Using NAND Flash Memory
High-density, low-power use, small footprint, and lowest semiconductor cost-per-megabyte make NAND the logical choice for the growing storage demands of handheld systems.
- Removable Storage (Flash cards, USB drives)
- Cell Phones
- MP3/4 Players
- Audio Recorders
- GPS Systems
- PDAs
- Digital Still Cameras
- Digital Video Cameras
- Video Handheld Devices
- Gaming Systems
NAND Flash provides increasingly portable, convenient patient monitoring by enabling weeks or even months of detailed information storage in a very rugged, compact, battery-friendly system.
- Personal Monitors
- Portable Equipment Monitors
The low pin count, simple interface, and high density of NAND Flash provide a natural migration path for many existing NOR Flash industrial applications. And NAND’s rugged shock and vibration specifications make it a clear favorite over sensitive mechanical mass storage devices.
- Barcode Scanners
- Data Collection Systems
- Robotic Inspection Systems
- Industrial/Ruggedized PCs
- Factory Equipment Code/Data Storage
The rapidly increasing density and cost reductions of NAND Flash make it a promising supplement or even replacement for the hard disk drive in many portable computer platforms. NAND disks improve performance and reliability while stretching precious battery life.
