Stag’s Effective Solution to Program Giga Bits of NAND Flash in Just Seconds

Previously NAND Flash was considered suitable to store data, and only NOR Flash was considered suitable to store source code, preferably boot code - but now NAND Flash is increasingly being used to store data and source code/boot code. This is happening because prices of NAND Flash memories are not only considerably lower compared to NOR Flash memories, but they also offer much more storage capacity, and almost ten times more erase cycles than NOR Flash Memories. By 2007, 16Gbit NAND Flash memory should be available in market. Although all this sounds very good, programming of NAND Flash offers three challenges, namely;

1. Increased programming time
2. Random Bad Block
3. Bit Error

With our Sigma-Blaster™ technology on the P804, Stag has tackled these challenges in very effective ways.

Increased programming time: With the technology employed in Stag's P804, programming time of NAND Flash memories is reduced from minutes to seconds. Entire 1Gbit of NAND Flash in just 12 seconds!

Random Bad Block: Stag has developed an innovative method of handling Bad Blocks in absolute parallel Gang environment, which can be easily adapted to FAT, JFFS or any file system including customer specified methods for handling Bad Blocks.

Bit Error: We offer rerun of Auto-Page algorithm for the page in whichever page this bit exists. This way we guarantee full and reliable utilization of a good block.
