Serial NAND: A great way to lower your BOM cost
“Embedded applications” has become an umbrella term for some of the most compelling devices available, including intelligent or interactive toys, books and games; web-enabled printers and computer peripherals; and backward-compatible WiMAX boxes. In the past, these embedded designs relied only on serial peripheral interface (SPI) NOR flash for code shadowing, data storage or storing BIOS and firmware. But as embedded applications continue to evolve and require more density, serial NAND devices offer the right option with the lowest cost-per-megabit of any serial flash solution.
