Toshiba ships first ever embedded NAND flash modules

News


Toshiba Corporation has started sample shipments of a 64-gigabyte (GB) embedded NAND flash memory module.

The firm says these are the first in the industry equipped with a UFS I/F. 

UFS stands for Universal Flash Storage.

Toshiba says the evolution from eMMC to UFS offers significant benefits in terms of performance and low power consumption for end users. The firm says UFS enables a better user-experience by maximising the steadily increasing performances of mobile devices, including multi-threading processors. 

The module is fully compliant with the JEDEC UFS Ver.1.1 standard and is designed for application in a wide range of digital consumer products, including smartphones and tablet PCs.

Samples are mainly intended for evaluation of UFS I/F and its protocol in host chipsets and by OS vendors.

Demand continues to grow for large density, high-performance chips that support high resolution video, driven by improved data-processing speeds in host chipsets and wider bandwidths for wireless connectivity.

Toshiba says it is the first firm in industry to support samples with a 64GB UFS module.

The firm will schedule mass-production and other densities in its line-up according to market demand.

The JEDEC UFS Ver.1.1 compliant interface handles essential functions, including writing block management, error correction and driver software.

It simplifies system development, allowing manufacturers to minimise development costs and speed up time to market for new and upgraded products.

UFS I/F has a serial I/F and has the scalability in the number of lanes and speed.

The new products are sealed in a small FBGA package, 12 x 16 x 1.2mm, and have a signal layout compliant with JEDEC UFS Ver.1.1.
