Solid State System Co., Ltd. selects Andes AndesCore N9 for Its SSS6131 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Flash Controller Highly Demand for Storage Application
HSINCHU, TAIWAN -- February 14, 2018 -- Andes Technology Corporation, the leading Asia-based supplier of small, low-power, high performance 32/64-bit embedded CPU cores, today announced that Solid State System Co., Ltd. (3S) has licensed the mid-range AndesCore™ N903A for the SSS6131 USB 3.1 Gen 1 flash controller chip. The chip is being designed into USB flash drives now. USB 3.1 Gen 1 is capable of data transfer speeding up to 5Gbps. The 5-stage pipeline N9 is ideal for providing USB 3.1 Gen 1 flash control functions such as read, write, erase, and static and dynamic wear-leveling functions unique to managing flash.
“Andes N9 provided the flexibility and performance required for our industry leading SSS6131 USB 3.1 Gen 1 controller,” said Cheng Liou R&D Vice President Solid State System Co., Ltd. “It allows our design to exploit the performance enhancements of the USB 3.1 Gen1 standard including an interface bandwidth increase up to 5Gbps. USB 3.1 Gen1 flash drives have seen considerably increased demand, especially in Asia. Our SSS6131 USB 3.1 Gen 1 controller has benefitted from this demand.”
“3S is a longtime Andes customer and we value their business.” said Andes Technology Corp. CTO and Senior Vice President Charlie Hong-Men Su. “We are extremely pleased that Andes N9 CPU core, which is more power efficient (DMIPS/mW) than our major competitor, contributes to the success of 3S SSS6131 USB 3.1 Gen 1 flash controller chip in the market place.”
In the Transparency Market Research report “USB 3.0 Flash Drives Market (Manufacturing Process - Conventional and Chip-on-Board; Capacity - Below 4 GB, 4 GB to 16 GB, 16 GB to 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB and Above) - Global (The U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific) Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2016 – 2020,” the flash drive market is expected to grow 23.5 percent from 2016 to 2020, reaching over $3B by 2020. “Asia Pacific had been the leading region in the global USB 3.0 flash drives market in terms of production volume as well as demand volume,” the report declared. (USB 3.0, the third major revision to the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard, has been renamed USB 3.1 Gen 1 by the USB Implementers Forum).
