Planning has begun for integration of 34nm Flash Chips into USB Products
Late last month Micron Technologies announced the mass production of new 16GB and 32GB NAND Flash chips using 34nm Process Technology. The new Flash chips are 17% smaller than the previous standard of chips but are able to hold more data. The 34nm Flash chips also feature an ONFI 2.1 synchronous interface which will yield transfer speeds of up to 200 megabytes per second (MB/s) says Micron Technologies. The new transfer rate of the synchronous interface blows the old standard out of the water which is a mere 40 megabytes per second (MB/s) for SLC NAND Flash.
The new chips are MLC (Multi Level Cell) which are less used in our in our devices due to higher potential for errors and data loss. Fortunately Micron Technologies is already sampling SLC (Single Level Cell) chips featuring the 34nm Process technology. Final testing for the SLC devices should be completed within a few months based on the companies history.
You may be asking yourself "Well what is so great about all this". The new chips will allow us to deliver USB Flash devices with greater transfer speeds smaller size and more storage space. A better product will insure your potential clients hang onto your swag bringing us closer to perpetual marketing.
Having wasted no time we are already planning to integrate the new technology with out Customized USB Products. In anticipation for the new chips we have designed a few new Ultra Small models which will feature the new chips.
Although we are diligent in integrated the new chips into our products final production models can still be months out.
We will keep you informed.
