Smic IC manufacturing co., LTD. (" smic "), the mainland's largest and most advanced integrated circuit wafer foundry enterprise, and has drifted back towards £¤ star science and Technology (" M31 Technology Corporation "), professional IP developers, jointly announced today, has drifted back towards £¤ star science and Technology is adopted in smic differentiation high-speed interface IP, for solid-state drives (SSD), general flash memory (it) and USB flash drive, launch diverse storage controller IP application solutions. Based on smic from 110 nm to 28 nm logic technology, the storage controller application platform can help our clients achieve low power consumption, high performance and small chip area of product design, and at the same time promote smic technology platform to realize the application of more differentiated.
Smic IC manufacturing co., LTD. And has drifted back towards £¤ star science and technology jointly announced today, has drifted back towards £¤ star science and technology is adopted in smic differentiation high-speed interface IP, for solid-state drives (SSD), general flash memory (it) and USB flash drive, launch diverse storage controller IP application solutions. For solid state drive (SSD) market, smic 40 nm low leakage process adopts the star has drifted back towards £¤ science and technology development of a new generation of PCIe 3.0 the physical IP, the IP has been tested with multiple vendors controller and conforms to the PCI - SIG specification, for different bandwidth requirements, provide one lane, lane 2, and 4 lane choice, help customers to rapidly develop the chip can support PCle 3.0 solid-state drives. In addition, smic is expected in 28 nm advanced technology USES the PCIe 3.0 the physical IP, to provide customers faster, more province power solutions.
Due to the general Flash memory (2.0 2.0 Universal Flash Storage; it will become a new generation of embedded memory mainstream specifications, smic 55 nm with LL has drifted back towards £¤ star technology development MIPI M - PHY the physical IP, has the capability of high bandwidth and low power consumption characteristics, has been tested with multiple vendors controller and pass it a 2.0 system verification. The other smic is expected in 28 nm HK process with 40 nm LL has drifted back towards £¤ star technology (MIPI M - PHY the physical IP, besides can support dual channel technology, support more extreme energy saving sleep mode, especially suitable for a new generation of mobile devices.
On the USB flash memory controller product application, has drifted back towards £¤ star science and technology developed BCK (Built - in - Clock; built-in frequency) technology, the chip for the mobile device provides no quartz oscillators (Crystal - less) solution, has been in smic 55 nm and 110 nm process help customers into mass production. A new generation of BCK technology in addition to traditional support USB device side 3.0/1.1/2.0, also support 32.768 KHz frequency input, in addition to expanding BCK technology to the USB host the applications, the characteristics of its low power consumption, also meets the requirements of the application of Internet of things.
With the popularity of Type - C interface, has drifted back towards £¤ star technology is smic 28 nm and 40 nm process on developing USB3.1 / see PHY IP, will originally need external high-speed switch (High - speed switch), was built in PHY IP to support omnidirectional plug, also support different VBUS configuration detection at the same time, have been successfully imported the customer product design.
Smic design service center, senior vice President of day ", says Dr Tang "smic in focus on the development of advanced technology at the same time, always adhere to the special technology and the development of differentiated products. In the field of storage controller products, smic logic technology and IP has layout for many years, has grown up and into the mass production, to provide customers with differentiated solutions that satisfy large data storage to the demand for high performance and low power storage controller products. Has drifted back towards £¤ star science and technology is one of the most important IP partner in smic, have diverse solutions for customers to provide high-speed interface strength, we are looking forward to the future to further close cooperation, create a win-win situation."
Has drifted back towards £¤ star science and technology, said the chairman Lin Xiaoping "smic have been used in many advanced technology has drifted back towards £¤ star science and technology by the verification of IP technology, such as PCIe 3.0, MIPI M - PHY V3.0, start, and other products, to solve the needs of today's mainstream storage devices of various chip interconnection, operators can concentrate on the design and development, without having to spend time to verify the IP. Through cooperation with smic, we believe that to take high quality differentiation high-speed interface IP and professional services to support global customers."
