1Gb OctaFlash™ Memory Enables Real-time Execution-In-Place, 3D-like GUI Experience in S™32H7S8 Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) Kit
HSINCHU,
"We rely on our years-long partnership with Macronix to ensure the flash memory we select for our MCU platforms meets our key criteria: performance, density and reliability," said
"Macronix enjoys a rich history of collaboration with ST in development platforms that enable designers to quickly and efficiently develop products featuring high-performance MCUs and industry-leading flash memory," said
The highly advanced S™32H7R/S devices embed one Hexa-SPI and one Octal-SPI ports supporting the OctaBus™ interface, which comprises Macronix's OctaFlash 8 I/O NOR and OctaRAM™ memories. OctaBus memory devices have been designed to meet current and emerging trends of demanding applications that require extremely high performance, reliability and enhanced user experience.
The MX25UM/UW OctaFlash memories meet the growing demand for "instant-on" performance and real-time system responsiveness for external memories in automotive, industrial and consumer applications. The ultra-high-performance OctaBus memory products can perform up to an operational frequency of 250MHz with 500MB/s read throughput, which may be the industry's fastest. The OctaBus memory devices enable system architects to process customers' demands, and equipped with a rich graphical user interface and may achieve ultra-fast response times.
The MX25LW/UW OctaBus memory family has exceptional features for efficient management of over-the-air (OTA) software updates and data logging. Those features of the MX25LW/UW family are also a natural extension of the execute-in-place (XIP) memory for S™32 MCUs. OctaBus memory offered in densities up to 2Gb can support the most advanced graphical user interfaces that leverage on the graphic accelerator embedded in S™32H7R/S.
The Arm ® Cortex ®-M7-based S™32H7 MCU series leverages ST's NVM technology to reach the industry's highest benchmark scores for Cortex-M-based microcontrollers. The S™32H7R/S family of 32-bit microcontrollers is designed to offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users. It offers products combining very high performance, real-time capabilities, digital signal processing, low-power and low-voltage operation, and connectivity, while maintaining full integration and ease of development.
