Diodes’ Power Switch Enhances Power-rail Management in SSDs

　　Diodes' new single-channel high-side power switch features three different selectable slew rates so that wider capacitance loads can be handled while keeping inrush currents down.　　Diodes Inc. has launched a new versatile single-channel high-side power switch that features three different selectable slew rates so that wider capacitance loads can be handled while keeping inrush currents down, ensuring system stability. The DIODES AP22980 power switch is targeted at the solid-state data storage systems used in portable electronic equipment, computer hardware, and edge-based data center deployments.　　The N-channel MOSFET, with a built-in charge pump inside the AP22980, has an extremely low Rds(ON) of 5.1m? enabling loads reaching 6A while minimizing voltage drops and power losses in high current loading applications. By having a separate VBIAS pin, the minimum input voltage that it is capable of supporting is significantly lower, resulting in a wider input voltage range that can be covered—from 0.285V to 5.5V—enabling greater application flexibility.　　With 60?A (typical) quiescent supply current, the AP22980 is highly optimized for situations where keeping standby power consumption down is a priority. This device has an operational temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. If the junction temperature exceeds 150°C, an overtemperature protection mechanism is triggered.　　The AP22980 three-level selectable slew rate power switches are supplied in the compact W-QFN1520 package that takes up little board space and eases integration.

Half of Notebooks Expected to Have SSDs

　　Solid-state drives (SSDs) will be featured in more than half of notebook PCs produced by OEMs for the first time this year as the result of falling prices, according to market research firm DRAMeXchange.　　SSD suppliers have cut prices to entice PC OEMs to adopt their latest 64/72-layer 3D SSDs, according to DRAMeXchange, which tracks the price of memory chips.　　Contract prices for mainstream SSDs for PC OEMs are expected to decline by 3 to 5 percent in the first quarter in the SATA-SSD sector and 4 to 6 percent in the PCIe-SSD sector, according to DRAMeXchange, a unit of TrendForce. By contrast, SSD prices rose throughout 2017, the firm said.　　The percentage of notebooks with SSDs was expected to eclipse 50 percent for the first time last year. But SSD pricing remained firm amid strong demand, resulting in the penetration rate topping out at 45 percent, according to DRAMeXchange.　　DRAMeXchange expects pricing for SSDs to remain weak in the second quarter, as suppliers continue to expand their 64/72-layer 3D SSD capacity while demand remains relatively weak, resulting in oversupply.

