MLC vs SLC NAND Flash in Embedded Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are two primary types of NAND flash technology: Single-level cell and multilevel cell. Multi-level cell was developed more recently, to achieve higher bit density, so that a much higher capacity flash chip could be created for a given die size. MLC might allow you to save cost for flash chips and save board space by reducing the number of chips you need. But before you rush to design MLC into your embedded system, there are a few things you should know, and other options you can consider.

A Mixed Flash Translation Layer Structure for SLC-MLC Combined Flash Memory System
NAND flash memory is a nonvolatile storage that is often used for its advantages of small size, non-mechanical, shock resistance, and low power consumption. With the recent drop in its price, NAND flash memory is on the verge of taking place of hard disk drive. Depending on the number of bits stored in a single cell, flash memory can be divided into SLC (single-level cell) NAND and MLC (multi-l...

The multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory technology enables multiple bits of information to be stored on a single cell, thus making it possible to increase the density of the memory without increasing the die size. For most MLC flash memories, each cell can be programmed as a single-level cell or a multi-level cell during runtime. Therefore, it has a potential to achieve both the high perfo...

متن کاملWhite Paper: Implementing MLC NAND Flash for Cost-Effective, High-Capacity Memory
Introduction Multi-Level Cell (MLC) technology greatly reduces flash die size to achieve a breakthrough cost structure. It does this by storing 2 bits of data per physical cell instead of the traditional 1 bit per cell, using Binary flash technology. But the increased density of the MLC flash media has grave consequences in terms of data reliability and performance. A number of flash vendors, w...
