Smart Modular PCIe NVMe Flash Storage Products in M.2 Type 1620 BGA Package and M.2 2230 Module

Smart Modular Technologies, a subsidiary of S mart Global Holdings, Inc., introduces a line of PCIe NVMe SSD flash products designed for industrial embedded applications.

The BGAP520 PCIe NVMe family of products in M.2 Type 1620 BGA package (BGA NVMe) and small form-factor M.2 2230 single-sided module is for embedded systems where space constraints are a key design consideration.

BGAP520 PCIe NVMe is the latest addition to the company’s portfolio of Duraflash products to deliver reliable flash solutions to the industrial embedded market segment. Duraflash-branded products are built to high standards to withstand the harshest operating environments including hot and cold temperatures, vibration, humidity, salty air, dust and exposure to sulfur dioxide.

The company’s type 1620 BGA NVMe and M.2 2230 PCIe NVMe modules address the need for soldered down and small form factor flash storage in embedded systems. The products utilize a PCIe Gen 3 x4 interface and comply with the NVMe v1.3 protocol standard. They are available in 3D NAND tri-level cell (TLC) in commercial temperature (0°C to 70°C) in 30 to 240GB and pseudo SLC (pSLC) industrial temperature (-40°C to 85°C) in 20 to 80GB versions.

Features for SMART BGAP520 BGA NVMe and M.2 2230 products include:

Built with the latest controller and 3D NAND technology
Supports PCIe Gen3 x 4
Complies with NVMe v1.3 specs
BGA NVMe conforms to M.2 Type 1620 BGA package standard
M.2 2230 module conforms to M.2 2230 S2-M module standard
TLC version available in commercial temperature (0°C to 70°C) from 30 to 240GB
pSLC version available in industrial temperature (-40°C to 85°C) from 20 to 80GB

“At Smart, we’ve developed state-of-the-art solutions for businesses that embed memory and storage into their technology,” said Victor Tsai, director, flash products. “With the BGAP520 PCIe NVMe products in Type 1620 BGA package and M.2 2230 module, designers can count on robust and ruggedized flash memory solutions with unrivaled performance.
