Highly reliable, high speed and low power NAND flash memory-based solid state drives (SSDs)

Abstract

SSDs and emerging storage class non-volatile semiconductor memories such as PCRAM, FeRAM, RRAM and MRAM have enabled innovations in various nano-scale VLSI memory systems for personal computers, multimedia applications and enterprise servers. This paper provides a comprehensive review on various state-of-the-art memory system architectures and related memory circuits for the highly reliable, high speed and low power NAND flash memory based SSDs. © IEICE 2012.
