photo results | USB Drive Internals | The typical parts of a USB drive are: * A Male type-A USB connector - provides an interface to the host computer.
* A USB mass storage controller - implements the USB host controller and provides a linear interface to block-oriented serial flash devices while hiding the complexities of block-orientation, block erasure, and wear balancing, or wear levelling. The controller contains a small RISC microprocessor and a small amount of on-chip ROM and RAM.
* A memory chip - stores data. NAND flash is typically also used in digital cameras.
* A Crystal oscillator - produces the device's main 12 MHz clock signal and controls the device's data output through a phase-locked loop. | |
