Samsung Electronics has announced the start of mass production of 128-gigabyte (GB) of ultra-fast flash memory technology based Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 2.0, for use in the current flagship smartphone. UFS 2.0 – this is the most advanced in the world JEDEC-compatible specification for flash drives next generation.

“With the launch of mass production of ultra UFS flash memory with the largest capacity in the industry, we make a significant contribution to it to provide more advanced mobile experience for consumers – said Ji Baek Ho (Jee-ho Baek), senior vice president, Memory Sales and Marketing of Samsung Electronics. – In the future, we will continue to increase the number of our storage solutions, high-capacity, stimulating further growth of the market premium memory. “

UFS flash memory from Samsung uses the Command Queue – a technology that increases its instruction to the SSD-drives through the serial interface, which significantly increases processing speed compared with 8-bit parallel interface based on standard eMMC. As a result, the performance of reading random access news from Samsung is 19,000 IOPS (Input / Output Operations Per Second – the number of input / output operations per second), which is 2.7 times faster than the speed eMMC 5.0, the most common today type of internal memory for high-performance smartphones. And it’s more than 12 times faster than random reads of 1500 IOPS, which provides a standard high-speed memory card. Also, this technology provides high-speed sequential read and write, increasing productivity to the level of SSD. Additionally, a new flash memory from Samsung to reduce power consumption by 50%. It is expected that the new solution from Samsung will significantly improve system performance.

Samsung believes that in the future UFS-solutions will support the needs of the market of mobile devices class high-end while the eMMC-solutions will be used for mobile devices, the average price category.

Performance trends for writing random access of 14,000 IOPS, which is 28 times faster than a conventional external memory card, allowing the decision to provide playback UHD-video and smooth operation in multitasking, significantly improving the user experience.

New UFS flash memory from Samsung will be produced in versions of 128 GB, 64 GB, and 32 GB. With the capacity, twice the capacity of the line products eMMC company Samsung, Samsung’s new product will be the best solution for data storage for high-performance mobile devices.

To provide greater flexibility for their customers, Samsung delivers ePoP (embedded package on package) solution that can be installed directly on the logic chip, occupying about 50% less space.

Samsung Electronics has announced the release of innovative components for mobile devices of the next generation. Represented by an 8-megapixel sensor with a color filter RWB (Red-White-Blue / Red-White-Blue) based on proprietary technology ISOCELL for the front camera, as well as integrated circuit NFC (Near Field Communication) with improved radio frequency performance.

The new 8 megapixel CMOS-sensor image with color filter technology based RWB ISOCELL – model Samsung S5K4H5YB – provides high image quality when shooting in low light conditions and high color accuracy. Combining technology and capabilities ISOCELL recently developed by Samsung color filter RWB, this sensor provides high-quality digital images.

Samsung ISOCELL proprietary technology significantly increases sensitivity and allows you to effectively control the collection of photons, which provides highly accurate color reproduction even in low light conditions. Creating special physical barriers between each pixel ISOCELL technology reduces cross interference power at 30% and 30% capacity increase rate of the potential well (FWC, full well capacity) in comparison with a conventional pixel sensors BSI (Back Side Illumination).

The new color filter RWB further improves sensitivity and color reproduction, allowing you to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of more than 3 dB (decibels) in low light conditions. In addition, unlike other types of configurations of color filters, a high similarity between the RWB and the RGB model eliminates the need to convert RGB RWB, which prevents the undesirable change in color.

Launching a new 8 megapixel sensor RWB ISOCELL Samsung’s mass production of the product is scheduled for the second quarter of this year.

The new IC NFC (model S3FWRN5P) provides significantly improved RF performance – more than 100% in card emulation mode and 20% in reading mode compared to its predecessor.

The integrated circuit equipped with the one of the small antennas are currently on the market, which is supplied in the form factor of the film type and can be installed on the smartphone without additional auxiliary devices. This allows manufacturers of mobile devices further advantages in the design, enabling to meet current consumer demand for thinner and lighter device.

NFC integrated circuit meets the strict requirements of POS-terminals to pay in retail outlets and fully supports a new generation of smartphones. With the integration of flash memory Samsung, produced on 45-nanometer process, the new IC NFC also helps customers save time and resources for further development and certification.

The new IC NFC already put into mass production, the reference sample of the product is already available for manufacturers.
