msystems(TM) mDOC Enables MLC NAND Support for the Freescale 3G MXC Cellular Platform
September 07 2006 - 6:52AM
Business Wire
msystems (NASDAQ:FLSH), a leader in smart personal storage, today
announced that the company's mDOC is to provide handset vendors
designing with Freescale's MXC300-30 3G platform access to
cost-effective multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash in an
easy-to-integrate, power-efficient, high-density, bootable storage
solution. Freescale's MXC300-30 platform provides a comprehensive
UMTS/HSDPA solution including integrated baseband and applications
processor, RF transceiver, power amplifier and power management IC.
With mDOC, mobile handset vendors working with Freescale's
MXC300-30 platform have a pre-integrated boot and storage solution
based on advanced MLC NAND flash media. "As application
requirements become more memory-intensive and storage demands
increase, system designers look to NAND flash media advancements as
a way to cut costs," said Jose Corleto, Systems & Architecture
Manager, Modem Products Division for Freescale Semiconductor.
"Typically, advancements such as MLC NAND with its inherent
complexity in hardware and device driver software can increase the
risk to a project's success. As an MXC-validated solution,
msystems' mDOC minimizes such risk and allows OEMs to tap into the
latest flash technology to help lower their bill of materials."
mDOC with TrueFFS flash management technology ensures high levels
of performance and reliability and enables boot capability from the
MLC NAND flash media, lowering overall cost and design complexity.
"Our work in support of Freescale's MXC300-30 platform helps
provide our respective customers with turnkey access to MLC NAND
flash media for their mobile handset products," said David Tolub,
corporate vice president and co-manager of the msystems Mobile
Handset Vendor division. "Furthermore, Freescale customers can rest
assured that mDOC, as a validated component within the MXC
architecture, is an easy-to-integrate boot and storage solution
that offers high levels of performance and reliability." Freescale
MXC solutions The revolutionary MXC300-30 platform, with integrated
support for msystems' mDOC, is part of the Mobile eXtreme
Convergence family of platforms from Freescale. The single core
modem processor at the heart of the MXC platforms combines, yet
de-correlates, the DSP call processing functions and the MCU
applications processing into a single processor for a separate,
clean development and optimization of each function. For more
