NAND
cell is about half the size of a NOR cell and its production
process is simpler. NAND devices offer higher densities
on the same die size which results in cost savings for
a wide range of customers.
Because
NAND Flash offers higher densities and performances at
lower cost, it is ideal for multimedia system applications
which demand higher data storage. NAND Flash is used in
applications such as 3G mobile phones, digital cameras
and camcorders, PDAs, MP3 players, digital consumer equipment
and removable storage media such as USB disk and Flash
cards. STMicroelectronics' NAND Flash NAND Flash products
are designed to meet the needs of a large and growing
range of applications requiring a wide spectrum of densities
(128Mbit up to 8Gbit and above), different page sizes
(528byte/264word and 2112byte/1056 word with a modular
interface), density-independent footprint, 1.8 and 3V
power supplies and an extensive packaging roadmap.
