Press Release Summary:
Suited for portable storage applications, bNAND bootable NAND flash features built-in flash controller and USB interface. It includes UDRW Technology and can be configured to various drive configurations: CD-ROM partition, Flash partition, and Hidden Memory Zone. Integral, hidden UniqueID can be embedded in application to restrict operation to specific bNAND, preventing unauthorized copies. Offered in 1 and 2 GB capacities, product offers 17 MBps read and 6 MBps write performance.
Original Press Release:
Hagiwara Launches Intelligent One-Chip USB Flash Storage to Help Protect Software I/P in Embedded Applications.
IRVINE, Calif., March 30 -- Hagiwara Sys-Com US Co., Ltd. (HSC-US), the industry leader in semiconductor application products for the cutting-edge consumer and industrial electronics -- introduces "bNAND", a bootable NAND flash with built-in flash controller and USB interface, measures at a mere 12mmx18mmx1.2mm. Enhanced with Hagiwara Sys-Com's patented UDRW Technology, the bNAND can be configured to various drive configurations: a CD-ROM partition (read-only access), a Flash partition (read/write access) and Hidden Memory Zone.
The CD-ROM partition can be used to store the OS and prevent accidental or malicious erasure, overwrites, modifications and infection by viruses.
The Hidden Memory Zone, which is invisible to the OS, can be used to store passwords, credentials and serial numbers. The Hidden Memory Zone is scalable and can also be used to store application components, backup files, or even the entire application.
Also each bNAND possesses a hidden UniqueID. This UniqueID can be embedded in the application, restricting operation to a specific bNAND with the matching UniqueID only, thus preventing unauthorized copies of the application to other storage mediums.
Features Overview:
-- One-Chip Flash Data Storage
-- High Capacity -- available in two capacities, 1GB and 2GB.
-- High Performance -- 17MB/sec (read), 6MB/sec (write)
