Swissbit Showing Flash Memory Cards and Storage Families

Swissbit AG will be exhibiting a number of products at embedded world 2016, Nuremberg, Germany, that address the needs of industrial, automotive and networking/communications applications.

Items highlighted will include SD and microSD cards, embedded USB modules and SSDs. The event will also signify the first appearance of firm’s durabit range, which delivers a combination of performance and endurance in MLC NAND flash-based memory and storage products.

The S-450 and S-450u Series SD and Micro SD memory cards combine SLC flash components with a powerful system architecture and intelligent firmware to deliver performance for demanding applications while maintaining high reliability and robustness. The company has added the durabit S-45 and S-45u SD memory cards for cost sensitive applications that still require high reliability. The firmware used in the controller of the durabit SD memory card devices increases performance and endurance up to 100 times in comparison to other existing solutions.

X-60m, X-60s, X-60m.2 and F-60 SSDs from the durabit range will also be featured at embedded world. The SSDs in mSATA, SATA Slim, CFast and m.2 form factors offer performance, achieving sequential R/W speeds of up to 520MB/s and 405MB/s, respectively. Industrial applications with a need for random R/W performance will enjoy a data rate up to 76,000 IO/s for transfer sizes of 4KB and queue depths of 32.

Also on display will be the U-400 series embedded USB module (eUSB flash module). The U-400 has been designed to achieve maximum data retention, power fail safety, lifetime monitoring and endurance while still maintaining compatibility with existing applications. Key to this endurance is the utilization of the latest generation SLC flash with an advanced USB controller. On top of this, firmware routines eliminate read disturb effects that are common in applications that are mainly reading data over a long lifetime.
