WIDE TEMPERATURE SUPPORT
Swissbit‘s embedded memory and storage
solutions are designed and approved for reliable
operation over a wide temperature range. The
products are verified at temperature corners
and pre-stressed with a burn-in operating
functional test (Test During Burn In-TDBI).
ESD AND EMI SAFE
The product designs are in line with the latest
regulations for electrostatic discharge and electro-
magnetic interference. Swissbit strives to exceed
these limits with our own in-house technology
and production capabilities, for example with
System-in-Package (SiP) competence.
SHOCK AND VIBRATION
Robustness is one of our key specification
targets. The design, assembly, and use of
selected materials guarantee an extremely
solid design, which has been validated by
extensive testing.
LIFE TIME MONITORING (LTM)
The Swissbit Life Time Monitoring feature
enables users to access the memory device’s
detailed Life Time Status and allows imminent
failure prediction thereby avoiding unexpected
data loss. This feature uses an extended
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology) interface or vendor
specific commands to retrieve Flash product
information.
ZONE PROTECTION
The device allows the configuration of multiple
zones with either no protection, write protection,
or access protected settings. Each zone is secured
with a separate password. A Windows tool and
a programming library are available.
SECURE ERASE (SANITIZE / PURGE) /
FAST ERASE
This feature uses an uninterruptable sequence of
data erase commands. Even a power-o can’t
stop the process, which will continue upon
restoration of power. The optional enhanced
feature allows the customer to sanitize the data
according to dierent standards like DoD, NSA,
IREC, etc. The purge algorithm can be started by a
software command or through a hardware pin.
CONFORMAL COATING
Swissbit offers a special protective coating on
selected products. This coating is a thin
polyurethane film, which protects against
aggressive environmental conditions such as
dust, moisture, or corrosive gas.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The sensor allows the host hardware or software
to monitor memory device temperature to
improve data reliability in the target application
environment.
HEAT SPREADER
Heat spreader for DRAM modules allow
temperature hot spots to be dissipated over
a larger surface area and improve the
module’s reliability.
POWER FAIL PROTECTION AND
RECOVERY
Intelligent power fail protection and recovery
protects data from unexpected power loss.
During an unintentional shutdown, firmware
routines and an intelligent hardware architecture
ensure that no corruption of user or system
data will occur.
WEAR LEVELING
Sophisticated wear leveling and bad block
management ensure that Flash cells are sparingly
and equally used to prolong the device‘s life.
READ-ONLY OPTIMIZED
In many industrial applications, content is
written to the NAND Flash once and is only read
afterwards. For such cases, the firmware can be
optimized to guarantee the highest possible
data retention and less read disturb.
TRIM SUPPORT
The TRIM command allows the operating
system to inform the SSD about which blocks
of data are no longer considered in use and
can be wiped internally, which increases
system performance during subsequent write
accesses. With TRIM support, data scrap, which
would otherwise slow down future write
operations to the involved blocks, can be
deleted in advance.
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
Electronic devices with lower power consumption
increase the value of the product, because they
decrease energy cost, prolong battery life, and
reduce heat generation in the device and hence
require less cooling.
