Consumers are increasingly demanding the same capabilities and
interfaces from their car that they get from their smartphones and
tablets, making cars far more than mere methods of transportation. In
the quest for an elevated driving experience, advances such as
autonomous vehicles, infotainment systems, clusters, telematics, and ADAS1
are all creating greater demand for storage within vehicles. In addition
to handling the enormous quantities of data generated by these
in-vehicle applications, automotive memory solutions must also be fast,
reliable, support a wide range of environments and temperatures, be
shock- and vibration-resistant, and fully compatible with
industry-standard interfaces.
As the inventor of NAND flash, the maker of the industry’s first
Universal Flash Storage (UFS2) devices and a leader in
process migrations, Toshiba Memory is in a unique position to address
the storage demands of the automotive systems of today – and tomorrow.
The company is committed to continually reinforcing its lineup of
embedded flash memory solutions for automotive applications with the
latest technology advances – including its BiCS FLASH™ 3D flash memory.
Demonstrations can be seen at TMA’s booth #B174 at the Suburban
Collection Showcase from June 5 – 6, and include:
-
Toshiba Memory’s Automotive UFS – Supports a wide temperature
range (-40°C to +105°C), meets AEC-Q100 Grade23
requirements, contains advanced features such as Refresh, Thermal
Control and Extended Diagnosis, and offers enhanced reliability
capabilities. Available capacities include 16 gigabytes (GB), 32GB,
64GB, 128GB, and 256GB4. -
Automotive e-MMC5 – Supports a
wide temperature range (up to 105°C), meets AEC-Q100 Grade2
requirements and features enhanced reliability. Capacities range from
8GB to 64GB.
“Storage requirements within vehicles continue to expand, whether it be
for Infotainment, ADAS or other functions,” noted Beekman. “Just as our
UFS has enabled improved performance in consumer applications such as
smartphones, so too is Automotive UFS enabling enhanced performance and
capacities to meet these needs within automotive applications.”
