Embedded NAND flash memory module is UFS Ver. 2.0 compliant

The modules achieve ultra-high read/write performance with read speeds reaching 650MB/s and write speeds reaching 180MB/s. The faster transfer speeds can shorten the time taken to launch many kinds of applications, shoot digital still images, and play and download large data movie and music files on mobile products like smartphones or tablets.

The modules are sealed in a small 153 ball FBGA package measuring just 11.5x13.0x1.0mm for the 32GB die and 11.5x13.0x1.2mm for the 64GB die and have a signal layout compliant with JEDEC UFS Ver.2.0. The modules operate over a temperature range from -25 to +85°C and support memory core voltages of 2.7-3.6V.

Demand continues to grow for large density, high-performance chips that support high resolution video, driven by improved data-processing speeds in host chipsets and wider bandwidths for wireless connectivity in a wide range of digital consumer products, including smartphones and tablet PCs.

The JEDECUFSVer.2.0 compliant interface handles essential functions, including writing block management, error correction and driver software. It simplifies system development, allowing manufacturers to minimize development costs and speed up time to market for new and upgraded products.

Toshiba has proved itself an innovator in this key area, and is now reinforcing its leadership by being first in the industry to deliver samples with a high performance UFS module. Toshiba will schedule mass production and add other densities to the line-up in response to market demand.
