TAIPEI and MILPITAS,
Calif., Oct. 20, 2020
/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 a new portfolio of PCIe 4.0 NVMe 1.4 controller
solutions to address performance, mainstream and value SSD
applications. The portfolio consists of SM2264 for
performance, SM2267 for mainstream and SM2267XT for value DRAM-less
client SSDs.
Silicon Motion's latest controller family has been designed from
the ground up with PCIe Gen4 technology and innovative hardware
features especially optimized for true Gen4 performance at low
power consumption, advanced error correction as well as data path
and EMI protections. To date, ten of the leading global NAND makers
and SSD OEMs have selected Silicon Motion's Gen 4 controllers with
3D TLC and QLC NAND technologies.
Don Jeanette, Vice President of
TrendFocus, commented, "Silicon Motion has long been known as a
leader in SSD controller technology. The company's new product
introductions are well timed as Gen 4 continues to gain traction
and will become the standard over the next few years for PCs, game
consoles and other client devices."
"PCIe Gen4 brings the next level of performance for SSDs to the
market," said Wallace Kou, President
and CEO of Silicon Motion. "With today's announcement, Silicon
Motion's complete line-up of PCIe 4.0 SSD controller solutions
meets the requirements of the world's top PC OEM and SSD
manufacturers into the future. Already, our new PCIe Gen4
controllers have been designed into SSDs from leading OEM customers
and SM2267 has started volume production."
For Performance and Automotive PCIe Gen 4 Solutions: SM2264
Gen4 x 4 Lanes, 8 NAND Channel SSD Controllers
Targeted at performance and automotive SSDs, SM2264 features a
quad-core ARM R8 CPU with four lanes of 16Gb/s PCIe data flow and
supports eight NAND channels with up to 1,600 MT/s per channel. Its advanced
architecture, based on 12nm process technology, enables high
throughput, lower power consumption, and rigorous data protection
while delivering ultra-high speed of sequential read/write
performance of up to 7,400/6,800 MBs and random read/write speeds
of up to 1,000K IOPs. The quad
core ARM R8 CPU offers high multithreaded performance to handle
mixed workload operations required by emerging storage
applications. SM2264 is designed with Silicon Motion's
state-of-the-art 7th generation NANDXtend™ ECC technology with a
performance-optimized 4KB LDPC engine and RAID to maximized error
correction capability for the latest and next generation 3D TLC and
QLC NAND. SM2264 is also ideal for automotive storage, offering
built-in SR-IOV capability that provides direct, high-speed PCIe
interface for supporting to up to eight Virtual
Machines. SM2264 is currently sampling to leading
customers.
For Mainstream and Value PCIe Gen 4 SSD Solutions: SM2267 Gen
4x4 Lanes, 4 NAND Channel and SM2267XT Gen4x4 Lanes, 4 NAND
Channels, DRAM-less
Silicon Motion's SM2267 and SM2267XT meet the requirements
of mainstream and value client SSDs and feature four 16Gb/s lanes
of PCIe and four NAND channels with up to 1,200 MT/s per channel, delivering an impressive
3,900/3,500 MB/s sequential
read/write performance. SM2267 includes a DRAM interface
while the SM2267XT DRAM-less controller enables small form factor
SSDs without compromising performance. Both also include
NANDXtend™ ECC technology and support the latest TLC and QLC
NAND. SM2267 and SM2267XT have entered volume production.
