Description

The IN6104FD is an advanced Hi-Speed USB Flash Disk controller that allows fast data transfer between USB-equipped hosts (such as PC, PDA, MP3 Player) and NAND flash memory through USB port interface at a transfer rate of 480 Mbps. Advanced mode design allows for the IN6104FD USB flash devices to reach enhanced Read/Write performances of 34 MByte/sec and 24 MByte/sec, respectively. It also allows interface of up to 8 NAND flash memory.

The available NAND flash memories on board can generally be used as a normal single disk or partitioned into a standard/open mass storage device and a secured mass storage device. The sizes of the partitions can be easily configured and adjusted by end-users using the USB Flash Disk (UFD) utility program. To access the secured mass storage device or disk, users must enter the correct password first to access it.

Other features of IN6104FD are the Read-Only and hidden partition (optional).  The IN6104FD allows vendors to create a read-only partition for preloading their software driver and application program to save on driver CD cost and enhance user-friendliness. If a secured partition and password is set, this Read-Only partition will toggle with the secured partition disk after the password is confirmed. When you plug-in the device, the Read-Only partition and the open partition will first appear and after the end-user enters the password, the Read-Only partition will be removed and the secured partition will appear. The hidden partition allows vendors to utilize their own private application programs and use a special utility to access it. This hidden partition is not accessible and cannot be seen by end-users.  We provide a vendor manufacturing kit utility to customize and preset these special partitions.

To take advantage of Plug and Play, the mass storage device is implemented according to the USB mass storage device class. Since the standard USB mass storage driver is included within the OS, no extra driver is needed for Linux, Mac OS, Windows 7, and Windows Vista/ME/2000/XP/2003 Server. We provide a separate Windows 98 driver and support driver and utility customization. IN6104FD also supports Vista ReadyBoost requirements for both SLC and MLC NAND flash configurations.

IN6104FD provides options to customize the chip in showing the vendor identity. Vendors can modify the Vendor ID, Product ID, Language ID, manufacturer string, and product string of the final product for their customization needs.  Production configuration and test tool utilities are also provided.  IN6104FD is the best solution for secure, low power, high performance and compatibility, plug-and-play portable flash storage media.
