KIOXIA Europe GmbH announced that it has started sampling new Automotive Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Ver. 3.1 embedded flash memory devices. The new line-up utilizes the company’s BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory and is available in capacities from 64GB to 512GB to support the various requirements of evolving automotive applications that elevate driver experiences.
The new devices support a wide temperature range (-40°C to +105°C), meet AEC-Q100 Grade2 requirements and offer enhanced reliability capabilities that increasingly complex automotive applications require.
Both the sequential read and sequential write performance of the Automotive UFS Ver. 3.1 device are significantly improved by approximately 2.2x and 6x, respectively, over previous generation devices (512GB device “THGAFBT2T83BABI”). These performance gains contribute to faster system startup and OTA (Over-the-Air) updates.
