The new standard of mobile data transfer comes to the internet pages. That is UFS 3.0. We know the complete specifications, uses and futuristic capabilities of new standard UFS 3.0. Currently, high-end phones use an internal storage standard UFS 2.0 or 2.1 that reached a data transfer rate of up to 1.2GB/s. And now this is about to have a change with the announcement of the UFS 3.0 standard. That promises to double the speed of its predecessor.
Although the characteristic of internal storage is not about “media,” That is an important requirement in mobile devices since it allows controlling the “speed” or efficiency of a smartphone. That is because of the higher the storage capacity, the higher the frequency of data transfer. So the development of a new standard translates into faster and more efficient mobiles.
The UFS 3.0 standard, was approved by the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council ( JEDEC) today. And ensure that it is designed to reach speeds of up to 11.6 gigabits per second in each band. So that will double the performance of the memories flash.
The new standard maintains support for two channels so that the maximum speed can be 23.2 Gbps (2.9 GB/s). Also, they will use the new Adapt support in MIPI M-PHY 4.1 and QoS (Quality of service ) to measure the quality of the communication. So, allowing a record of failures.
What’s new in UFS 3.0
In addition to those above features, one of the highlights that standard UFS 3.0 brings is the reduction of latency and more excellent resistance of the device. That is because the new standard can withstand temperatures between -40ºC and 105ºC.
These memories will present a reduction in physical size, halving the area occupied by it. That reduces energy consumption to 2.5 volts. That is well below the previous standard that reaches between 2.7 and 3.6 volts. That is undoubtedly good news as smaller plates can be manufactured, with less energy consumption and faster.
According to the company statement, this technology has been developed not only for mobile phones but also for computers that need “high performance” and “low power consumption.”
We expect more news on this by the mid-year, so we are now very close to seeing them in operation.
