NAND Gets Push from Datalight, Data I/O
Redmond, WA -- Datalight and Data I/O Corp. announced a joint technology effort aimed to ease the task of bringing NAND Flash products to market.
As market demand for increased memory in electronic products has surged, designers of new products increasingly use NAND Flash memories in new designs to capture a cost advantage. The challenge is that NAND memories require bad-blocks to be detected and managed while writing to the device. The joint effort hopes to enable NAND flash users to leverage performance capabilities, shortening the development cycle and ensuring accurate handling of bad blocks.
Datalight specializes in system software to help OEMs add value to embedded devices. Data I/O is a provider of manual and automated device programming systems for programmable flash technologies.
