Micron NAND Flash
Micron NAND Flash offer higher density with solid performance and endurance for mass storage applications. This leading-edge technology is offered in a diverse portfolio of MLC and SLC NAND with distinct features, functionality, and performance. Multilevel cell (MLC) NAND is popular for higher-density storage like SSDs, tablets, smart phones, and other wireless devices. Single-level cell (SLC) NAND is ideal for high-performance, high-endurance and low-power small form-factor applications.
Features
- Write Protect is a basic, temporary security feature whereby the entire device can be locked/unlocked by toggling a hardware pin.
- Block Lock is a temporary security feature that works in conjunction with the LOCK hardware pin, offering the flexibility of locking certain groups of memory blocks.
- Lock Tight is a software command that prevents locked blocks from being unlocked and also prevents unlocked blocks from being locked.
- Permanent Block Lock is a software-enabled feature that protects certain blocks of memory permanently.

Nonvolatile Memory Architecture for Set-Top Boxes
Traditionally, NOR flash was the first choice nonvolatile memory used by STB manufacturers who preferred to use it for storing software because of its extensive security features. As STBs became more memory intensive, NAND flash was added to store the noncritical software and data. But a standard NAND flash device lacks the security features needed to protect an STB.
