Micron Introduces Industry's Best-in-Class SLC NAND Flash for IoT and Automotive
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New high-performance NAND Flash enables faster, more reliable, secure and cost-
effective data storage
BOISE, Idaho, July 07, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ:MU), today announced its newest embedded SLC NAND Flash optimized for
the next generation of Internet of Things (IoT) and automotive applications.
Available with differing interfaces to accommodate design, Micron's second
generation Serial (SPI) NAND and fifth generation parallel SLC NAND, offers the
industry's best-in-class reliability(1) and read and program performance, ease
of design and advanced security features.
Gartner projects that the IoT endpoint hardware and services market will rise to
a $3.5 trillion industry by 2020(2). As system designers seek embedded solutions
to power the performance for the connected home, wearables and the connected
car, the technical demands have raised the bar for the security and seamlessness
for ingredient semiconductor suppliers. Micron's newest SLC NAND addresses these
needs for high-performance storage technology to propel the market forward.
"Micron works closely with chipset partners and customers within the ecosystem
to design tomorrow's products that meet the complex NAND requirements fueled by
IoT and automotive," said Aravind Ramamoorthy, product line director of NAND
flash for Micron's Embedded Business Unit. "The new SLC NAND Flash technology
enable a new category of embedded applications that need reliable, high-
performance, low pin count and secure(4) memory for code and low density data
storage."
In order to simplify system design and speed time-to-market, Micron has engaged
with leading semiconductor and system designers, to ensure that Micron's newest
NAND Flash exceeds the data storage and memory needs for up-and-coming products.
Ecosystem Enablement for Partner Innovation
"Broadcom is committed to bringing the best features and cutting edge
technologies to our customers. We are delighted to see Micron launch Serial NAND
product offerings which provide our customers with a new cost-effective option
for high-density non-volatile memory," said Dr. John Liberati, associate
technical director, Broadcom Corporation.
"Design teams can reduce their time-to-market, design effort, and risk for
automotive and IoT SoC designs by utilizing Cadence's proven Quad SPI controller
and PHY IP solutions with Micron's latest SPI NAND devices," said Hugh Durdan,
vice president of product marketing for design IP at Cadence. "Cadence and
Micron have a long history of collaboration to provide customers with solutions
for emerging memory interface standards. The increased density of SPI NAND
devices is appealing to our mutual customers who need the faster data access
speeds and lower power consumption of NAND Flash interfaces enabled by the Quad
SPI standard."
SLC NAND Flash: High-Performance Storage for Connected Everything
Micron's newest SLC NAND offers several competitive technical advantages. For
drop-in compatibility in both legacy and new applications, new features and
enhancements include:
* Best-in-class reliability, program and read performance delivers optimal
data retention and fast boot with industry-leading 133Mhz SPI(3) interface
* Industry's first 2x nm NAND with best-in-class program and read performance
and best-in-class reliability (10 year uncycled data retention at 85°C and
100K P/E) for small form factor fanless designs and robust storage of
critical boot code in environments including automotive
* On-die error correction code (ECC) supported for both parallel NAND and SPI
interfaces
* Advanced security(4) features include permanent block locking and one time
programmable data (OTP) capability, ensure protection at the deepest level
of connected industrial, consumer, home and automotive applications
* Low pin count SPI NAND interface reduces cost while enabling cost-effective
code and data storage option in small form factors
1, 2, and 4 Gb densities are available in SPI and parallel NAND product
solutions.
