Serial SLC NAND Flash Memory Market Analysis

The global trend of consumer electronics, the increased number of IoT devices, and the advanced communication are fuelling the Serial SLC NAND flash memory market growth.

Serial SLC NAND Flash Memory Market Overview

Serial SLC NAND flash memory is a nonvolatile, high-performance storage technology that is specifically tailored for situations where reliability, endurance, and speed are of utmost importance. In comparison to multi-level cell (MLC) or triple-level cell (TLC) NAND, SLC only keeps one bit of data per cell, which results in faster data access, fewer error occurrences, and a longer life span. As a result, Serial SLC NAND becomes the perfect source for power supply in industrial, automotive, networking, and embedded systems sectors where stable performances and data integrity are of vital importance. The serial interface, most commonly Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), helps designers to integrate the system with less pin count and board complexity than parallel NAND.
