Phison PS3111-S11T: Industrial Grade SATA III Controller for Embedded and Client SSDs

Phison Electronics Corporation announces the availability of its next generation industrial grade SATA III SSD controller, the PS3111-S11T.

The PS3111-S11T is a controller designed with ‘Industrial DNA’ which includes enhanced reliability, design flexibility, and industry wide NAND flash support from planar 2D to 3D SLC/MLC/TLC.

SSD solution providers now have the adantage to reduce development efforts for embedded and client applications.

The PS3111-S11T is shipping since June of 2016.

Client SSD solutions can take advantage of extended reliability features from the PS3111-S11T controller such as End to End Data Path Protection, SmartECC, SmartZIPand SmartFlush. Low Density Parity Check(LDPC) is another feature that can enhance lower P/E cycle NAND flash to meet industry endurance requirements. Though performance has never been a key focus for industrial needs, the PS3111-S11T controller is a very capable high performing SATA III controller that can reach up to 550MB/s sequential read, 500MB/s sequential write, 91,000 random read IO/s and 86,000 random write IO/s.

Embedded SSD solutions has been an area the company has focused on since 2008. The PS3111-S11T will continue to provide the same industrial traits such as extended temperature support from -40°C to 85°C and extended endurance NAND flash support from 1Znm SLC that can achieve up to 730TBW and 36TBW with 1Znm MLC respectively, based on a 16GB capacity solution. Phison has a long history of supporting form factors ranging from uSSD, CFast, and MO-297 to mainstream M.2 and 2.5″ for the embedded market.
