Building a NAND flash controller with high-level synthesis

In this article, we describe how we were able to apply a commercial HLS tool (Cadence C-to-Silicon Compiler) to a NAND flash controller with an error correction code (ECC) block. The initial ECC design was based on an ECC software program, which led to a large area due to two large arrays. We then used our domain knowledge of the ECC coding theorem to structure the code for hardware implementation.

eMMC: The Embedded Storage Powering On-Device AI

In today's world of increasingly intelligent devices, efficient and reliable storage is paramount. Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) has emerged as a crucial component that acts as the internal solid-state non-volatile storage for a wide range of devices handling on-device AI processing. Think of it as a compact, high-performing internal drive built directly into your phone, smart camera, or other embedded systems. This blog explores what makes eMMC such a valuable solution, especially for AI applications:

Concealable physical unclonable functions using vertical NAND flash memory

Here, the authors propose a concealable PUF using V-NAND flash memory by generating PUF data through weak Gate-Induced-Drain-Leakage (GIDL) erase. The differences in doping depth among V-NAND strings arising from the fabrication cause variations in GIDL erase performance. The resulting V-NAND PUF demonstrated ideal security characteristics while maintaining 100% accuracy under variations in read count and temperature.