Micron Puts 64-Layer 3D in Enterprise <span style='color:red'>SSDs</span>

Micron Puts 64-Layer 3D in Enterprise SSDs

　　Micron Technology's first enterprise SATA SSD using its 64-layer 3D NAND isn't a whole lot different than its predecessor, and that's the point.　　The company just introduced its 5200 series SSDs designed for virtualized workloads that rotating media can't handle, such as online transaction processing, virtual desktop infrastructure and media streaming. In a telephone interview with EE Times, Matt Shaine, a Micron product manager, said the new SATA SSDs draw great deal from the 5100-series launched in 2016. “It's been a tremendous success,” Shaine said.　　However, the company believes it's the first 64-layer 3D NAND SSD for the enterprise market, he said.　　The 5200 SSD has the same architecture as its predecessor, including the same controller. The main changes are the use of Micron's TLC 64-layer NAND, said Shaine, while using the same design. "It's a taller sky scraper," he said.　　Micron expects customers to see a lot of value because of their familiarity with the 5100. They're getting increased speed and the latest lithography, while also reducing qualification times.　　The new SSD comes in two flavors, the 5200 ECO and Pro. The Eco is best suited for scaling storage data center capabilities easily and efficiently with capacities up to 7.68TB in a 2.5-inch form factor. The Pro, also in the same form factor, is an all-purpose drive to power read-intensive workload demands, such as burst-driven transaction waves or sudden high-volume web traffic.　　Aside from using the latest 3D NAND, the 5200 series improves the mean time to failure (MTTF) from 2 million device hours to 3 million. But for the most part, the goal was to enable customers to easily migrate to the 5200 with little reconfiguration, said Shaine. Micron continues to support the 5100 line.　　Moving to the latest process technology and lithography quickly reflects the vision of Micron's relatively new leadership. “We had to take a different look at SSD development,” he said.　　The idea of reuse is important, said Shaine. About 95 percent of the firmware in the 5200 is leveraged from its predecessor. He said customers like continuity and dislike surprises. "It makes their quals go faster," he said.　　What's notably missing is NVMe support, but Shaine said it's in the roadmap going forward. “We see a very stable SATA market that we think is not going anywhere,” he said, adding that Micron thinks the enterprise SSD market is growing, including SAS, SATA and NVMe. Micron has been able to increase its share in the enterprise segment.　　“A good chunk of that has been driven by the 5100,” Shaine said.　　Steve Hanna, Micron's senior product marketing manager for enterprise SSDs, said consistency is key when it comes to this market and enterprise applications. Micron is focused on differentiating itself with quality of service (QoS) and MTTF, he said, and other features such as flex capacity, which enables customers to tune the SSD for specific workloads that are prone to rapid change.　　Hanna said there's lots of room for Micron to build on its recent growth in the enterprise SSD space. In 2016, only 10 percent of servers shipped with SSDs, he said, and in 2017, 18 percent. “The boots-on-the-ground reality is there hasn't been as much penetration as the chatter,” Hanna said.　　Gregory Wong, founder and principal analyst with Forward Insights, said Micron is one of the early entrants to bring 64-layer NAND to the data center. “For them, it's a milestone,” Wong said.　　For the most part, however, the specs are the same for the 5200 SSD as the prior generation. But the MTTF improvement to 3 million compared with 2 million is notable, Wong said. “They were able to move to a new technology, maintain the performance, and have an improved MTTF spec,” he said, something data center customers will look at positively.　　Wong said Micron has been a relatively small player in enterprise SSD market. In 2016, its share was less than 2 percent. “The 5100 got them a lot of traction,” Wong said. He said the company's share is now more than 5 percent.　　“In the bigger scheme of things, it's still relatively small," Wong said. "But doubling their share is quite an achievement. The 5200 is supposed to continue that momentum.”　　There two aspects to the enterprise SSD market — the traditional OEMs and the data center. “If you look at the enterprise OEMs, a lot of flash going in is replacing high performance drives,” said Wong. “On the data center cloud side, it's not a replacement, they're using flash for specific reasons.”　　Enterprise data center deployments are based on budgets, and storage is part of IT costing, Wong said, but for cloud companies such as Google and Facebook, it's about end user experience. “The cloud guys can monetize it,” he said.　　Despite a lot of discussion that this year will see a tipping point in NVMe adoption, there's still a strong demand for SATA SSDs, said Wong, with prices even going up, thanks in part to NAND flash shortages. “Even with the price increases, on the enterprise side the total cost of ownership still makes sense,” he said.　　And although 8TB is now the highest capacity available for SATA SSDs, the mainstream is still using one or two terabyte drives, he said. “When you get to four and eight, companies are thinking of moving to NVMe,” Wong said.

