TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Silicon Motion
Technology Corporation (NASDAQ: SIMO) ("Silicon Motion"), a global
leader in designing and marketing NAND flash controllers for
solid-state storage devices, today introduced its new SD 6.0
controller solutions supporting SD Specification 6.0 and meeting
the new A2 application performance rating with a minimum random
read/write performance of 4,000/2,000 IOPS. Expandable memory cards
with our new SD 6.0 controller will deliver ultra-high performance
for users to run Android 6.x/7.x applications directly from SD
cards as well as support bandwidth-intensive applications such as
4k video recording and playback and AR/VR.
Silicon Motion's SD 6.0 controller solutions support low voltage
signaling to meet the needs of low-power SoCs and feature command
queue, cache function and self-maintenance capabilities that enable
high-performance, high-reliability and long endurance expandable
memory cards – all critical features that are similar to those used
in SSDs or embedded memory for managing large amounts of data. In
addition, the SD 6.0 controller solutions support up to 2TB
capacity and are offered in both commercial and industrial
temperature grades, enabling SD 6.0 cards for high-performance and
highly reliable storage for consumer, commercial, industrial and
automotive devices.
"The use of expandable storage in mobile and industrial
applications continues to be strong," said Nelson Duann, Senior Vice President of Product
Marketing at Silicon Motion. "Most of today's Android smartphones
and mobile computing devices allow users to run applications from
removable cards directly. Silicon Motion's new SD 6.0
controllers extend the capabilities of expandable memory to provide
a robust, high-capacity platform for running high-performance
applications as well as bandwidth-intensive multimedia applications
such as 4K video recording and playback."
