PREFACE This manual describes the MPD3xxxAT series, a 3. 5-inch hard disk drive with a BUILT-IN controller that is compatible with the ATA interface. [. . . ] Interrupts are generated when the DRQ bit of the Status register is set at the beginning of each block or partial block. C141-E069-02EN 5 - 23 The contents of the command block registers related to addresses after the transfer of a data block containing an erred sector are undefined. To obtain a valid error information, the host should retry data transfer as an individual requests.

The device controls the assertion or negation timing of the DMARQ signal. The device posts a status as the result of command execution only once at completion of the data transfer. When an error, such as an unrecoverable medium error, that the command execution cannot be continued is detected, the data transfer is stopped without transferring data of sectors after the erred sector. The device generates an interrupt using the INTRQ signal and posts a status to the host system. The format of the error information is the same as the WRITE SECTOR(S) command. A host system can be select the following transfer mode using the SET FEATURES command. 5 - 24 C141-E069-02EN 1) Multiword DMA transfer mode 2: Sets the FR register = X'03' and SC register = X'22' by the SET FEATURES command 2) Ultra DMA transfer mode 2: Sets the FR register = X'03' and SC register = X'42' by the SET FEATURES command At command issuance (I/O registers setting contents) 1F7H(CM) 1F6H(DH) 1F5H(CH) 1F4H(CL) 1F3H(SN) 1F2H(SC) 1F1H(FR) R = 0 or 1 At command completion (I/O registers contents to be read) 1F7H(ST) 1F6H(DH) 1F5H(CH) 1F4H(CL) 1F3H(SN) 1F2H(SC) 1F1H(ER) × L × Status information DV End head No. /LBA [MSB] 1 × 1 L 0 × 0 DV 1 0 1 R Start head No. / LBA [LSB] Transfer sector count xx End cylinder No. / LBA [LSB] 00 (*1) Error information *1 If the command is terminated due to an error, the remaining number of sectors of which data was not transferred is set in this register. (8) WRITE VERIFY (X'3C') This command operates similarly to the WRITE SECTOR(S) command except that the device verifies each sector immediately after being written. The verify operation is a read and check for data errors without data transfer. Any error that is detected during the verify operation is posted. At command issuance (I/O registers setting contents) 1F7H(CM) 1F6H(DH) 1F5H(CH) 1F4H(CL) 1F3H(SN) 1F2H(SC) 1F1H(FR) 0 × 0 L 1 × 1 DV 1 1 0 0 Start head No. / LBA [LSB] Transfer sector count xx C141-E069-02EN 5 - 25 At command completion (I/O registers contents to be read) 1F7H(ST) 1F6H(DH) 1F5H(CH) 1F4H(CL) 1F3H(SN) 1F2H(SC) 1F1H(ER) × L × Status information DV End head No. / LBA [LSB] 00 (*1) Error information *1 If the command is terminated due to an error, the remaining number of sectors of which data was not transferred is set in this register. (9) RECALIBRATE (X'1x', x: X'0' to X'F') This command performs the calibration. Upon receipt of this command, the device sets BSY bit of the Status register and performs a calibration. When the device completes the calibration, the device updates the Status register, clears the BSY bit, and generates an interrupt. This command can be issued in the LBA mode. At command issuance (I/O registers setting contents) 1F7H(CM) 1F6H(DH) 1F5H(CH) 1F4H(CL) 1F3H(SN) 1F2H(SC) 1F1H(FR) 0 × 0 × 0 × 1 DV xx xx xx xx xx x x xx x x At command completion (I/O registers contents to be read) 1F7H(ST) 1F6H(DH) 1F5H(CH) 1F4H(CL) 1F3H(SN) 1F2H(SC) 1F1H(ER) × × × Status information DV xx xx xx xx Error information xx 5 - 26 C141-E069-02EN (10) SEEK (X'7x', x : X'0' to X'F') This command performs a seek operation to the track and selects the head specified in the command block registers. [. . . ] However an interrupt of abnormal end is not generated when a write automatic assignment succeeds. However, since the host may issue several write commands before the drive generates an interrupt of abnormal end, the host cannot recognize that the occurred error is for which command generally. Therefore, it is very hard to retry the unrecoverable write error for the host in the write cache operation generally. So, take care to use the write cache function.
