It seems we are always speaking of SSDs in one shape or another but we fall short of just how vast this market is. Single chip designs are never spoken of and , well many may not be aware, but there is a perfect example of this in every cell phone on the planet. Today, KIOXIA has announced sampling of their latest Universal Flash Storage Ver 4.1 embedded memory device for automotive applications.
This single chip design about the size of a quarter and contains a controller along with KIOXIA’s latest 8th Gen BiCS 3D NAND flash memory to provide significant speed, flexibility and diagnostics enhancements to automotive digital systems. It is available in 128, 256, 512GB and 1TB capacities and is designed to fit the needs of infotainment, ADAS3, telematics, domain controllers, and vehicle computers.
In comparison to the previous UFS Gen 3.1, the new UFS 4.1 delivers:
