MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI
Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced that its TrueStore hard
disk drive (HDD) storage ICs are integrated into the industry's
recently announced 3.5-inch hard drives featuring one terabyte of
storage capacity per disk platter, the new capacity benchmark for a
single disk.
The new 1TB/platter 3.5-inch desktop drives incorporate LSI
TrueStore system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, including 40nm read
channels featuring second-generation low-density parity check
(LDPC) iterative decoding technology. The new 1TB/platter drives
also integrate high-performance, low-power LSI TrueStore
preamplifiers, creating a complete data path solution from a single
supplier.
The LSI storage ICs also feature new innovations in flying
height sensing and control that help HDD manufacturers lower head
fly heights for increased bit density, drive performance and
reliability.
"HDD manufacturers rely on LSI to deliver world-class storage IC
technologies that drive next-generation areal density improvements
and raise the bar for HDD capacity, power and performance," said
Phil Brace, senior vice president
and general manager, Storage Peripherals Division, LSI. "Helping
our HDD OEM customers break the 1TB areal density barrier is key to
meeting the storage demands driven by the worldwide explosion of
digital content and cloud-based datacenters."
The LSI TrueStore storage IC product portfolio provides a
complete head-to-host recording system design, including
preamplifiers, read channels, serial PHYs and ARM® core
processor IP. By optimizing the entire system data path, the
TrueStore family enables HDD makers to continually develop
higher-capacity products with increased performance and lower
overall power usage, while enabling faster time-to-volume and lower
costs.
By offering a broad portfolio of SoC and preamplifier solutions,
LSI enables its HDD customers to address all segments of the
storage market, from mission-critical enterprise applications and
high-capacity desktop PCs to low-power laptops and tape archive
solutions.
