Greenliant Producing High-Endurance Industrial Grade SATA NANDrive

Greenliant Systems, Ltd has begun volume production of 16GB and 32GB industrial grade SATA NANDrivewww.NANDrive.com embedded SSDs) using 1-bit-per-cell (SLC) NAND flash memory.

The GLS85LS1016P and GLS85LS1032P devices are ideal for long-life products that need high-endurance storage for user data and applications in a small, ball grid array (BGA) form factor.

The addition of GLS85LS1016P and GLS85LS1032P expands Greenliant’s industrial grade SATA NANDrive portfolio to offer customers a wide of capacities, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB, of robust, embedded SSDs. Based on Greenliant’s internally-developed NAND controller, NANDrive has ECC capabilities with wear-leveling algorithms and bad block management to extend the life of the product. NANDrive includes power interrupt data protection and enhanced security features to safeguard mission-critical data.

“To address applications with long lifecycles, SLC SATA NANDrive will be available up to 10 years through Greenliant’s Long-Term Availability (LTA) program,” said Chen Tsai, SVP, manufacturing operations, Greenliant. “With the LTA program and new SLC NANDrive products, Greenliant is reiterating its commitment to customers in markets with stringent requirements, such as automotive, avionics, industrial, medical, military and transportation.”

Industrial grade SATA NANDrive operates from -40 to +85°C and is tested to MIL-STD-883E to withstand harsh conditions. All SATA NANDrive devices have the same footprint in a 14x24x1.95mm, 145-ball package, with 1mm ball pitch for increased long-term reliability.

Industrial grade 16GB and 32GB SATA NANDrive devices are available, and can be ordered through a Greenliant authorized sales channel. Customers can also request NANDrive product samples and evaluation boards.

About NANDrive Products
NANDrive manages all NAND flash complexities and allows embedded system designers to integrate storage solutions into their designs withoutfirmware changes. Because NANDrive complies with ATA and eMMC interface protocols supported by all standard embedded OSs, designers no longer face costly, time-consuming host software revalidation cycles. They solves the compatibility and obsolescence issues of pairing a NAND controller with new NAND flash devices. As an integrated multi-chip package solution, NANDrive eliminates the need for long qualification cycles when there is a change of NAND flash technology; customers need only qualify the NANDrive as a mass storage subsystem.
