--JEDEC UFS[2] Ver.1.1 Standard Compliant Embedded Memories Combine up to 64GB NAND and a Controller in a Single Package--
TOKYO - Friday, February 8th 2013 [BUSINESS WIRE/ ME NewsWire]
Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced that it has started sample shipments of a 64-gigabyte (GB) embedded NAND flash memory module, the first in the industry equipped with a UFS I/F. The module is fully compliant with the JEDEC UFS Ver.1.1 standard[3] and is designed for application in a wide range of digital consumer products, including smartphones, tablet PCs.
Samples are mainly intended for evaluation of UFS I/F and its protocol in host chipsets and by OS vendors.
Demand continues to grow for large density, high-performance chips that support high resolution video, driven by improved data-processing speeds in host chipsets and wider bandwidths for wireless connectivity.
Toshiba has proved itself an innovator in this key area, and is now reinforcing its leadership by being first in the industry to support samples with a 64GB UFS module.
Toshiba will schedule mass-production and other densities in its line-up according to market demand.

Package
Sample shipment
THGLF0G9B8JBAIE
64GB
169Ball 12×16×1.2mm FBGA
January 2013
Key Features
The JEDECUFSVer.1.1 compliant interface handles essential functions, including writing block management, error correction and driver software. It simplifies system development, allowing manufacturers to minimize development costs and speed up time to market for new and upgraded products.
UFS I/F has a serial I/F. It has the scalability in number of lanes and speed[4].
The new products are sealed in a small FBGA package, 12x16x1.2mm, and have a signal layout compliant with JEDEC UFSVer.1.1.
