Storage leader to collaborate in establishing NAND flash standard
interface MILPITAS, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI
Corporation (NYSE:LSI) today announced that it has joined the Open
NAND Flash Interface (ONFi) Working Group, an organization of
industry-leading companies dedicated to simplifying the integration
of NAND flash memory into consumer electronics devices, computing
platforms and industrial systems. "As a leading provider of
integrated circuits for hard disk drive manufacturers and disk
storage systems and software for the world's leading server OEMs,
LSI is able to contribute end-to-end silicon, software and systems
expertise to the ONFi initiative," said Phil Brace, senior vice
president, Corporate Planning and Marketing, LSI. "Our position in
the market gives us a unique opportunity to help shape the industry
and capitalize on this emerging market opportunity in the future."
LSI joins more than 70 member companies participating in the ONFi
initiative. Together, the companies will work to develop a
standardized NAND flash interface that allows interoperability
between NAND devices. "We're pleased to welcome LSI to the ONFi
Working Group," said Knut Grimsrud, ONFi chairman and Intel Fellow.
"We look forward to the contribution LSI can provide through the
company's breadth of expertise ranging from silicon to systems."
The ONFi Working Group was formed in 2006. Before the advancements
made by the working group, use of NAND flash in end user
applications was hampered by the lack of sufficient
standardization. To support a new NAND flash component on a
platform, host software, firmware and/or hardware changes were
often required. Implementing these changes was extremely costly due
to the new testing cycle required, which led to slower rates of
adoption for new NAND flash components. ONFi aims to remedy this
problem and speed time-to-market for NAND flash-based applications.
