Silicon Motion Technology Corporation
We are a global leader in developing NAND flash controllers for SSDs and other solid state storage devices. We have over 20 years of experience developing specialized processor ICs that manage NAND components and deliver market leading, high- performance storage solutions widely used in data centers, PCs, smartphones and commercial and industrial applications. We have one of the broadest portfolios of controller intellectual properties developed from our deep understanding of NAND characteristics, which enables us to design both unique, highly optimized configurable IC plus related firmware controller platforms and complete turnkey controller solutions. In the last ten years, we have shipped over six billion controllers, more than any other company in the world. More NAND flash components, including current and up-coming generations of 3D flash produced by Intel, Kioxia, Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix, Western Digital and YMTC, are supported by Silicon Motion controllers than any other company. Our customers include NAND flash makers, module makers, hyperscalers and OEMs.
We offer a broad range of controllers from which customers may choose in developing different categories of solid state storage devices that are used in a wide variety of applications. We provide controllers for computing-grade SSDs used in PCs and other client devices, enterprise-grade SSDs used in data centers, eMMC and UFS mobile embedded storage used in smartphones and IoT devices and flash memory cards and flash drives used as expandable storage, and specialized SSDs used in industrial, commercial and automotive applications. For most of these applications we offer customers controllers, which are designed for a range of different price-performance trade-offs that enable the targeting of different market segments, such as value-line, mainstream and premium. Our controllers are a combination of integrated circuits and firmware and are offered as configurable platforms or turnkey solutions, which provides customers with options to customize products to achieve desired differentiation or focus on fast time-to-market. Since SSDs and mobile embedded storage products are defined by continuously evolving industry standards such those relating to, but are not limited to, the PCIe host interface, NVMe data transfer protocol and UFS storage specification, we provide controllers for the latest versions of these industry standards and design our solutions for customers to build storage devices with competitive product performance and compatibility with host devices. Our controllers are also designed to support the majority of the latest next generations of NAND flash components manufactured by vendors such as Kioxia, Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix and its subsidiary Solidigm, Western Digital and YMTC, which enables customers to have wide choices of components for developing and building storage devices. Controllers integrate technologies that are critical to their functionality and these include advanced error correction codes ('ECC') and digital signal processing ('DSP') engines for ensuring data reliability and sophisticated wear-leveling algorithms for maximizing the usable life of NAND flash components. We may also incorporate other technologies in our controllers such as encryption, power-loss protection, multimedia digital rights management and active temperature monitoring.
We use our unique controller technology to develop Ferri and Shannon SSD solutions. Our FerriSSDs, Ferri-eMMCs, and Ferri-UFS products are highly reliable industrial-, commercial- and automotive-grade single-chip SSDs, which are developed for a wide-range of embedded applications that require high data rate, small form factor and compliance with industry standards. We offer customers firmware customization for performance tuning as a value-added service. Our Shannon SSDs include both standard enterprise-grade PCIe NVMe SSDs used in data centers and proprietary enterprise-grade Open-Channel SSDs developed for China's leading hyperscale data center operators. Our Bigtera software-defined storage solutions are enterprise-grade software defined storage and storage appliances targeted at China and Taiwan markets.
