File Title and Description sort Last Update sort
pdf The Future of Memory Storage Apr 2007
pdf Introduction to Flash Memory - Covers the basics of NAND Flash--from demonstrating the power, density, and cost advantages of NAND, to addressing data reliability and the interface challenges that designers will face and how to overcome them. Aug 2008
pdf Flash Memory Direction - Provides details about the NAND Flash benefits for a range of drives and concludes with a technical discussion about the various NAND Flash categories May 2007
pdf Accommodating Solid State Storage in Your Favorite OS - A detailed look at how the current operating systems present data to storage devices and how this impacts the way a NAND flash based SSD must manage the data internally. Aug 2009
pdf NAND Reliability Presentation - Discusses how shrinking NAND Flash geometrics require software adjustments to ensure hardware reliability and offers suggestions for managing this Jul 2007
pdf ONFI Update: Tastes Great, Less Filling - An update on the Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFi) and specifically the enhancements to the new 2.1 specification. Aug 2009
pdf 3Bit Per Cell NAND Flash - 3 BPC NAND FLASH can provide a lower cost solution for applications vs. SLC and MLC solutions, but there are tradeoffs for the cost savings. The tradeoffs include possible reduced performance, lower endurance along with reliability concerns and increased ECC requirements. This presentation discusses applications and system requirements for 3BPC NAND FLASH use. Aug 2009
pdf Inconvenient Truths of NAND Presentation - Addresses the few design challenges that need to be accounted for and provides techniques for achieving design-in success Jul 2007
pdf Optimizing NAND Flash Performance - Discusses looking beyond the array access times of a NAND Flash device to achieve the greatest throughput. Aug 2008
pdf ONFI Standards and What They Mean to Designers - Discusses how the ONFI standard simplifies system-level firmware and software to help you reduce host design and test time. Also explains the significance of certain ONFI-specific commands. Aug 2008
pdf Improving Power Budgeting Estimates in NAND Applications - Current NAND Flash ICC specifications do not give an accurate representation of active system power. This presentation shows a better approach to measuring ICC that provides better predictability in the system of how much current devices will draw. Aug 2009
pdf Endurance Requirements for Next-Generation SLC NAND in Mobile Systems - Employs a typical NAND usage model of a mobile application to determine the actual endurance requirement of a NAND Flash device. Aug 2008
pdf 3BPC and 4BPC NAND Flash Power Requirements - 3 BPC and 4BPC NAND FLASH can provide a lower cost solution for applications vs. SLC and MLC solutions. One of the perceived tradeoffs for the cost savings is increased power consumption. Does increased power consumption really exist and if it does what is the magnitude of increase in comparison to SLC and MLC solutions as well as HDDs? This presentation discusses power consumption topics using 3BPC and 4BPC NAND Flash. Aug 2009
pdf NAND Flash Architecture and Specification Trends - As NAND Flash continues to shrink, page sizes, block sizes, and ECC requirements are increasing while data retention, endurance, and performance are decreasing. These changes impact systems including random write performance and more. Learn how to prepare for these changes and counteract some of them through improved block management techniques and system design. This presentation also discusses some of the tradeoff myths – for example, the myth that you can directly trade ECC for endurance. Aug 2009
pdf NAND Flash Considerations for Consumer Applications - The requirements for NAND Flash in consumer devices are highly dependent on application use conditions including typical file sizes, frequency of file updates, total and available device capacity, and required life. This presentation will discuss the resulting NAND Flash requirements, such as NAND endurance, data retention, and ECC requirements, in relation to various end-system usage scenarios. Aug 2009
