Moreover, Kioxia said that as in-vehicle infotainment systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) become more complex, storage requirements for in-vehicle applications are also growing.
Moreover, UFS is well suited to support the high performance and density needs of these applications. The new devices support a wide temperature range (-40°C to +105°C), are AEC-Q100 Grade2 qualified, and have enhanced reliability for increasingly complex in-vehicle applications.
In terms of performance, the sequential read and write performance of the UFS version 3.1 device is significantly improved over the previous generation device, 2.2 times and 6 times, respectively. These performance improvements help speed up system startup and over-the-air (OTA) updates.
