Automotive Applications
Storage Demands Accelerate as Automotive Applications Evolve
Next-gen automotive systems are hungry for more. More advanced automotive infotainment and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). More storage for driving event data recording. Support for more 3D mapping. Entirely new applications and capabilities to take advantage of 5G, IoT and artificial intelligence. Consumers are increasingly demanding the same capabilities and interfaces from their car that they get from their smartphones and tablets, making cars far more than mere methods of transportation. In addition to handling the enormous quantities of data generated by these in-vehicle applications, automotive memory solutions must also be fast, reliable, support a wide range of environments and temperatures, be shock- and vibration-resistant, and fully compatible with industry-standard interfaces.

The Driving Forces Behind Increasing In-Vehicle Memory Needs
In-vehicle Infotainment (IVI)
UFS and e-MMC managed flash solutions enable new and enhanced user experiences. As in-vehicle infotainment and dashboard clusters become richer in content and user interactions, flash storage becomes even more critical.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
From lane departure alerts to autonomous driving, ADAS enhances driver and passenger safety. Automotive ADAS storage demands include faster performance, higher reliability and the storage of more data.

BiCS FLASH™
KIOXIA’s BiCS FLASH is a three-dimensional (3D) vertical flash memory cell structure. This structure enables it to surpass the capacity of mainstream 2D (planar) flash memory. KIOXIA’s TLC 3-bit-per-cell 1Tb (128GB*1) BiCS FLASH, an industry first*2, enhances the reliability of write/erase endurance while boosting write speeds.
- Product density is identified based on the density of memory chip(s) within the Product, not the amount of memory capacity available for data storage by the end user. Consumer-usable capacity will be less due to overhead data areas, formatting, bad blocks, and other constraints, and may also vary based on the host device and application. For details, please refer to applicable product specifications. The definition of 1Gb = 230 bits = 1,073,741,824 bits. The definition of 1GB = 230 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes.
