As the industry decisively moves towards multilevel cell (MLC) NAND Flash technology, M-Systems' mDOC is already the leading MLC NAND-based EFD for the booming smartphone market.
mDOC H3, with M-Systems' TrueFFS Flash management software running internally as firmware from within the Flash controller inside the chip, is designed to be a self-contained EFD.
This architecture is designed to minimise overall system integration complexity and help reduce end-product design cycles by offering mobile handset and consumer electronics device manufacturers a virtually plug-and-play EFD.
As a true multisource device, mDOC H3 is expected to provide manufacturers with supply continuity peace of mind.
"mDOC provides a robust integrated solution for system designers wishing to include NAND Flash technology into their handsets or mobile platforms", said Barry Evans, General Manager of Intel's Applications Processor Business Unit.
"We are pleased to collaborate with M-Systems to enable increased system performance and reduce the time to market of Monahans-based customer platforms".
"We are extremely happy to collaborate with Intel, a world leader in mobile processor technology", said David Tolub, General Comanager of M-Systems' Mobile Handset Vendor Division.
"Like our mDOC H3 embedded Flash drive, Intel's Monahans processor family is designed to enable faster time to market and a lower development cost with a scalable solution".
"Working together, Intel and M-Systems make mobile product design, smarter".
