is not guaranteed.

MHW2060AC, MHW2040AC specifications

The Fujitsu MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are notable hard disk drives (HDDs) that have been widely used in various computing applications, especially in laptops and compact devices. These models are part of Fujitsu's commitment to providing reliable storage solutions that meet the demands of modern computing.

The MHW2040AC offers a storage capacity of 40 GB, while the MHW2060AC provides a slightly larger capacity at 60 GB. This range of storage makes both models suitable for users looking for dependable space for documents, multimedia files, and software applications. Both drives utilize a 2.5-inch form factor, ideal for mobile computing, as they are lightweight and designed to fit into space-constrained environments.

In terms of performance, both drives operate at a spindle speed of 5400 RPM. This speed strikes a balance between power consumption and performance, making these drives an efficient choice for everyday tasks, such as web browsing and office applications. The drives are equipped with an interface of Ultra ATA/133, which enables faster data transfer rates compared to older models, thereby enhancing overall system responsiveness.

The MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC also incorporate several advanced technologies to bolster their performance and reliability. One such feature is the use of a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) for the spindle motor, which minimizes noise and vibration, thus improving the overall user experience. Additionally, both drives come with error correction technology that helps maintain data integrity by detecting and correcting errors during read and write operations.

Moreover, these HDDs feature a shock sensor that can detect sudden movements, allowing the drive to park its heads to prevent data loss and hardware damage. This is particularly beneficial in mobile environments where the risks of impact are higher.

Both the MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are designed with energy-saving features, making them an environmentally responsible choice for energy-conscious consumers. Their low power consumption not only contributes to a reduced carbon footprint but also extends battery life for portable devices.

In summary, the Fujitsu MHW2040AC and MHW2060AC are reliable, efficient, and user-friendly hard disk drives that combine moderate capacities with advanced features designed to enhance performance, ensure data integrity, and extend device longevity. These drives are well-suited for a range of applications, making them a solid choice for users seeking dependable storage solutions.
