NAND DDR interface

Abstract

Nowadays NAND Flash memory is pervading every type of electronic application. The availability of cheap storage memory, in combination with high densities, makes up the choice in favor of NAND Flash on board of applications traditionally linked to other types of memories (such as EEPROM and NOR) or technologies (such as Hard Disk Drives). Mobile devices, PDA, PC, camcorders, set top boxes, servers, routers, enterprise storage and many more new applications requiring a storage media will have to deal with NAND Flash in the coming years. The memories environment has changed since year 2001 when growth rate for NAND surpassed the 'Moore law' observed for processor growth and predicting a double density every eighteen months. By then, NAND devices with double density have been introduced every year. In addition, MLC devices with 2 bit/cell entered volume production. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
