Kioxia will begin selling samples of embedded flash memory for UFS3.1-compliant in-vehicle electronics.

A novel solution that addresses the demand for increasing storage capacity of in-vehicle gadgets is a result of expanded functionality of automotive entertainment systems and ADAS and enhanced connectivity with the outside world. The "BiCS FLASH" 3D flash memory is used, and the range includes four variants with capacities of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Furthermore, as compared to typical embedded flash memory for autos (prior generation 512GB model "THGAFBT2T83BABI"), the sequential read performance is about 2.2 times higher and the sequential write performance is approximately 6 times higher. Contributes to fast system startup and fast OTA system updates.

Furthermore, it is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 compliant and has a working temperature range of -40 to 105 ° C. It is highly reliable in the demanding in-vehicle environment. From today, the new device will be available as a sample in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB capacities. After April, 512GB models will be available.
