Simplify High-Capacity Storage for Mobile and Embedded Systems
In order to meet the demand for higher densities, designers find themselves pressing wireless processors to support multiple-level cell (MLC) NAND Flash. Micron’s Managed NAND technology can help reduce the challenges—including increasing error correction code (ECC) requirements—sometimes associated with MLC NAND Flash devices.
Download our Managed NAND white paper to learn how Managed NAND simplifies high-capacity storage issues, how it capitalizes on MLC strengths and, at the same time, improves overall system-level performance.

Micron’s Managed NAND Flash combines our high-quality, low-cost NAND Flash memory with a high-speed MultiMediaCard (MMC) controller in a low-profile BGA package. Managed NAND essentially transforms a program/erase/read device with bad blocks and bad bits (NAND) into a simple write/read memory. This managed interface addresses potential NAND design concerns internally, using error correction code (ECC), wear leveling, and bad block management technology. Handling errors internally takes the burden off the host controller and increases speed, providing higher system performance.
Managed NAND also simplifies hardware and software integration by providing a standard interface specification that minimizes the need for host software to accommodate process node migrations and different vendors’ NAND Flash devices. It’s a consistent, technology-independent solution that streamlines the development and qualification process and alleviates complexities of designing in current and future NAND devices.
