S9 SD memory card controllers support SLC and 3D NAND
Secure digital (SD) and microSD memory card controllers in the S9 family offer reliable SLC and 3D NAND flash support and the S9S version of the controller adds security features, with an application programming interface, said Hyperstone.
The controller’s FlashXE ECC and hyReliability features guarantee extended endurance, data integrity and power fail safety to cope with demanding applications in markets such as industrial automation, telecomms, networking and medical equipment.
The hyMap flash translation layer allows the S9 to achieve minimal write amplification and maximum endurance which enables efficient use of 3D NAND flash. The result is the lowest field failures over time, claimed Hyperstone. The company’s complementary hySmart lifetime and health monitoring tool, allows qualification to be monitored and predictive maintenance enabled.
The security variant S9S offers hardware support for AES-128/256, public key elliptic curve cryptography, TRNG / DRBG and SHA-256 hashing as well as general purpose I/O pins and ISO7816, I2C and serial peripheral interfaces. The API provides the infrastructure and tools to create a truly innovative storage solution.
Billions of devices provide an SD or microSD card slot and interface making it one of the most widely available options to add removable storage to any application. The interface and form factor can be used to add features such as security, authentication, secure data logging (WORM), surveillance, or for the addition of wireless connectivity such as NFC or Bluetooth.
Hyperstone also support development of differentiated SD and microSD card products, from design tools to full manufacturing services of system-in-package (SiP), chip-on-board (CoB) and bare-die based products like microSD.
The company also has an extensive network of design partners and in-house manufacturing capabilities to support and facilitate the sourcing of NAND flash and manufacturing of SD or microSD memory cards.
The S9, the S9-LAK08 (standard version) and the S9-LASK08 (security and API version) SD cards for evaluation as well as engineering samples and firmware are available now.
