Lynhurtig SPI NOR flash-hukommelse
Macronix er klar med ny generation af SPI NOR flash hukommelser, der kan honorere kravende fra kommende x8 I/O serial interface produkter med 200MHz frekvens og transmissionshastigheder op til 400MB.
Macronix has announced the OctaFlash MX25UM product family, the industry's fastest SPI NOR flash memory, according to the company. OctaFlash provides designers with the next generation performance level of x8 I/O serial interface products with an operating frequency of up to 200MHz and transmission speeds of up to 400MB/s. This world class leading performance aids designers to meet the ever increasing demands of In-vehicle entertainment, ADAS & camera applications.With the rapid development of 'Internet of Things', the focus of automotive electronics has shifted from audiovisual and entertainment functions to smart cars and vehicle networking and the content of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) used in automobiles is
increasing steadily. According to a survey conducted by IC Insights, automotive electronics will show strong growth over the period from 2013 to 2018, with a compound annual growth rate of up to 10.8%, surpassing the 5.5% growth rate in the overall IC market.
Additionally, the IEK Centre at the Industrial Technology Research Institute predicts that the
worldwide market for automotive electronics, estimated at 167 billion dollars in 2013, will double to around 301.1 billion dollars by 2019, attracting the attention of new system providers from around the globe.
As a driver and leader in the non-volatile memory market, Macronix has a strong history in continually providing solutions to meet the emerging needs of the automotive market. As many automotive applications exceeded the performance needs of traditional Quad (x4) I/O SPI solutions, Macronix introduced their first x8 I/O SPI solution in the form of the Dual Quad MX66L-85G series and now, taking the performance to the next level, Macronix is introducing this year the Octaflash MX25UM family, with SPI backwards compatibility.
Macronix has very strong growth within its Automotive business in the last few years and from the design win success' being achieved, continued strong growth in the coming years may be expected. Also, many of the leading automotive electronics suppliers are now in full mass
production utilizing a wide range of Macronix's flash memory components, including both serial and parallel NOR devices as well as SLC NAND products. Furthermore, Macronix has been able to achieve positive recognition from many global vehicle OEMs.
