STMicroelectronics has completed its 'Small Page' NAND Flash memory roadmap with the introduction of 256 Mbit and 128 Mbit devices to provide cost-effective storage for a range of consumer products that require large amounts of low cost memory. Both of the new devices are available in 3 V and 1,8 V power supply versions, and they join 512 Mbit and 1 Gbit chips that are already in volume production.
According to ST the NAND256 and NAND128 provide ultra-fast data throughput and erase capability, coupled with low power programming and low voltage operation. Their small memory cell size ensures that the cost of mass memory is minimised for price-sensitive products, such as consumable low-density storage media, including Flash cards and USB memory sticks.
A software toolchain available from ST allows fast development of products that use the new memory chips, and can help to extend their useful life.
