TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Motion
Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO) ("Silicon Motion"), a
global leader in designing and marketing NAND flash controllers for
solid state storage devices, today introduced SM2258, the world's
first turnkey merchant ASIC/firmware SATA 6Gb/s SSD controller
solution supporting the latest 3D TLC NAND from all the major NAND
suppliers. The SM2258 turnkey controller solution is designed
specifically to meet the unique demands of managing 3D TLC NAND for
client SSDs, offering high capacity with best-in-class performance,
ultra-low power consumption and extended durability and data
retention. The new SM2258 solution will accelerate the
adoption of a new class of cost-competitive, high-capacity and
high-performance 3D TLC-based SSDs in the market.
Silicon Motion's customizable turnkey controller solution is
enabling SSD OEMs to use the latest generation, most cost-effective
3D TLC NAND flash to quickly bring to market differentiated SSD
solutions that will accelerate SSD adoption. The SM2258
controller employs the company's proprietary NANDXtend™
technology consisting of LDPC hard and soft decoding as well as
RAID protection that together triple the P/E cycles of 3D TLC NAND
- extending the SSD lifespan and ensuring data integrity.
SM2258 also features advanced Direct-to-TLC and SLC
Caching algorithms for optimal sustained performance with TLC
NAND.
"NAND vendors are readying for the transition to 3D TLC
NAND that will improve affordability and accelerate adoption of
SSDs," said Wallace Kou, President
and CEO of Silicon Motion. "As the NAND controller market leader,
our new SM2258 customizable turnkey controller solution will enable
our partners to rapidly bring to market a new generation of
low-cost 3D TLC-based SSDs with uncompromising performance and
capacity to drive even faster displacement of HDDs in a wide
variety of end-markets and applications."
"As 3D NAND approaches half of client SSD petabytes going into
next year, advanced SSD controllers enabling low cost, high
performance 3D TLC NAND-based solutions are critical for this
transition," said Gregory Wong,
Founder and Principal Analyst of Forward Insights.
Silicon Motion's SM2258 provides a complete customizable
hardware and firmware turnkey SSD controller solution with industry
leading capabilities and technologies, including:
- Supports 2D/3D MLC and TLC NAND Flash from all the major NAND
Flash vendors
- Ultra-high sequential read performance of up to 560MB/s and
sequential write of up to 520MB/s*
- Up to 90,000 random read IOPS* and up to 80,000 random write
IOPS*
- Proprietary NANDXtend error-correcting and data protection
technology to triple the P/E cycles for 2D/3D TLC SSD devices
- Direct-to-TLC, Dynamic SLC Cache as well as
Static SLC Cache algorithms for optimal sustained read and
write performance
- Support for ONFI 3.0, Toggle 2.0 and asynchronous NAND
- The latest security protocols, including AES 256, Trusted
Computing Group (TCG) and Opal full-drive encryption compliant
- Ideal suitability for client SSDs targeting ultrabooks,
laptops, tablets and HDD replacement
- Support for both commercial (0°C to 70°C) and industrial grade
(-40°C to 85°C) requirements
*with IMFT 3D TLC NAND
The SM2258 SSD controller solution with 3D TLC NAND support is
available today.
The SM2258 solution with IMFT 3D TLC NAND will be demonstrated
at 2016 Computex Taipei in room 1028 of the Grand Hyatt Taipei
hotel.
