MMC Plus cards
The SD2.0/MMC4.2/CE-ATA storage solution has been developed in
cooperation with ARASAN Chip Systems for Actel AGL600-FG256 low-
power IGLOO FPGA. The Actel IGLOO family of reprogrammable, full-
featured flash FPGAs is designed to meet the demanding power and
area requirements of today's portable electronics. Based on the Actel
nonvolatile flash technology and single-chip ProASIC®3 FPGA archi-
tecture, the 1.2 V / 1.5 V operating voltage family offers the industry's
lowest power consumption - as low as 5 µW.

The storage daughter board interfaces with Marvell's PXA300/310
processor through the data flash interface (DFI). Arasan SD2.0/
MMC4.2/CE-ATA Host IP core in the Actel IGLOO device provides a
low-cost and low-power solution.
The Arasan SD2.0/MMC4.2/CE-ATA (CE-ATA 2) Host Controller core
consists of the SD 2.0, SDIO 2.0, MMC4.2, and CE-ATA 1.1 controllers.
The Arasan CE-ATA 2 Host is fully compliant with the SD Host specifi-
cation version 2.0 with Advanced-DMA support, MMC specification
version 4.2, and CE-ATA Digital Protocol revision 1.1RC. It supports SPI,
SD 1-bit, SD 4-bit, and MMC 8-bit modes. The CE-ATA 2 Host core is
designed to support high-speed and full-speed SD data transfers. In
application with an AHB interface, the Arasan CE-ATA 2 Host core
communicates with the ARM® processor at a clock speed up to 300
MHz. The CE-ATA 2 Host controller includes a DMA controller and a
FIFO that is expandable from a minimum size of 4 x 32-bit. An
optional CPRM functional block can be incorporated to perform a
Cipher algorithm for encryption and decryption.