Partnership Puts ReRAM in <span style='color:red'>SSDs</span>

Partnership Puts ReRAM in SSDs

　　Solid state drives (SSDs) are pretty much synonymous with NAND flash, but there have been attempts to use a different persistent memory with varying degrees of success.　　Mobiveil Inc. and Crossbar Inc. recently announced they are collaborating to use resistive random access memory (ReRAM) in an SSD. The collaboration will apply Mobiveil's NVMe SSD IP to Crossbar's ReRAM IP blocks. The goal is to enable 10 times more IOPs at one-tenth of the latencies of flash NVME SSDs to speed up access to frequently requested information in large data centers, the companies told EE Times in a joint telephone interview.　　Mobiveil CEO Ravi Thummarukudy said the company's NVMe, PCIe and DDR3/4 controllers can easily be adapted to accommodate the Crossbar ReRAM architecture, which is capable of six-million 512B IOPS below 10us latency. He said Mobiveil's NVM Express Controller architecture is designed to optimize link and throughput utilization, latency, reliability, power consumption and silicon footprint, and can be used along with its PCI Express (PCIe) controller and Crossbar's ReRAM controller.　　Mobiveil's NVMe controller IP is outfitted with an AXI interface that simplifies integration with FPGAs and SoCs. Other IP subsystem components include PCIe Gen 3.0, DDR3/4, and ONFI controllers. An FPGA development platform includes BSPs and drivers for validating the NVMe IP solution against user applications. Crossbar ReRAM technology, meanwhile, can be integrated in standard 40 nm CMOS logic or produced as a standalone memory chip.　　Thummarukudy said there's been a heightened level of interest in persistent memory since Intel and Micron introduced 3D Xpoint. Mobiveil and Crossbar have been working together for the last year, said Sylvain Dubois, vice president of strategic marketing and business development at Crossbar, and in addition to developing IP for ReRAM-based SSDs, they are also working on incorporating ReRAM into NV-DIMMs. “The NV-DIMM is the natural evolution of what we're doing with the SSD," Dubois said.　　The key benefit of using ReRAM in an SSD is that it reduces storage controller complexity by removing large portions of the background memory accesses needed for garbage collection. It also provides independent, atomic erasure by eliminating the need to build large-block memory arrays in flash designs.　　Neither Mobiveil nor Crossbar are building actual SSDs or NV-DIMMs. Rather, they have developed the IP so others can build their own solutions, said Thummarukudy.　　The Mobiveil/Crossbar collaboration is not the first attempt to make SSDs out of something other NAND flash, said Jim Handy, principal analyst at Objective Analysis, including failed attempts to make DRAM-based SSDs. This effort seems similar to Intel's Optane offering, he said. Handy added that Intel and Micron are adamant that Optane doesn't use phase change memory (PCM), considered a subset of ReRAM.　　Intel Optane is the only 3D Xpoint product to date, said Handy, and its chips are similar to that of Crossbar's ReRAM. “The chips themselves are both close to DRAM speeds but persistent," Handy said. "You put them behind an NVMe controller and its ends up being very fast."　　Handy said the biggest disappointment around 3D Xpoint is that Micron and Intel were promoting speeds a thousand times faster than that of NAND flash, but in reality it's only been seven or eight times faster.　　Handy expects Mobiveil and Crossbar's ReRAM-based SSD will suffer the same fate. “What's happening is the NVMe interface becomes a large part of the delay," he said.　　When Intel pushed the NVMe specification, it made sure to put in hooks that would support 3D Xpoint well before the company even announced it had 3D Xpoint. “That was definitely in the back of their minds," Handy said. "They weren't just optimizing an interface for NAND flash."　　Although there are customers who might want to build a ReRAM-based SSD, it's a small market, said Handy. “It's going to be pretty expensive," he added, saying its not dissimilar to the NV-DIMM market.　　“The current NV-DIMMS are more expensive than DRAM, they're way more expensive than SSDs, but offer blazing speed for people who want to pay for it," Handy said.　　Handy said the Crossbar ReRAM-based SSDs will find a niche with customers willing to pay top dollar for persistence and performance, adding that Intel is selling Optane at a loss because it helps the company sell more expensive processors.　　SSDs with 3D NAND are not in any danger, said Handy. “They will be far more economical than anything made of out Crossbar ReRAM," he said.

