Background technology
Development along with information technology, mobile storage to data has become more and more important, at present, the mobile data storage device can be divided into magnetic memory, photomagnetic memory and semiconductor memory three major types such as (Flash Memory) according to the kind of storage medium.
Magnetic memory comprises floppy disk and ZIP dish.Wherein, the capacity of floppy disk little (being generally 1.44M now), speed is slow, only is applicable to simple backup of small files and exchanges data.Though and the ZIP dish has bigger capacity, volume that it is bigger and more expensive price are very limited its scope of application.
The shortcoming of photomagnetic memory is that the speed of write data is slow and inconvenient, and the data of situation often revise to(for) needs is extremely impracticable.In addition, it needs extra driving arrangement support, and volume is bigger.
Therefore, semiconductor memory is developed rapidly, and it mainly comprises: adopt flash memory disk, the intelligence of USB interface to deposit the data storage card of card etc. and self defined interface and standard.Existing data storage card comprises CF (Compact Flash Card), SM (Smart Media Card), MMC (Multi Media Card), SD (Secure Digital), Memory Stick (memory stick) and Micro Drive (micro hard disk) etc.
Because every kind of semiconductor memory all has self specific data-interface, size, agreement, the scope of application is relative with function single, has limitation; And then make between the different equipment data sharing and become very complicated alternately.
For example, adopt the product data storage of standard USB interface to be mainly used in desktop computer, notebook computer etc.; And the data storage card of self defined interface and standard is applied to the embedded electronic product more, as digital camera, PDA etc.Prior art has to adopt card reader in order to carry out data sharing between computer and other electronic products, and carries out the conversion of data format when realizing exchanges data, thereby increases cost, expend time in, and influences read or write speed.
In addition, some embedded electronic product (as mobile phone, MP3 player etc.) adopts the internal USB interface to connect the mobile data storage device and realizes the mobile data storage, owing to defer to agreement of the same race with computer, therefore when data interaction, need not to carry out the conversion of data format.But because the embedded electronic product is generally battery supply set, its internal USB interface adopts the supply power mode of 3.3V, and the USB interface that existing mobile data storage device adopts is the USB interface of complete standard, is used for obtaining the 5V power supply from computer.Therefore, parameter such as the interface voltage of the existing mobile data storage device that can be applicable to computer and power consumption and do not meet the application demand of these embedded electronic products.
