The UFS supports a wide temperature range (-40°C to +105°C), meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements and offers the extended reliability required by various automotive applications. The 512GB device joins the company’s existing line-up of Automotive UFS, which includes capacities of 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB.
Innovations such as autonomous vehicles, more advanced infotainment systems, digital clusters, telematics, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) have created demand for more data storage within vehicles. KIOXIA’s new 512GB Automotive UFS memory was developed to meet this demand for large capacity memory.
The new product integrates the company’s BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory and a controller in a single package. The Thermal Control function protects the device from overheating in the high-temperature circumstances that can occur in automotive applications. In addition, its extended diagnosis function helps the host processor understand the device’s status.