Micron Pushes Capacity Threshold in NVMe SSDs

　　Micron Technology unveiled its second generation of NVM Express (NVMe) SSDs at the Flash Memory Summit, using its 3D NAND to push capacities past 10TB.　　In an advance telephone briefing with EE Times, Dan Florence, SSD product manager for Micron's Storage Business Unit, said the 9200 Series of NVMe SSDs were built from the ground up to break the shackles of legacy hard drive interfaces. The new storage portfolio is designed to address surging data demands while at the same time maximizing data center efficiency so customers can improve their overall total cost of ownership, he said, and is the storage foundation for the Micron SolidScale Platform, an NVMe over Fabric architecture ahead of standards development, announced earlier this year.　　Florence said the Micron 9200 SSD is up to 10 times faster than the fastest SATA SSDs with transfer speeds up to 4.6 GB/s and up to one million read IOPS, making them ideal for performance, high-capacity use cases as application/database acceleration, high frequency trading, and high-performance computing. “NVMe just as an interface offers a lot advantages over the legacy interfaces that were really built for spinning media," he said. “It cuts out a huge chunk of latency and obviously because it sits on the PCIe bus it offers a higher bandwidth which allows you to get much higher IOPS."　　NVMe also offers better ease of use of previous iterations of PCIe, Florence added, which had a lot of custom drivers. The industry standard that allows for NVMe to be plugged into pretty much any system with any operating system is helping to fuel its adoption.　　The 9200 series is three times the capacity of Micron's previous generation of NVMe SSDs, ranging from 1.6TB to 11TB. “This will be the first monolithic NVME SSD that's larger than 10TB," said Florence. This allows for lower power consumption and makes it easier for the operating system to manage. The U.2 form factor also of the new SSDs also allows for more density per server.　　Depending on the use case and configuration, Micron is claiming the new NVMe SSDs outdo the faster hard drives by 300 to 1200 times for random performance, and three to seven time the random performance of the fastest SSD. Florence said random performance has become increasingly important for activities such as online transaction processing and database applications, as they use a random IO access pattern. “A lot of different data analyses workloads are similar. The sequential is more important for data ingest where you're working with large pipes of data." This includes user-generated content, he said, as well as massive amounts of Internet of Things data.　　NVMs SSDs can essentially use most of the PCIe bandwidth, sand Florence, and most applications do require some level of random IO. “For a growing number of applications, the amount of data you can move and work with is what drives value. Dollar per IOPS becomes more important and NVMe clearly leads in that area."　　For this latest batch of SSDs, Micron is using third-party controllers, said Florence; Microsemi, to be specific. In Micron's most recent quarterly update, and his first as CEO, Sanjay Mehrotra said having stronger controller and firmware capabilities with a roadmap for both internal and external controllers was a focus the company, as was having a mix of system level solutions in the NAND portfolio.　　Micron's 9000 Series includes its FlexCapacity firmware, which provides advanced management and optimization tools to allow customers to tweak the drive so they can take full advantages of its capabilities and extend its lifespan, said Florence, but the company will continue to segment its SSDs product lines for specific workloads for those customers who just want to drop in a drive without customizations. “There is a demand for preconfigured devices."　　Matthew Kimball, senior analyst for servers and storage at Moor Insights & Strategy, said the early and obvious adopters of NVMe has been data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. “But there are also HPC applications that are already taking advantage of the performance gains seen by deploying NVMe." He believes that as NVMe technology “mainstreams", there are other obvious candidates that maybe aren't considered today due to cost factors, such as server virtualization and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). “With VDI in particular, organizations will not only see better virtual desktop performance, but NVMe goes a long way to reducing the issues associated with boot storms – the massive amounts of users logging in at the beginning of a work shift."　　Kimball said the high capacity of the Micron NVMe SSDs it significant for both the “early-ish" adopters and the larger market. “The number of devices and edge points that comprise IoT leads to a crazy amount of data being collected on a minute-by-minute basis," he said. “Sifting through, analyzing and turning that data into useful information means having to deal with datasets of unprecedented sizes."　　Although 10TB and beyond may seem large today, it won't seem large tomorrow, Kimball added. For the mainstream users, this storage density per drive, per server and per rack means a big reduction in direct and indirect costs as there will fewer servers and racks to buy, less floor space to consume, and lower management and operational costs, he said, all of which are significant.　　The flexibility of the firmware to tune drives for the unique performance characteristics and needs of an application will also be appealing for many uses cases, he said. “Take HPC as an example. It's a big umbrella workload category with applications that have varied needs. To be able to tune my storage environment so that I can attack a dataset faster allows me to cut down my analysis time, sometimes significantly."　　For the foreseeable future, there doesn't appear to be any barriers to NVMe's momentum, said Kimball. “What's important for any new technology to see adoption at scale is the openness of the technology, standards, protocols and interfaces," said. “I can take a Micron SolidScale box populated with the 9200 NVMe drives and drop that into my existing infrastructure and know that it's going to play well."　　Companies like Micron are being smart in their approach to ensure this easy adoption, Kimball said, as price can also be a big barrier to adoption, so the cost curve on new technology will have to move in a direction where a “server room on Main Street" can afford to purchase it, not just the hyperscale players. “It looks like Micron and others are going to be able to drive competitive pricing."
