Silicon Motion was showcasing and demonstrating these products at the EE Live! Conference and Expo in San Jose, CA from April 1 to 3.
 
Ferri-eMMC is designed for a range of embedded applications and is compliant with JEDEC-standard eMMC 4.5 protocol. With a 100-ball 1.0mm pitch BGA package, it provides for more flexible PCB design and low-cost manufacturing. Ferri-eMMC delivers data integrity and protection capabilities featuring Silicon Motion’s NAND management technologies including error correction, bad block management and NAND health monitoring. 

New Ferri-eMMC parts:

  • SM667 for reliability applications that require up to 30K Program/Erase (P/E) cycles
  • SM661 for cost effective systems with less stringent endurance requirements

Silicon Motion’s latest FerriSSD products are single-package SATA 6Gb/s SSDs that feature embedded DRAM to enhance storage efficiency and increase performance.  These integrated solutions embed Silicon Motion’s NAND flash controller, industry standard NAND flash memory and DRAM in a 90-ball, 1.0mm pitch BGA package (16x20x2mm). The embedded DRAM extends the SSD life and delivers up to 80,000 random IO/s. These solutions also leverage Silicon Motion technologies including PowerShield, DataPhoenix, Intelligent Scan DataRefresh, SSDLifeGuard health-monitoring, remote firmware update, and other patented proprietary features. 

New FerriSSD parts:

  • SM659 for reliability applications that require up to 30K Program/Erase (P/E) cycles
  • SM619 for cost effective systems with less stringent endurance requirements

We are very excited to add new Ferri-eMMC and SATA 6Gb/s FerriSSD products to our successful portfolio of Ferri solutions. With our expanded product range, we are better able to bring industrial-grade and commercial-grade, single-package SSD solutions to an increasingly wide range of embedded applications, such as server, thin client, POS, office automation, HMI devices, factory automation, gaming, medical equipment, surveillance and in-vehicle infotainment that require eMMC 4.5 or faster SATA 3.1 performance,” said Wallace Kou, president and CEO, Silicon Motion.  “Industrial and commercial devices that require instant boot-up and reduced OS and software load time benefit from our highly reliable, high endurance, compact single-package SSDs.”
 
Key Features and Benefits:

Ferri-eMMC (SM667 and SM661): cost-effective and reliable single-package embedded memory compliant with JEDEC-standard eMMC 4.5 and incorporates capabilities and technologies including:

  • Advanced ECC management, wear leveling and DataRefresh features to offer the best data retention and the most robust protection against read disturbance
  • Advanced system level protection against unstable power to deliver robust data protection
  • Available in both commercial (-25°C to 85°C) and industrial temperature grades (-40°C to 85°C)
  • Small form factor (14x18x1.4mm) in a 100-ball, 1.0mm ball pitch BGA package
  • Available in 2GB to 32GB configurations

FerriSSD (SM659 and SM619): high performance, reliable and cost-effective single-package SATA 6Gb/s SSDs that incorporate capabilities and technologies including:

  • Delivers up to 75,000 random read IO/s and up to 80,000 random write IO/s (NCQ depth = 32)
  • Embedded DRAM to enable the lowest Write Amplification to extend SSD life span
  • Advanced ECC management, wear leveling, Intelligent Scan and DataRefresh features to offer the best data retention and the most robust protection against read disturbance
  • Available in both commercial (0°C to 70°C) and industrial temperature grades (-40°C to 85°C)
  • Small form factor (16x20x2mm) in a 90-ball, 1.0mm ball pitch BGA package
  • Available in 8GB to 64GB configurations

Silicon Motion’s new Ferri-eMMC (SM667 and SM661) and FerriSSD (SM659 and SM619) are sampling.
 
Ferri portfolio is available in PATA, SATA and eMMC protocols using either MLC or SLC NAND flash. The company has a network of local support teams that can optimize Ferri solutions based on customer systems and requirements. All Ferri solutions are tested at both the wafer and package level and are 100% screened to meet performance and quality standards.
