UFS Goes Mainstream

UniversalFlash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.

Design IP Faster: Introducing the C~ High-Level Language

In this paper, we introduce a new high-level, dataflow programming language called C~ (“C flow”) that further increases productivity by raising the level of abstraction from behavioral descriptions, while overcoming the limitations of C for hardware design. We present the syntax and semantics of this language, and the framework that provides hardware and software code generation. This paper illustrates the benefits of using C~ for hardware design of a IEEE 802.3 MAC, synthesized for FPGA and for 90nm CMOS technology.

Universal Flash Storage: Mobilize Your Data

These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniProSM as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.

Can MIPI and MDDI Co-Exist?

Since MIPI and MDDI standards both target interfaces to cameras and displays on mobile devices, are two separate standards really needed?
