According to reports, the latest BiCS 3D flash memory adopts an improved architecture to achieve more stable sequential write performance. The time from idle to auto-sleep has been reduced from the current 200ms to 2ms, a difference of approximately 100 times, further extending battery life and enabling faster performance.
As an industry-leading supplier of consumer applications/mobile storage products, Kioxia has been actively supporting e-MMC solutions since 2007 and became a UFS supplier in early 2013.
The new mid-range capacity product released this time not only provides 64/128GB capacity options but also integrates flash memory + main control in a single package.
The following are the main features of the new consumer-grade e-MMC based on the latest generation BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory:
- Improve the architecture, reduce internal write amplification, and achieve more stable continuous write performance.
- Pre-programmed user data for higher reliability before customer manufacturing process/send reflow.
- The time from idle to automatic sleep is reduced by 100×6 compared with the previous generation, which helps to prolong battery life.
- Achieve faster performance by accessing multiple dies within the device.
- Supports the JEDEC eMMC 5.1 standards (HS400) for faster interface rates.
