High Speed NANO Flash-100 flash memory for ARM core microcontrollers

The functionality and high speed capabilities of embedded microcontrollers require much flash memory with much faster access rates. Toshiba has developed NANO FLASH which merges two features: high speed programming, based on NAND flash memory cell device technology; and NOR flash memory circuit technology. Features: The newly developed NANO FLASH-100 achieves a zero-wait cycle during random access at 100MHz operation, the industry's top class. This allows the core in ARM-based microcontrollers to fully utilize the superior performance and code density of applications requiring high speed and large capacity memory. Using the ultra low power technology of NANO FLASH microcontrollers, a wide range of high speed, low power applications developments are available. Toshiba will follow up on its first NANO FLASH-100 product, TMPM440F10XBG, with additional ARM core-based products and will continue the proactive development of flash memory technologies for embedded microcontrollers.
