Samsung Ships Samples of New NAND Flash – MoviNAND
Samsung’s semiconductor division announced Sept. 5 that it is shipping 1GB and 2GB samples of MoviNAND?an embedded combination of NAND flash memory, a multimedia card controller and onboard firmware?to some of its mobile-product OEMs.
MoviNAND is smaller than most competing devices being marketed and takes advantage of its high-performance multimedia card interface to provide the mobile data processing possible at 52MB per second. MoviNAND was devised through cooperative work of Samsung’s memory division and its System LSI division. A Samsung spokesperson said mass production of MoviNAND in 1GB and 2GB densities starts in September. The company, based in Seoul, South Korea, will further add 512MB and 4GB densities by the end of 2006, the spokesperson said.
