Samsung Electronics shipped over 100 million OneNAND flash units in 2006
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd has announced that it produced 117 million units in 512 megabit (Mb) equivalents of its OneNAND Flash fusion memory in 2006, a 130 percent increase in production volume from 2005.
"By offering much higher performance and significantly lower overall cost than conventional memory solutions, we have tapped into very strong and growing customer demand," said John R. Cerrato, Vice President, Global Accounts Sales, Samsung Semiconductor, Inc.
The device uses a fusion memory chip, a single-level-cell NAND core with SRAM and logic elements to emulate a NOR Flash interface. First targeted at the handset market, OneNAND has also been specified in a wide range of embedded applications including digital still cameras, hybrid hard drives and set-top boxes for HDTV.
