FMS: ATP Electronics Shows Off Next-Gen Industrial Flash Solutions

_{TLC flash, long considered for consumer applications only, is making inroads into rigid industrial segments where reliable performance and extended endurance are essential.}

_{3D TLC-based flash solutions are among the next-gen products that ATP Electronics, Inc. will showcase during the 2019 Flash Memory Summit at the Santa Clara Convention Center, CA, USA from August 6 to 8 in a meeting room.}

_{The company is a provider of ‘Industrial Only’ memory and storage solutions committed to delivering a TCO value through longevity support, testing and screening, and quality.}

_{“As an industrial only manufacturer, ATP is dedicated to making sure that our customers get the most out of their TCO. We take pride in having full in-house ownership of the manufacturing process, which allows us greater flexibility to meet customer needs and guarantee superior quality. With ATP NAND packaging and stringent testing capabilities, we guarantee the NAND quality control of our own-built modules to deliver extended lifespan and longevity support even after other manufacturers have stopped making products for legacy systems,” said Marco Mezger, VP, global marketing, ATP.}

_{3D TLC SSDs and memory cards: Beyond high capacities}

_{The 3D NAND architecture continues to break memory capacity limitations, enabling higher storage densities without increasing footprint. The company’s} NVMe_, SATA M.2 _{modules and} 2.5″ SSDs_{, and} SD_/microSD _{cards based on 3D TLC offer capacities at competitive price points to meet the increasing storage demands of continuous data created in the IoT era.}

_{Aside from high capacity, the company’s 3D TLC flash products also have reliability and endurance due to reduced cell-to-cell interference. With its more relaxed lithography, 3D NAND mitigates the consequences of process shrinking in planar NAND.}

_{Mission-critical industrial applications typically require operation in harsh environments. The firm’s flash storage products with I-Temp ratings can withstand temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. The company’s M.2 NVMe also features ‘Dynamic Thermal Throttling’, which intelligently keeps the device from overheating without impacting performance. M.2 SATA modules and SSDs come with PowerProtector, a power protection mechanism that guarantees data integrity during power loss events.}

_{The company’s SD and microSD cards with 3D TLC offer portable and scalable storage solutions for industrial applications that require high densities and also reliable performance, lower latency and long usage life.}

_{These handy storage devices support operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C and resist environmental hazards such as vibration/shock, humidity, dust, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and wide temperature shifts. The customized hardware design includes an overcurrent fuse to protect against currents that exceed acceptable ratings.}

_{With capacities up to 128GB, the firm’s 3D TLC memory cards store amounts of data for backup, local intelligent computing, boot codes and more, with or without Internet connection.}

_{The 4KB page algorithm meets the SDA’s A1 ‘Application Performance Class’ standard with fast data processing, which is suitable for applications such as edge computing, data recording and map navigation.}

_{Automotive grade memory cards comply with international standards to deliver high levels of data accuracy for applications such as in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).}

_{Mezger affirms the readiness and suitability of its firm’s 3D TLC flash products for industrial applications: “All our products are designed and manufactured according to exacting standards. We perform exhaustive screening and testing from the very basic IC level up to drive and MP levels to deliver 3D TLC solutions with the extended product life and reliable performance that ATP has long been known for.“}

_{Automotive Grade 2 e.MMC: Beyond expectations}

_{The company’s e.MMC, which debuted at last year’s FMS, has garnered AEC-Q100 Grade 2 rating, which means it can perform at temperatures ranging from -40°C to 105°C, going a notch higher than Grade 3-rated solutions to deliver performance and sustained reliability.}

_{Next-gen features such as low-density parity check error correcting code (LDPC ECC) and SRAM soft error detection ensure data integrity and dependable operation, while QR code traceability helps identify each piece for accurate tracking and inventory management.}

_{As a soldered-down solution, the firm’s e.MMC resists shocks and vibrations, making it for embedded and automotive applications requiring rugged endurance and durability. Through the company’s strict screening, testing and validation, the e.MMC achieves 2-3X higher endurance than stand, e.MMC.}

_{SecurStor: Beyond data-at-rest protection}

_{Many flash storage products claim the ability to protect data from unauthorized access. Security mechanisms such as encryption, however, generally protect data at rest. Recognizing that data in the connected world constantly moves and resides in multiple locations, the company is introducing} SecurStor_{, a multi-level and customizable security suite that includes a variety of options that go beyond data-at-rest protection.}

_{Implementations based on SecurStor-enabled devices can help protect data stored on he media as well as in transit and assure a safe and consistent system operation. With SecurStor, customers can choose from features that can be customized according to their application-specific requirements to guard against unauthorized access, illegal copying and other security threats to ensure data, OS and firmware integrity. It is integrated into most of the firm’s new or upcoming industrial only flash storage solutions and can be customized to the individual requirements of an application or a system.}
