Ferri-eMMC™ is designed for a wide range of embedded
applications and is fully compliant with JEDEC-standard eMMC 4.5
protocol. With a 100-ball 1.0mm pitch BGA package, Ferri-eMMC™
provides for more flexible PCB design and low-cost manufacturing.
Ferri-eMMC™ delivers market leading data integrity and protection
capabilities featuring Silicon Motion's advanced NAND management
technologies including error correction, bad block management and
NAND health monitoring. New Ferri-eMMC™ parts:
- SM667 for high reliability applications that require up to 30K
Program/Erase (P/E) cycles
- SM661 for cost effective systems with less stringent endurance
requirements
Silicon Motion's latest FerriSSD® products are single-package
SATA 6Gb/s SSDs that feature embedded DRAM to enhance data storage
efficiency and increase performance. These highly integrated
solutions embed Silicon Motion's NAND flash controller, industry
standard NAND flash memory and DRAM in a small 90-ball, 1.0mm pitch
BGA package (16x20x2mm). The embedded DRAM extends the SSD
life and delivers best-in-class performance of up to 80,000 random
IOPs. These solutions also leverage advanced Silicon Motion
technologies including PowerShield, DataPhoenix, Intelligent Scan
& DataRefresh, SSDLifeGuard® health-monitoring, remote firmware
update, and other patented proprietary features. New FerriSSD®
parts:
- SM659 for high reliability applications that require up to 30K
Program/Erase (P/E) cycles
- SM619 for cost effective systems with less stringent endurance
requirements
"We are very excited to add new Ferri-eMMC™ and SATA 6Gb/s
FerriSSD® products to our successful portfolio of Ferri solutions.
With our expanded product range, we are better able to bring
industrial-grade and commercial-grade, single-package SSD solutions
to an increasingly wide range of embedded applications, such as
server, thin client, POS, office automation, HMI devices, factory
automation, gaming, medical equipment, surveillance and in-vehicle
infotainment that require eMMC 4.5 or faster SATA 3.1 performance,"
said Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon
Motion. "Industrial and commercial devices that require
instant boot-up and reduced operating system and software load time
benefit from our highly reliable, high endurance, compact
single-package SSDs."
