FlashFX Tera

Comprehensive Flash Memory Management

FlashFX Tera is a flash management solution that frees developers from the volatility and constraints of single-source flash memory software. Versatility allows fast integration with over 300 flash chip part numbers. Dynamic chip select provides run-time flexibility of using just one driver image, saving money and lowering supply-line risks during production. Pre-written support includes SLC and MLC NAND and NOR parts from top manufacturers (Intel, Micron, Samsung, Toshiba, Numonyx and Spansion), fusion flash (such as Samsung OneNAND, FlexOneNAND or Spansion OrNAND), and application processor flash controllers (like Freescale MX and Texas Instruments OMAP). Our high performance, multi-threaded flash drivers provide superior wear-leveling, bad block management, garbage collection and fast read/write speeds.

How FlashFX Tera Works

FlashFX Tera provides all the benefits of FlashFX Pro. In addition, FlashFX Tera enables OEMs to use raw MLC NAND flash memory in their products. Manufacturers of products such as MP3 players, smartphones, and personal navigators can choose from a broad range of raw MLC NAND flash parts as an alternative to the more expensive managed NAND, potentially lowering the cost of and enabling faster performance for these devices.
