Flash memory for entry level phones
Spansion , one of the largest manufacturers of flash memory, announces the beginning of the supply of products of the new "line" called NOR VS. This flash memory is specifically targeted at OEMs developing and manufacturing mobile phones for countries with a rapidly growing market for similar equipment. Russia, by the way, also got into this list. Along with China, India and other “fast-developing” countries.
Under entry level phones, Spansion quite logically implies basic models from various manufacturers. These are devices that have either voice-only functions (ringing and all right) or are equipped with cheap modules, such as low-resolution digital cameras, average scall displays, etc. In general, I mean absolutely cheap phones. Cheap phones, respectively, cheap memory. Reducing the cost of Spansion NOR VS, which includes products with a density of 16 Mbit to 64 Mbit, is made possible by a 30% reduction in the area of ​​the crystal. Thus, OEMs can well save on flash memory and create devices with a lower price, but at the same time with a large amount of "brains" on board.
One of the main advantages of NOR VS is compatibility with existing solutions in the field of interfaces, chipsets, layouts and commands. The technical characteristics of this flash memory are: support for 104 MHz frequency and operation at a supply voltage of 1.8 V.
Spansion plans to start mass production of NOR VS already at the end of this year.
