Solid-state drive features tiny 12 x 18 x 1.8 mm chip scale package

2 and 4 Gbyte devices have easy to use PATA interface

Using a standard parallel ATA interface and chip scale package-on-package technology, the Z-P140 PATA solid-state disk features a tiny 12 x 18 x 1.8 mm size, making it attractive for mobile products. The 2 and 4 Gbyte devices enables smaller and easier storage design.

The IC offers read speeds of 40 Mbytes/s and write speeds of 30 Mbytes/s, with power usage of 300 mW active and only 1.1 mW in sleep mode. It uses 3.3v I/O and control voltages and operates from 0° to 70° C.

The IC will be an optional part of Intel’s Menlow platform for mobile Internet devices debuting in 2008. (Ea/10,000 approx. $30, 2 Gbyte; $50, 4 Gbyte—production Q1.)
