SSC™ - A new generation of smart controller for mobile storage

Personal information storage and data processing are two of the key issues in mobile device product development. SSC give a new solution to solve these handicaps on account of that it is different from traditional SD card, MMC card and USB device. It tries to integrate high performance calculation, large volume memory and some popular flash card interfaces together into one chip, which leads to a new generation of smart controller for mobile storage. SSC can be used in mobile phones, digital cameras, and other electronic devices which need not only large memory size but also data processing and information management ability. Mega-Byte Class SIM is a typical usage. It can provide an attractive and profitable value-added-service (VAS) platform to telecom carriers. Assisted by the new SIM, the mobile phone can largely expand and strengthen it's user experience, WEP service is a excellent practice benefit from it's GUI system to provide renewable applications. A programmable chip platform and flexible software system are absolutely necessarily. This paper will focus on these topics and give some key discussions on smart controller chip and major application software design technology. One successfully developed SoC will be presented also in this paper.
