Wednesday, July 27, 2022

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NEO Semiconductor, a leading developer of innovative architectures for NAND flash and DRAM memory, today announced the release of its second-generation X-NAND architecture. X-NAND Gen2 builds upon the award-winning X-NAND technology unveiled in 2020. New patent-pending technology developed by NEO advances X-NAND architecture, allowing 3D NAND flash programming (i.e., data writes) to occur in parallel using fewer planes. As a result, X-NAND Gen2 delivers twenty times faster performance than conventional 3D NAND flash. The X-NAND architecture deploys as a design solution compatible with current manufacturing technologies and processes, providing impressive competitive advantages to semiconductor manufacturers.

Key Points: 
  • NEO Semiconductor designed and developed X-NAND, the world's fastest 3D NAND flash memory architecture, in response to the inefficiencies of conventional 3D NAND flash, which lead to performance bottlenecks in business systems and consumer devices.
  • "While each generation of flash memory substantially lowers costs, the 2nd generation of X-NAND significantly increases flash memory performance and enables NAND flash solutions that can achieve even greater compelling value."
  • In 2020, Flash Memory Summit presented NEO Semiconductor with the 'Most Innovative Flash Memory Startup' award.
  • The company presented the X-NAND architecture at Flash Memory Summit 2020 conference and won the Best of Show Award for the Most Innovative Flash Memory Startup.
