The chips will be used in NAND flash modules accompanied by exclusive Samsung 3-bit NAND controllers to initially produce eight gigabyte (GB) micro Secure Digital (microSD) cards.   <br \/>&quot;Introducing cost-efficient, 30nm-class 3-bit technology widens our NAND memory solution base to make NAND even more enticing for increasingly diverse market applications,&quot; said Soo-In Cho, executive vice president and general manager of the Memory Division at Samsung Electronics. &quot;Our 3-bit NAND memory will support the development of more cost-competitive, high-density consumer electronics storage solutions,&quot; he added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/09-12-01\/10b.jpg\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/img\/09-12-01\/10b.jpg', '  ']);\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"samsung 30nm 3-bit mlc\" border=\"0\" alt=\"samsung 30nm 3-bit mlc\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/samsung30nm3bitmlc-jpg.jpg?resize=275%2C206\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"samsung 30nm 3-bit mlc a\" border=\"0\" alt=\"samsung 30nm 3-bit mlc a\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/samsung30nm3bitmlca-jpg.jpg?resize=275%2C206\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Three-bit MLC NAND increases the efficiency of NAND data storage by 50 percent over today&#8217;s pervasive 2-bit MLC NAND chips. Samsung&#8217;s new 30nm-class 3-bit MLC NAND will provide consumers with effective NAND-based storage that can be applied to USB flash drives in addition to a range of micro SD cards.   <br \/>In 2005, Samsung introduced the first 50nm-class, 16Gb MLC NAND memory device, ushering in an era of unprecedented growth for flash memory beyond the high-performance SLC (single-level-cell) market. Mass production of 30nm 3-bit NAND is expected to significantly raise the portion of NAND flash memory production devoted to high densities (32Gb and above), designed to accommodate increased video usage.    <br \/>Other NAND advancements, like the introduction of asynchronous double data rate MLC NAND memory (see separate release issued at 6:00 pm PT) are expected to also contribute greatly to this trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced semiconductor technology solutions, announced today that it commenced the industry&#8217;s first volume production of 3-bit, multi-level-cell (MLC) NAND flash chips using 30-nanometer (nm)-class process technology&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2535],"tags":[942,943,939,941,706],"class_list":["post-13603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-web-news","tag-flash","tag-memory","tag-mlc","tag-nand","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13603\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
