Differentiating itself from competitors' 8bit microcontroller offerings that fail to offer the same performance capabilities, Netlist's PC Card uses a 32bit RISC processor, which incorporates a state-of-the art ECC engine and wear-levelling algorithm that results in compelling performance improvements.
"The growing industrial market for Flash memory has stringent requirements that consumer-oriented vendors cannot fully address".
"As an approved supplier to demanding tier one OEMs in the computing industry, Netlist has developed a multifaceted programme to ensure that its Flash modules provide the robustness that industrial users require for maximum reliability", says Jon Dobson, Director of the Flash Business Unit for Netlist.
"We've leveraged our experience, design expertise, partnerships and manufacturing capabilities to deliver this new Industrial-Grade PC Card in an effort to satisfy OEMs needs for consistent BOMs and a long-term supply source for Flash modules".
"The availability of this solid-state device demonstrates Netlist's commitment to meeting the critical demands of the industrial user with best-in-class performance and uncompromising product quality".
Ideally suited for high-performance applications and very high densities, the PC Card features the latest single level cell (SLC) NAND Flash architecture and allows for a controlled BOM to support full product traceability.
Netlist's PC Card is able to support a wide range of temperatures and is manufactured with industrial temperature range components.
Temperature support capabilities for commercial temperatures range from 0 to 70C, and industrial temperatures range from -40 to +85C.
