msystems' mDOC H-Series Supported for High-Density Storage and Boot Code Integration in TI's OMAP5912-Based Portable Terminals.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- msystems : the mDOC H-Series Embedded Flash Drive Enables Cost-Effective MLC NAND Flash Utilization, High Reliability and Ease of Integration

msystems(TM) (NASDAQ:FLSH), a leader in smart personal storage, today announced that its mDOC H-series embedded flash drive (EFD) is now being offered as a NAND flash-based storage and boot solution for portable terminals based upon the OMAP5912 processor from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI).

msystems' mDOC H-series EFD provides device designers with an easy-to-integrate storage and boot solution utilizing the latest high-density NAND flash media, including cost-effective multi-level cell (MLC) NAND. Providing high reliability and multimedia performance levels delivered through msystems' flash management technologies, such as the patented TrueFFS(R) flash file system, mDOC H-series is well suited to meet the growing demand for high density smart storage in portable terminals and other OMAP5912-based applications.

OMAP5912 is a highly integrated hardware and software platform, designed to meet the application processing needs of next-generation embedded devices. The OMAP(TM) platform enables device designers to quickly bring to market devices featuring rich user interfaces, high processing performance, and long battery life through the maximum flexibility of a fully integrated mixed processor solution. The dual-core architecture provides benefits of both DSP and reduced instruction set computer (RISC) technologies, incorporating a TMS320C55x(TM) DSP core and a high-performance ARM926EJ-S ARM(R) core.

"msystems' mDOC H-series, with its standardized NOR-like interface, allows all of our customers to reap the rewards of cost-effective NAND flash without traditional design and integration trade-offs," said Huy Pham, OMAP Marketing Manager, TI. "Embedded applications can efficiently tap into the latest raw NAND material with the mDOC H-series' standard EFD interface without risking their increasingly demanding project schedules. It will help our customers focus their efforts on making superior products, faster."

"We are proud of our continuing collaboration with TI and are pleased to once again see the M-DOC EFD selected as the boot and high-density storage solution of choice for OMAP-based designs," said Noam Kedem, vice president of marketing for msystems. "Much like the OMAP5912's architecture, our DiskOnChip architecture offers designers ease of integration and cost savings, thanks to the marriage of raw SLC or MLC NAND material and our flash management technologies. mDOC H-series is embedded flash storage made smarter."

TI's OMAP5912 platform and msystems' mDOC H-series embedded flash drive will be showcased by msystems in booth 1040 at the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley, 3-9 April, in San Jose, California's McEnery Convention Center.
