EM3255
Embedded USB2.0 Flash Controller
The EM3255 is a USB Flash controller focusing on embedded/industrial application (eUSB) usage. It combines high compatibility and performance to support single-channel SLC and MLC NAND Flash memory in a single chip. The EM3255 complies with USB2.0 power specifications for bus-powered devices. The EM3255 controller delivers an extremely reliable, high data transfer rate through the BCH ECC engine to reduce read/write disturbance errors. Combining a 5-3.3V regulator and power-on-rest feature, the EM3255 maximize efficiency and reduces overall BOM costs. The EM3255 is available in 48-pin LQFP packages.
