As embedded systems evolve to support more powerful edge AI, real-time analytics and high-resolution video processing, flash memory storage has become a critical determinant of system performance, responsiveness and power efficiency. In the past, flash memory developments focused primarily on increasing capacity and reducing cost. Today bandwidth, latency, reliability, capacity and cost are all equally important design criteria.
This article describes how three updated specifications, MIPI M-PHY v6.0, MIPI UniPro v3.0 and JEDEC UFS 5.0 support these new design challenges. It will explain how they deliver a high-performance flash memory storage solution that addresses the growing market need for high-throughput, low-latency flash memory in embedded platforms, with use cases ranging from mobile, PC and gaming devices to automotive and industrial systems.
