Overview

Mobiveil’s Enterprise Flash Controller (EFC) is a highly flexible and configurable design targeted for enterprise storage applications like SSD. The EFC is used to access the external NAND flash for high speed transactions of multiple pages of read or write data taking advantage of the pipeline performance of newer enterprise NAND flash devices. The controller architecture allows control of most all ONFI3 and toggle devices with flexible addressing schemes.

The controller’s simple architecture can take advantage of high performance needs of the newest devices do to all sequences being software defined.

The controller can provide sequences that change according to the needs of the device. The controller can provide high performance targeted at any single device including any special function that the device provides. Commands along with sequencing are also software defined to provide the user with the best control of the device possible.

The controller is based upon command phases. The command phase, the data phase, and the report phase. The controller provides the ability to have multiple commands queued and in progress to different chip selects or LUN's at the same time providing parallel access to all devices attached to the bus.

Optimizing flash memory selection for automotive & other uses

Over the past few years, there has been an increasing demand for NOR Flash memory for use in automotive applications. Initial uses included applications such as infotainment and engine control. However, as advancements in automotive computerization continue to progress, NOR Flash memory is seeing use in a wider range of various automotive applications.

When Memory Shortages Change Architecture Decisions

For decades, the choice between embedded and external Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) in semiconductor designs has been straightforward. External memory, such as EEPROM, NOR Flash, or NAND Flash, offered lower cost per bit and greater flexibility, making a two-die architecture the default choice across a wide range of applications. That assumption is now being challenged.

How silicon and circuit optimizations help FPGAs offer lower size, power and cost in video bridging applications

FPGAs are at home in the world of multi-gigabit-per-second signal conversion and bridging. In high-bandwidth telecoms, network and data center equipment, the FPGA is a mainstay of system designs, offering a valuable combination of high-speed SerDes capability, extensive logic resources, and programmability, giving designers the flexibility to modify features and functions without changing their board layout.

Software Architecture for DO-160 Qualification of STM32H7 based systems

Any hardware that is to be installed in an aerospace system must undergo the DO-160 qualification testing. The DO-160 qualification testing includes different environmental conditions and test procedures like temperature, humidity, vibration, waterproofness, fluid susceptibility, fungus resistance, shock and crash, RF emission, and so on.

Enabling AI Vision at the Edge

Computer vision has made tremendous advances in the last several years due to the proliferation of AI technology. The intersection of big data and massive parallel computing changed the way in which machines are programmed to understand unstructured 2D and 3D data, such as video feeds from cameras.
