Value-Added Role of a Controller
6
Storage Devices Increasingly Faster, Cheaper & Better:• More Sophisticated Applications: from
Smartphones to PCs to Datacenters• Faster Data Read/Write Speed (IOPS)• Lower Latency• Higher Stability• Better Data Security• Greater Scaled Capacity
NAND Component Increasingly Cheaper, but Weaker:• Issues Arising from: Higher 3D Layer Count & Multi-
Level Cell (MLC, TLC, QLC)• Increasing Data Corruption from Weaker Data
Retention, More Circuitry Noise & Increasing Read/Write Interference
• Lower Endurance
Expanding Value-Added Role of a Controller• Optimized for Performance,
Power, Cost & Ease of Use• Solutions Include LDPC
Algorithms Specifically-Optimized for NAND, RAID Protection & DSPs for Data Shaping
• Rapid displacement of HDDs
• SSDs increasingly as cheap, if not cheaper than HDDs
• Faster, more reliable, lower power & smaller form factor
• Our controller solution:• Customizable H/W + F/W turnkey solutions &
configurable platforms
