Rochester Electronics offers SLC and eMMC NAND storage solutions

28 February 2024

Rochester Electronics specializes in providing authorized distribution and licensed manufacturing solutions for obsolete and end-of-life (EOL) components, catering to multiple markets and legacy systems. Memory manufacturers like Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron continuously pour resources into cutting-edge NAND and DRAM storage technologies, vital for sustaining present-day systems and applications. Their devices support leading-edge chip manufacturers, such as Nvidia, Intel and AMD, but there is limited capacity and support available on legacy and mature memory technology, which is where Rochester comes in.

In some cases, the legacy systems do not need or cannot address the higher-density devices being pushedSource: Rochester ElectronicsSource: Rochester Electronics by the cutting-edge manufacturers. For this reason, Rochester has partnered with SkyHigh Memory and ISSI (Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc.), who both specialize in NAND storage with single-level cell (SLC) and embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) solutions. The partnership aims to meet the mature storage needs of customers.

Rochester has a broad range of density and package options for SLC NAND, which provides lower-density and higher-performance solutions. The eMMC offering, which provides compact and cost-effective solutions with a built-in NAND FLASH controller, includes options from SkyHigh covering 4GB to 8GB and from ISSI covering 8GB to 128GB eMMC.

Microprocessors approaching EOL within existing designs still require storage solutions with low-density capabilities. The memory solutions ensure the continuity of supply and continued customer support for these mature microprocessors.

Additionally, for customers requiring processor support, an extensive portfolio of processors provides continued production of numerous legacy and EOL processors through licensing, die banks and die product replications, along with an extensive authorized in-stock finished goods inventory.
