JEDEC Publishes Update to Universal Flash Storage (UFS)

JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, the worldwide chief within the improvement of requirements for the microelectronics business, in the present day introduced the publication of Universal Flash Storage (UFS) model 3.1, JESD220E. In addition, an non-compulsory new companion customary, JESD220-3: UFS Host Performance Booster (HPB) Extension, has additionally been revealed. Developed for cell purposes and computing methods requiring excessive efficiency with low energy consumption, UFS 3.1 introduces new options meant to assist maximize system efficiency whereas minimizing energy utilization. Both JESD220E and JESD220-Three can be found for obtain from the JEDEC web site.

JESD220E UFS 3.1 defines the next key updates over the prior model of the usual:

• Write Booster: a SLC non-volatile cache that amplifies write pace
• DeepSleep: a brand new UFS system low energy state concentrating on decrease value methods that share UFS voltage regulators with different capabilities
• Performance Throttling Notification: permits the united statesdevice to inform the host when storage efficiency is throttled because of excessive temperature

JESD220-3 Host Performance Booster (HPB) Extension supplies an choice to cache the united statesdevice logical-to-physical deal with map within the system’s DRAM. For UFS gadgets with a big density, utilizing system DRAM supplies bigger and quicker caching thereby bettering the learn efficiency of the system.

“The development of UFS 3.1 is a prime example of the ongoing commitment within JEDEC to continually improve and enhance JEDEC standards to meet the needs of the industry and, ultimately, the consumer,” stated Mian Quddus, Chairman of the JEDEC Board of Directors and the JC-64 Committee for Embedded Memory Storage and Removable Memory Cards. He added, “The new features introduced with UFS 3.1 and UFS HPB will offer product designers greater flexibility in managing power consumption and enhancing device performance.”
