Non-volatile Flash targets next-gen wearable devices
Featuring power consumption claimed to be 60% lower than traditional devices, a family of wide-voltage, ultra-low-power NOR Flash memory products has been introduced by Macronix. The MX25R devices operate from a 1.7-3.6V range in ultra-small packages, making them suitable for wearable devices.
The MX25R series is available in sizes from 512Kb to 64Mb and 8-SOP, 8-WSON, 8-USON, WLCSP and KGD packages.
Mr. Min-Cheng Lin, Deputy Director, Marketing, Macronix, comments: “Low power consumption and small form-factor designs will be key factors in consumer acceptance of wearable devices. We see next-generation memory advancing in three ways: standardised interfaces that will ease the process of importing data; smaller, lighter and slimmer form factors; and power supply design focused on ultra-low voltage and energy consumption.”
Market research firm IDC, sees surging growth for the wearables market, with shipments estimated to exceed 112m units with a CAGR of 78.4% by 2018.
