According to Neil Shah, companion and analysis director, Counterpoint Research, “Storage is one of the fastest growing semiconductor applications in a connected autonomous car. The advanced in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), AI and sensor-driven autonomous driving systems generate large amounts of data that needs to be processed and stored locally at the edge. The average capacity of storage required per vehicle is expected to balloon beyond 2TB by 2022.”
High capability storage, usually utilized in vehicles for storing map information, utility software program and consumer data, is now discovering its approach into next-gen auto functions together with information recorders, digital clusters, gateway, V2X communications, ADAS, AI and autonomous computer systems. This rising pattern requires flash to be designed for excessive automotive environments, together with temperature vary as much as 105°C, in addition to assembly the standard and reliability necessities vital for these functions.
“High capacity storage with rigorous quality and reliability requirements is rapidly becoming the standard in the automotive sector,” stated Oded Sagee, senior director, Devices, Western Digital. “This first-of-its-kind 3D TLC NAND e.MMC EFD is designed with the feature set and specifications to meet the demands of next-gen applications.”
The IATF16949 licensed, AEC-Q100 compliant and adhering to the ISO26262 NAND flash Safety Mechanisms tips, iNAND AT EM132 EFD additionally encompasses a wealthy automotive characteristic set designed for intensive automotive workloads.
Features embody:
- Advanced well being monitoring
