    Storage interfaces for mobile are evolving rapidly, in particular with the Universal Flash Storage (UFS) standard. So how do you test a design? If you want to test a design that accesses, say, an SD card then you can wander into Fry's and buy an SD card for a few dollars. But to design an interface to UFS is a bit harder since the devices don't yet exist, nor does test equipment ...

    There has been a general trend for over a decade now towards the use of very fast serial interfaces instead of wide parallel interfaces. This has been driven by a number of different factors ranging from the lack of pins on an SoC, the difficulty of keeping wide parallel interfaces free of skew, limitations on printed circuit board ...

    The explosive growth in portable devices over the past decade has left manufactures in a quandary over how to add memory to their products that meet several criteria:
    • High capacity
    • Low cost
    • Low power
    • High bandwidth
