Silicon Motion at a Glance
14. Full end-to-end data path protection no bit errors sent to
host
• Full data error detection with recovery engines
• Data recovery algorithm can effectively detect any error in the SSD data path, including hardware (i.e.
ASIC) errors, firmware errors and memory errors arising in SRAM, DRAM or NAND.
15. NANDXtend® ECC technology extending the service life of
SSD
To combine LDPC hard and soft decoding with RAID protection.
• The 1st level : BCH and RS ECC using NAND shift-read-retries.
• The 2nd level : LDPC (low-density parity check) code
• The 3rd level : Group page RAID algorithm (an efficient redundant backup) to reduce potential dPPM
16. Hybrid Zone: ideal blend of cost, reliability and performance
To take advantage both of the low latency of SLC cells and the high memory density of TLC cells.
• The implementation of SLC memory is ideal for high reliability and fast access— assigning SLC to boot
code for instance
• To preserve a portion of the NAND medium for higher density MLC/TLC uses.
