Longsys Electronics: Expansion Into 5G Market With Foresee 1.8V SLC Parallel NAND Flash

The three major application scenarios of 5G, including enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communications (uRLLC), and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), will spur the development of IoT, Internet of Vehicles (IoV), Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR), and ultra-HD video.

In this context, in line with the mainstream trend of high reliability and low power consumption in electronic products in recent years, Shenzhen Longsys Electronics Co. Ltd.‘ Foresee industrial-grade storage product line launches the 1.8V SLC Parallel NAND flash, to provide necessary storage applications for electronic devices.

The year 2020 marks a milestone in the development of China’s communications industry and is the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period. The past 5 years have witnessed the development of China’s communications industry. According to data provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, by October 2020, China has completed the year’s target of building 500,000 5G base stations ahead of schedule, with more than 10,000 news 5G base stations built every week. As a main driving force of the economic recovery, 5G infrastructure construction greatly boosts the 5G network coverage and capacity.

Product information
Diversified products provide storage solutions to meet market expectations.

Applications
Foresee 1.8V SLC Parallel NAND flash is mainly used in 5G modules, routers, and other products. It is about to be verified on multiple platforms such as MTK, Spreadtrum, and Qualcomm.

1.8V ultra-low power consumption to welcome the 5G era
The product uses 1.8V power, reducing power consumption by about 40% compared to 3.3V devices and meeting customers’ need for low power consumption. It is also compatible with the mainstream 3.3V product standard. The stability and compact body pave the way for its applications on mobile devices, industrial-grade products, vehicle-mounted systems, IOT, and AI.

Testing to ensure outstanding stability and reliability
Foresee 1.8V SLC Parallel NAND flash has passed chip-level tests in 80 sub-items of nearly 50 items conducted by the company’s R&D team and testing team. It has also passed the reliability verification of JEDEC standard (such as the 1,000-hour High Temperature Operation Life (HTOL) test by using 77 PCS/3 lots) and the specially designed and developed stability test. The product can withstand harsh industrial environments and is proven to be a stable and reliable industrial-grade SLC NAND product.

Supporting OTP to ensure information security
The Unique ID (UID) and One Time Programable (OTP) functions enable the product to provide customers with more areas for storing security information. A program burned into the OTP area of the chip cannot be tampered or erased, which protects user data security. UID and OTP can effectively prevent the risk of information leakage.

Features

Multiple packaging options available and up to 8Gb capacity
The product can provide capacities of 1, 2, 4 and 8Gb and supports the BGA63 and TSOP48 packaging methods, thereby meeting the storage needs of customers’ different applications.

In line with industrial-grade temperature requirements to cater for a range of scenarios
The product meets the industrial-grade temperature requirements of -40°C to 85°C, making it capable of withstanding harsh operation environments in various industrial application scenarios.

Stable operation for 10 years to ensure data durability
The product’s data retention period is up to 10 years with 100,000 erase cycles, ensuring the product durability and reliability in industrial applications.

The company utilizes self-developed high-coverage test cases as well as a quality management process involving the design, packaging, testing, and verification to sustain reliability and stability of the industrial-grade storage products in harsh surroundings such as changes between high and low temperatures, complex electromagnetic environments, and physical shock and vibration.

In the future, the firm will continue to expand its industrial-grade and automotive-grade product lines. Driven by high requirements, Foresee will serve clients in emerging fields such as IoT, 5G modules, and automotive electronics with products, and bring more valuable new products to the industrial automation and automotive electronics markets.
