Winbond's OctalNAND Flash interoperates with Synopsys DesignWare AMBA IP
Winbond Electronics has announced the successful interoperability of Synopsysâ DesignWare Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) IP with the company's OctalNAND Flash Memory.
The DesignWare SSI IP, offering high transfer rates and low latency in serial flash memories and OctalNAND Flash deliver a complete NAND flash memory solution for automotive, mobile and IoT SoCs, enabling faster adoption of octal non-volatile memories (NVM) with high-speed read bandwidth in densities up to 4Gbit.
Winbond developed OctalNAND Flash because flash suppliers are reaching the limits of NOR technologyâs ability to provide high-density NVM cost effectively while still being assembled in industry standard packages. In applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Cluster (dashboard), and Factory Automation Controllers, system designers have traditionally been using NOR. As the code size routinely exceeds 512Mb, NOR Flash costs much more than the equivalent density NAND.
