UFS – A Vital Element of Next Generation Connected Cars


KIOXIA also offers Universal Flash Storage (UFS) memories that are specifically intended for automotive use. UFS devices combine a high-capacity NAND Flash reserve plus an accompanying controller IC in a single package. Among the places that they will be applicable are within infotainment, wireless communication and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) implementations. Supplied in compact packages with standardised interfaces that facilitate their integration, these devices support much faster read/write speeds than competing data storage solutions.

 

Key features of KIOXIA’s automotive UFS include:

  • AEC-Q100 qualified High-speed serial interface
  • Ultra-reliable, robust technology (based on 15nm NAND and BiCS FLASH™ 3D topologies)
  • Integrated memory management:
    • ECC mechanisms
    • Bad block management
    • Wear levelling
    • Garbage collection
  • Automotive specific functions (including built-in diagnostics, refresh, thermal throttling, pre-programming, etc.)
  • Power management functions to conserve electricity consumption
  • Compliant with IATF16949
  • Wide operating temperature range: -40°C to +105°C
