Microsemi Delivers Complete, Space-saving SATA Storage Systems for Secure Defence and Aerospace Applications

Advanced security features include AES-128 encryption, self-destruct capability and whole-module erase with push-button trigger option, which are essential for mission-critical defense and aerospace applications, ruggedised mobile systems, surveillance, avionics, navigation and ruggedised portable storage solutions.



Our ability to miniaturize microelectronics systems has proven to be a key advantage in defense applications where SWaP solutions are critical, said Jack Bogdanski, director of marketing for Microsemi. Offering a complete solid state storage system in a compact module allows designers to add more features to their systems, while supporting key security features that are increasingly important to our defense and aerospace customers.



The BGA package, available in 37 and 75 GB densities, combines a SATA flash controller with the latest in small geometry single line cell (SLC) NAND flash. The device includes a single supply with extended hold-up time without super caps or batteries. The BGA saves up to 60 percent board space when compared with a similar PCB design.
