Huirong Technology Introduces Industry's First Automotive IVI Grade Single-Package SSD Solution

Taipei , December 23, 2014 - Silicon MoTIon Technology Corpora TIon (Nasdaq: SIMO), a global leader in the design and deployment of NAND flash controllers for solid-state storage devices, announced today Launched its automotive-grade PATA and SATA FerriSSD solutions designed for in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems.

The FerriSSD solution is designed to replace SATA and PATA hard drives that have been widely used in embedded applications such as in-vehicle IVI systems. With integrated NAND flash memory and Huirong's industry-leading controllers and small form factor BGA packages, the FerriSSD solution not only runs faster than traditional hard drives, but also offers significant improvements in durability and reliability. The new in-vehicle IVI-class FerriSSD solution is AEC-Q100 compliant and supports wide temperature operation from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius.

Nelson Duann, vice president of product marketing at Huirong Technology, said: "From real-time GPS to Internet multimedia content transmission to smartphone interfaces, the integration of more and more new technologies has made today's car function configuration increasingly rich, and this is The performance and reliability of IVI systems is increasing. Our FerriSSD is a high performance, highly reliable storage solution that is easy to deploy without compromising security or performance."

FerriSSD is a complete embedded storage solution that includes both hardware and firmware to support a wide range of industry-leading features with proprietary technology. Key features include:

• Intelligent detection and protection, self-detection mechanism, built-in temperature sensor to effectively improve the reliability and extend the life of SSD

• SSDLifeGuard® health check software and remote firmware update to ensure that each drive is up and running with the latest firmware

• SLC flash upgrade mode and intelligent data refactoring, these two complementary features ensure fast data access and high-speed continuous data transfer

• Fast hardware security removal and full disk AES encryption for enhanced data protection

• Deep sleep/energy saving mode to reduce power consumption

• System level protection, from voltage surges to potential fire hazard prevention

• Each component is tested to ensure it can operate from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius

• Please type in the text or website address, or the car IVI meets the AEC-Q100 standard requirements.

• 16x20x2mm solder ball pitch 1.0mm, small size BGA package

• PATA or SATA capacity selection up to 128GB
