Silicon Motion Introduces World's First Single-Chip USB3.0 Solution Supporting "Windows To Go"
January 29 2013 - 6:00AM
Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (Nasdaq:SIMO) ("Silicon
Motion" or the "Company"), a global leader in designing and
marketing NAND flash controllers for solid state storage devices,
today introduces its new, high performance, single-channel, USB3.0
flash drive controller, the SM3261. SM3261 is the world's first
single-chip USB3.0 controller supporting Windows To Go, an
enterprise feature of Windows 8 that enables the creation of a
Windows To Go workspace which can be booted from a USB flash drive
on any PC running Windows 7 or Windows 8.
"We are very excited about the introduction of SM3261," said
Wallace Kou, President and CEO of Silicon Motion. "SM3261 is a high
performance, single-channel, USB3.0 solution with high data
transfer rates of up to 100MB/s read and 50MB/s write. SM3261 is
the only single-chip controller that offers a small form factor and
is able to deliver cost-effective solutions for our customers,
supporting the latest generation NAND flash from all the major
flash vendors. The performance and cost leadership that SM3261
encompasses will strengthen Silicon Motion's strong technology and
market share leadership in the USB flash drive market."
"We are pleased to have secured several design wins for SM3261
with flash drive OEMs, including most of the tier-one OEMs. Flash
drives using our SM3261 will be available in the first quarter of
2013, including some that have already been announced at the 2013
International CES by leading US brands."
SM3261 leads the industry in capabilities supporting the vast
majority of NAND flash, including 2x/2y/1x nm MLC, TLC and high
speed Toggle and ONFI DDR NAND manufactured by Samsung, Toshiba,
SanDisk, SK Hynix, Micron or Intel. For flash drive applications,
SM3261supports high capacity by managing up to 4 NAND flash dies
with write protection, PC boot-up, password protection, and secure
partition. The SM3261 controller is available in a 48-pin QFN green
package with manufacturing-ready turnkey solutions and fits the
mainstream size of USB2.0 flash drive module board, 14mm x 33mm,
for 2-TSOP or COB solutions.
