Introduced for solid-state storage in consumer, industrial, and networking applications Alliance Memory´s new industrial-grade 3D pSLC eMMCs offer 30,000 program/erase cycles in a single 11.5 mm by 13 mm by 1 mm 153-ball FBGA package.
The »5GB ASFC5G31P3-51BIN« and »10GB ASFC10G31P3-51BIN« integrate high-reliability 3D pSLC NAND flash memory with an eMMC controller and flash transition layer (FTL) management software.
»These lower-density devices offer higher reliability and endurance than MLC and TLC NAND solutions while delivering the same ease of integration and space savings«, says David Bagby, president and CEO, Alliance Memory.
They are compliant with the JEDEC eMMC v5.1 industry standard, supporting features such as boot operation, replay protected memory block (RPMB), device health report, field firmware updates, power-off notification, enhanced strobe features for faster and more reliable operation, write leveling, high-priority interrupt (HPI), secure trim/erase, and high-speed HS200 and HS400 modes. The »ASFC5G31P3-51BIN« and »ASFC10G31P3-51BIN« are also backwards-compatible with eMMC v4.5 and v5.0.
Featuring a 32MB boot partition, the eMMCs will be used in products such as smart watches, tablets, digital TVs, set-top boxes, VR and AR headsets, digital cameras, CCTV, infotainment, surveillance, automation, point-of-sale systems, and emerging embedded applications. For designers, the »ASFC5G31P3-51BIN« and »ASFC10G31P3-51BIN« simplify designs for fast and easy system integration in these products, speeding up product development and time to market while saving space by eliminating the need for an external controller. In addition, the device's FTL software provides high reliability and stable performance with wear levelling and bad block management.
The »ASFC5G31P3-51BIN« and »ASFC10G31P3-51BIN« operate over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and offer programmable bus widths of x1, x4, and x8. The devices' NAND memory with internal LDO can be powered with a single 3 V supply voltage, while the controller can be powered by 1.8 V or 3 V dual supply voltages.
Samples of the eMMCs are available now, production quantities with lead times of eight weeks.
