Wincor Nixdorf will offer its Beetle POS family with M-Systems' Flash disk, mModule uDOC, as its solid state storage solution.
"M-Systems' x2 technology was developed to enable the practical use of state-of-the-art NAND Flash silicon and endow it with high levels of reliability, performance and power-saving features".
"With x2 technology, DiskOnChip P3 offers extremely high performance for onboard multimedia storage", said David Tolub, Vice President and Comanager of M-Systems' DiskOnChip Business Unit.
DiskOnChip P3 delivers industry-leading performance with a burst mode read speed of 80Mbyte/s (5Mbyte/s sustained) and write speed of 2.5Mbyte/s.
"The high rates of performance available with DiskOnChip P3 contribute to an ultimate user experience within high-end devices offering the most advanced multimedia capabilities", said Tolub.
The integrity of stored data is protected with reliability enhancement features including a newly developed bad-block handling mechanism, 5bit error-detection code (EDC) and 4bit error-correction code (ECC).
Combined within DiskOnChip P3, these features contribute to industry-leading rates of reliability that help to extend product life and prevent crashes, loss of data and other malfunctions.
Each chip is further protected with a unique ID, a one-time programming (OTP) area, hardware protection and a sticky lock.
The active current of DiskOnChip P3 is only 10mA.
Additionally, to enable increased battery life for handheld and other devices, DiskOnChip P3 offers a deep power-down mode for low, 10uA power consumption.
In addition to a 7 x 10 x 1.2mm FBGA package, DiskOnChip P3 is available in a standard 12 x 20mm TSOP-I package.
Based on Toshiba's 0.13-micron process NAND Flash silicon, both versions of DiskOnChip P3 have a 16bit interface and an internal 32bit bus (with parallel multiplane access) and offer a clear upgrade path to M-Systems' 64Mbyte DiskOnChip product line.
