We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Superflash",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release MCUs bring more to automotive applications from
NEC Electronics (Europe), which we summarised at the time by saying "32bit devices provide the price/performance ratio required for antitheft mechanisms, climate control systems, airbags, hands-free systems and small TFT display applications".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Performance boost for Flash memories from
Silicon Storage Technology: "Flash memories feature fast effective read and program performance, which gives systems using the devices fast boot and field update times".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Silicon Storage Technology
concerning its Theseus Titanium 240
- take a look at Smartcard microcontroller boasts a big Flash
which says: "Device offers 240Kbyte of user-configurable memory based on SST's patented SuperFlash technology".
Take a look also at the news release from Silicon Storage Technology, Controllers take charge of solid-state storage,
as well as Memory technologies come together from Silicon Storage Technology,
and Audio solution offers uncompressed sound from Silicon Storage Technology.
