Ultra DMA
(Or "Ultra DMA", "UDMA", "Ultra-ATA", "Ultra-DMA/33") A
development of the Advanced Technology Attachment specifications
which gives nearly twice the maximum transfer rate of the ATA-3
standard (PIO Mode 4).
ATA-4 Extensions Ultra DMA/33 Synchronous DMA Mode maximum burst
transfer rates:
Mode Cycle Time Transfer Rate
ns MB/s
0 235 16
1 160 24
2 120 33
This is achieved by improving timing windows in the protocol
on the ATA interface; reducing propagation delays by
pipelining data transfers and transferring data in
synchronous (strobed) mode.
Developed by Quantum Corporation, ATA-4 has been freely
licensed to manufacturers and is supported by Intel
Corporation.
