Processor Solutions for SSDs and Flash Controllers

Overview

Basic flash memory control functions such as wear-leveling, error correction, and freeing up unused memory are efficiently handled with low-power ARC® processors, while higher performance ARC processors support the multi-tasking and faster read/write requirements of SSDs.
