Silicon Motion to Showcase New SATA-II/III SSD Controllers

Silicon Motion Technology Corporation
will be presenting at the upcoming Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara,
CA from August 21 to 23 and will be introducing several new products at
the event.

These new products include:

• the company’s latest generation FerriSSD, a single-package SSD;
• SM2244LT, the world’s smallest SATA II SSD controller that incorporates AES128/256; and
• SM2246, a high-performance controller with SATA III interface that is
  targeted at client SSDs and NAND-cache solutions used in PCs.  

Jeff Yang, principal engineer of Silicon Motion’s Algorithm and Technology team, will be speaking about Novel ECC Architecture Enhances Embedded Storage System Reliability at the Flash Memory Summit, as part of the Tutorial (E-22) on Controllers and Flash Technology: Decoding the Future.
In his presentation, Jeff will discuss the future trend of MLC and TLC
NAND flash and new ECC architectures that can be used to improve the
performance of MLC and TLC NAND flash. These new ECC architectures use
several types of advanced data recovery methods that can be embedded
within a controller to overcome noise problems and extend device
endurance and data retention, offering the greatest flexibility for
future generations of NAND flash.

Products to be introduced by the company at Flash Memory Summit include:
FerriSSD FerriSSD is an advanced BGA SSD with standard SATA/PATA
interface. The second generation FerriSSD embeds proprietary XtendPE
technology for enhanced reliability, encryption security and low power
consumption. Available in 1GB to 64GB density, FerriSSD exceeds the
rigorous temperature and environmental requirements and is the storage
solution for industrial applications.

SM2244LT
It is a SATAII SSD controller and is an embedded controller solution for
embedded systems, industrial SATA DOMs, CFast cards and low-cost SATA
storage for mobile devices. It supports high-speed synchronous mode
NAND, including Toggle mode 1.0 and ONFi 2.x interface, does not require
the use of external DRAM and enables device makers to use either MLC or
lower cost TLC NAND flash. SM2244LT is a performing, low-cost SATAII
controllers delivering reliability, performance and low power
consumption.

SM2246
It is a high-performance SATA III SSD controller suited for both client
SSDs as well as NAND-cache drives used in low-cost,
performance-enhancing hybrid storage solutions for PCs, ultrabooks and
tablets. It supports advanced high-speed synchronous mode NAND,
including Toggle 2.0 and ONFi 3.0, and the latest generation NAND flash
for low-cost SSD solutions. In addition, it is AES 128/256 and Trusted
Computing Group (TCG) Opal full-drive encryption compliant. SM2246
samples will be available in 4Q 2012.

Silicon Motion has been a sponsor of Flash Memory Summit for three
consecutive years and will be presenting at this conference for the
fifth consecutive year.
