Understanding the Underlying Principles of NAND Flash

Storage Principles of NAND Flash The basic architecture of the smallest unit in solid-state drives is as follows: We know that all information storage in computers ultimately must return to 0 and 1. In principle, as long as the storage unit can provide two or more distinguishable states, it can be used to record data. … Read more

Partition Storage Enables QLC Applications in Embedded Storage Devices

Partition Storage Enables QLC Applications in Embedded Storage Devices

Background Currently, the mainstream media in embedded storage devices used in mobile terminals (here mainly referring to UFS/eMMC, collectively referred to as “embedded storage devices”) is still TLC. However, the higher storage density of QLC has already been productized, for example, some data centers (read-intensive applications) have already deployed QLC storage devices. QLC can bring … Read more

Flash Memory Technology Overview

Flash Memory Technology Overview

Source: Semi Connect Author: Belle Flash Memory, also known as Flash, is a type of non-volatile memory that represents data using the threshold levels of storage cells. The main technology used in Flash memory cells is the Floating Gate field-effect transistor (see Figure 5-80). The charge on the floating gate determines the threshold of the … Read more
