Solid state drives, in fact, is a combination of the master chip, flash memory particles and cache unit of the electronic board.In these three pieces, the highest procurement cost is undoubtedly the flash memory particles, accounting for about 70% of the share. Technical content and core technology is the main control chip, bear the command of data, computing and coordination role, the transfer rate of the master chip directly affects the efficiency of the entire hard disk to use.The specific role in the performance, first, a reasonable allocation of data The load on each flash memory chip enables all flash memory particles to work normally under a certain load, coordinate and maintain the cooperation of different block particles, and the other is to undertake the entire data transfer, connect the flash memory chip and the external SATA interface, and the three Is responsible for the completion of the internal instructions of the solid state drive, such as trim, CG recovery, wear leveling. The main chip market, showing a multi-polarization hierarchy, from the early years of micro-Jmicron, Indilinx, Toshiba production to the mid-term mainstream Sandforce and now Huilion blooming, group, Marvell, Samsung, the main chip manufacturers in the constant competition will be solid-state hard drive products The overall performance improvement to enhance a big step up, but also promote the popularity of the entire solid state drive to the consumer market.
Memory core technology was established in November 2015, is the first dedicated to high-performance SSD master chip research and development of start-ups. Memory core technology founder and CEO Shen Fei pointed out that the company has always been to world-class chip and program as the goal , With domestic control and help information security as their own responsibility, after the FPGA technology validation, MB1000 prototype chip, finally successfully launched the first commercial NVMe SSD STAR1000 STAR STAR is a high-end consumer-grade enterprise-class high-performance NVMe SSD main control chip, is currently the first domestic mainstream SSD vendors have chosen the master chip.It has the industry's best level of read and write performance, sequential read and write performance up to 3GB / s and 2GB / s, random read and write performance Up to 350K and 300K IOPS respectively, supporting the latest NVMe1.2 protocol (StarNVMe technology) and mainstream MLC, 3D TLC particles (StarFLash technology StarLDPC technology). The STAR1000 uses the TSMC 28nm HPC process combined with StarELP on-chip low-power control technology Power consumption of less than 2.5W, standby power consumption is less than 5mW. Whether it is performance or power performance, STAR1000 have reached the international advanced level. This is the first Through the PCI-SIG test memory control chip, memory core technology has also become the first domestic chip industry with PCI-SIG and IOL NVMe dual certification company.
At the press conference, Ding Wenwu, the general manager of National IC Industry Investment Fund, pointed out that at present, China's memory chips account for 1/4 of the total IC's imports, while domestic control chips are almost zero. Recognition and confidence, calling for the government, society, capital and enterprises to work together to support the self-developed domestic SSD master chip to help realize the dream of "China Chip." We hope that Memory Chip Technology will achieve greater development for the progress of China's storage industry Contribution their due strength.Industry Department of Electronic Information Division Integrated Circuit AIC director, said it must be in a vast area of storage to achieve a breakthrough, and stressed that the integrated circuit industry, high investment, long cycle, encourage core technology never mind The initial mind, always adhere to, pooling resources, market share achieved greater breakthroughs.
As the first client of the STAR1000 chipset, Zeng Huanxiong, CEO of Lite-On Storage Business Group, congratulated on video. He expressed his great admiration for the strength and efficiency of the YMCA team and said that in recent years, the domestic semiconductor industry has boomed. Memory core technology in two years to develop such a high-end product is the strength of the domestic semiconductor design industry, the best evidence of hope in the future to develop more new products to create a win-win! Lite-On (Lite-On) Storage Fu Renjie, senior research director of R & D Group, reviewed the cooperation process with Memory Science Technology Co., Ltd., praised the team for his sparring spirit and announced the upcoming release of Lite-On Technology's T10 PLUS SSD. The T10 PLUS adopts the STAR1000 as the master chip, 3D flash memory particles, is the first solid state hard drive product developed by Lite-On Corp., which is made at the core of high-end home-made supervisors in China. The T10 PLUS SSD achieves the performance of industry leading 4K random read IOPS 320K and 4K random write IOPS 275K.
Nowadays, the development of the integrated circuit industry can not be separated from the cooperation of the ecosystem. The president of Synopsys Asia-Pacific, Lin Jung-jien, praised NEXCOM for speed of light and congratulated Yasukuni on the successful launch of STAR1000 and the launch of its products with Lite-On. At the same time also congratulate China's semiconductor industry, from the sky there is a glittering star - STARBLAZE (memory core technology)!
Looking forward to the company's product planning for the next few years, Shen Fei said with passion that following the launch of the STAR1000 in 2017, the Uranus series chips will be launched in 2018, supporting up to 32TB of storage capacity and up to one million concurrent accesses, entering data Center and surveillance areas; Sirius series chips will be introduced in 2019, into the smart storage of emerging markets by importing operating systems, more computing power and in-depth learning; will launch 'Orion' series chips in 2020, which is storage, Computing and network chip, it will help the storage evolve from the traditional storage disk into a storage server and serve the evolving data center. Through this series of products, Memory Card Technology will eventually realize its own 'China core, the world's dream' He stressed that Memory Core's goal is to become a world-class data center chip and solutions company to promote the widespread use of SSD storage in the data center to provide one-stop service from end to cloud.With the help of integrated circuit industry and information security countries Will, Results China IDC historical development, independent research and development based on the domestic control, data center to provide the key to the evolution of technology.
