Micron Technology is the first company to sample an 8 gigabit (Gb) single-level cell (SLC) high speed NAND product. It can read data at speeds up to 200 megabytes per second (MB/s) and can write data at speeds up to 100 MB/s, achieved by leveraging the new ONFI 2.0 specification and a four plane architecture with higher clock speeds. In comparison, the conventional SLC NAND is limited to 40 MB/s for reading data and less than 20 MB/s for writing data.
Bill Lauer, senior director of marketing for Micron's memory group said, "As consumer electronic and computing devices continue to move to silicon for storage, it is essential that we improve how data is accessed and transferred in NAND. With the new capabilities designed into NAND, the performance benefits will be visible to the consumer, allowing them to experience a faster way of transferring digital content between devices such as computers, digital cameras, MP3 players and cell phones."
Designed on the 50-nanometer process node, Micron's 8 Gb SLC high speed NAND component is sampling now to major OEMs and controller manufacturers with mass production expected to commence in the second half of 2008.
In comparison, the conventional SLC NAND is limited to 40 MB/s for reading data and less than 20 MB/s for writing data. The company also expects to unveil future ONFI 2.0-derived NAND products in the next year.
