New turnkey controller solutions offer the broadest range of
performance, cost and form factor for consumer and
industrial/embedded applications
MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 8, 2017 /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 announced the availability of
the industry's broadest portfolio of merchant turnkey SSD (solid
state disk) controller solutions, including the new ultra-high
speed SM2262EN and SM2262 for client, the SM2263 for mainstream and
the SM2263XT DRAM-less controller, which supports the BGA form
factor.
With the new SM2262 and SM2263 series, Silicon Motion provides
PCIe G3 x 4 Lanes NVMe 1.3 controllers while supporting the latest
3D NAND from the main flash manufacturers. The SM2262EN, an
ultra-high performance SSD controller solution, delivers peak
sequential read and write transfer speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s and
3,000 MB/s, respectively, and random read and write IOPS of up to
370,000 and 300,000. The SM2263 is targeted at mainstream client
applications and features sequential read and write speeds of up to
2,400 MB/s and 1,700 MB/s respectively. The SM2263XT, a DRAM-less
controller solution, reduces BOM cost and form factor without
compromising performance while enabling 11.5mmx13mm BGA SSDs
ideally suited for 2-in-1 systems, chromebooks and mobile
devices.
"Demand for ultra-high performance and reliability is growing as
PCIe NVMe SSDs are becoming the standard across a wide range of
market sectors, from data centers and cloud services to small form
factor client devices and industrial, automotive applications,"
said Wallace C. Kou, President and
CEO of Silicon Motion. "Silicon Motion is leading the field in the
drive to create next-generation controller solutions that not only
meet today's needs, but will fulfil the requirements of the world's
leading technology manufacturers far into the future."
The expanded line-up of turnkey SSD controller solutions meets
the full range of market requirements, from high-end,
high-performance enterprise SSDs to compact SSDs embedded in
portable devices and robust SSDs for use in industrial and
automotive applications. These new SSD controllers from Silicon
Motion support the latest 3D NAND products from all the main NAND
Flash manufacturers and are supplied with a complete suite of SSD
controller firmware, providing customers with the assurance of a
rapid time to market with new SSD products. All the controller
solutions incorporate unique Silicon Motion technologies including
end-to-end data path protection, SRAM ECC (error correction code),
NANDXtend™ technology, and offer high performance with low power
consumption.
For Ultra high speed solutions: SM2262EN and SM2262 PCIe Gen3
x 4 Lanes NVMe 1.3 SSD controllers
The SM2262 series offers the ultimate performance for demanding
client applications. The SM2262 controllers are supplied with a
comprehensive suite of controller firmware for easy integration
into SSD product designs. With state-of-the-art low-power design,
the SM2262EN and SM2262 deliver ultra-low power consumption whether
in low power or active states.
Both the SM2262EN and SM2262 offer four lanes of 8Gb/s PCIe data
flow and eight NAND channels. The SM2262EN devices offer a
lightning-fast maximum sequential read speed of 3.5GB/s and
sequential write speed of 3.0GB/s.
For mainstream and small form factor high performance
solutions: SM2263 and SM2263XT PCIe Gen3 x 4 Lanes NVMe 1.3 SSD
controllers
Silicon Motion also meets the requirements of mainstream and
compact client SSDs with the new SM2263 and SM2263XT, which feature
four 8Gb/s lanes of PCIe traffic and four NAND channels, and are
supplied with a comprehensive suite of firmware.
The SM2263XT supports DRAM-less designs enabling SSD
manufacturers to produce compact 11.5mm x 13mm BGA SSDs at a lower
BoM cost, as well as supporting the Host Memory Buffer (HMB)
architecture. The DRAM-less SM2263XT maintains an impressive
2.4GB/s maximum sequential read speed, and a maximum 1.7GB/s
sequential write speed.
All the new SSD controllers are in volume production now. More
