OCP NVMe Cloud SSD Specification 1.0 support |
The PCIe interface with NVMe protocol has become the new standard for consumer, enterprise and embedded applications. Although all three use the same SSD architecture, the individual requirements differ significantly. While high capacity and speed are most important for client and enterprise applications and are addressed by the market, the resulting heat generation poses a huge challenge to embedded applications.
The necessity to adopt the new interface standard while still just requiring small capacities ask for dedicates products. Immunity against data loss at power fail is a strong requirement for embedded and enterprise applications.
For industrial and embedded markets Swissbit addresses these different needs with the N-20m2 with HMB support, low power consumption and small form factors, and with the high performance N-30m2 with powersafe™ hardware power fail protection. They feature thermal and data care management and various security options. Both series are also available in pSLC variants with highly increased endurance. The N-32m2 powersafe™ is optimized for NetCom and enterprise applications that require enterprise grade endurance with a strong Swissbit typical value set.

Features
Various effects like data retention, read disturb limits, or temperature can impact data reliability. The latest generation of Swissbit products use special methods to maintain and refresh the data for higher data integrity.
The longevity product lines use special components with a long-term supply commitment of up to 10 years. These products offer lowest TCO in demanding applications with high requalification cost.
Intelligent Power Fail Protection and Recovery protects data from unexpected power loss. During an unintentional shutdown, firmware routines and an intelligent hardware architecture ensure that all system and user data will be stored to the NAND.
Products with the Swissbit powersafe feature use reliable tantalum capacitors to store energy so that in case of a sudden power fail the charge will be used to harden the cache content into the NAND flash.
In many industrial applications the data is written to the NAND Flash once and is only read afterwards. For such cases, the firmware can be optimized in order to guarantee the highest possible data retention and less read disturb.
Robustness is one of our key specification targets. The design, assembly and use of selected materials guarantee an extremely solid design which has been validated by extensive testing.
The sensor allows the host hardware or software to monitor the memory device temperature to improve data reliability in the target application environment.
The TRIM command allows the operating system to inform the SSD which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped out internally, which increases system performance in following write accesses. With TRIM Support data scrap can be deleted in advance, which otherwise would slow down future write operations to the involved blocks.
The WAF (write amplification factor) for MLC-based products is reduced by combining a paged based FW block management with a powerful card architecture and configuration settings.
Sophisticated Wear Leveling and Bad Block Management ensure that Flash cells are sparingly and equally used in order to prolong life time of the device.
Swissbit‘s embedded memory and storage solutions are designed and approved for reliable operation over a wide temperature range. The products are verified at temperature corners and prestressed with a burn-in operating functional test (Test During Burn In – TDBI).
