The first PCIe 5.0 SSD master of Jiangsu Huacun: TSMC 12NM process, mass production in 2020

In recent days, , stay 2019 Nantong new generation information technology industry exhibition , Jiangsu Huacun electronic technology released the next generation of efficient and highly integrated innovative intelligent storage architecture for cloud data center servers (AI)2 Computing Storage SSD framework , It can help cloud server system manufacturers in the new PCIe Gen5/ Gen4 Efficient storage generation , Provide customers with 100% Enjoy the advantages of efficient information transmission .

According to introducing , Huacun released PCIe Gen5/Gen4 Cloud server storage control chip HC9001, Defined (AI)2 Computing Storage SSD framework , With a completely self built new master chip architecture , Integrate 2019 Published in PCIe Gen5(32GT/s) Host interface and ONFI4.1(1200MT/s) Flash port speed specification , Integrate self-developed flash memory error correction algorithm and encryption algorithm , Match with domestic self-developed CPU The core , Innovative architecture AI Learning The function records and learns the host side use scenarios and external use environment changes to adjust the data protection and management mechanism in storage .

Besides ,HC9001 It also provides host side autonomous efficiency control (SRIOV、STREAM、Open Channel、Dual Port) And AI Computing function , Let cloud and enterprise level server customers optimize the system's control over storage . To meet the power consumption requirements of customers for the new generation of servers ,HC9001 Will be in TSMC 12 Inch wafer factory adopts 12nm FFC Process flow sheet , Is expected to be in 2020 In mass production .

In terms of security ,HC9001 The master controller supports the state secret standard , It integrates autonomous and controllable security encryption algorithm and enterprise level encryption algorithm , Assist cloud and enterprise server manufacturers according to end-user usage scenarios , Provide efficient security protection for different data .

PCIe Gen5 The specification is made by PCI-SIG The association is in 2019 year 5 Officially released in , Compared with the fourth generation, the interface speed is improved 2 times 、 Compared with the third generation specification, it improves 4 times , It is suitable for applications that pay attention to large capacity and high-speed information transmission , Cloud computing 、 big data 、 AI and 5G And so on .

This year, 10 month 28 Japan , Intel in PCI-SIG Asian Developer Forum , The first to release PCIe Gen5 FPGA And EVB SOC Integrate results , It means that the server ecosystem will be in 2020 End from PCIe The third generation quickly enters the fifth generation specification .

by comparison , Huacun PCIe Gen5 Standard SSD Research and development of main control chip , It's done PCIe Gen5 The cloud server stores the hardware infrastructure and various software and hardware of the master chip IP Component design , Smooth import FPGA After that, the chip will be displayed SoC Integrated dynamic design results , The product is expected to 2020 Import mass production at the end of the year . The progress is basically similar to that of Intel . This also means that domestic high-end memory control chips will reach the world's leading technology level for the first time .

The data shows , Jiangsu Huacun Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2018 year 1 month , With a total investment of about 1 RMB 100 million . Look at the prosperous chip market and mature policy support in the mainland , This is by 30 A team of high-tech young talents from Taiwan is determined to take root in Nantong and engage in research and development , Team members have experienced many changes in the era of memory chips in the past decade , Successful mass production of streamers includes PCIe Gen3,SATA Gen3,eMMC5.1,USB3.0 Wait for multiple generations of chips . After the establishment of Jiangsu Huacun , Its R & D 40 Nano industrial embedded storage “ China core ”, Incubate rapidly in just one year , All indicators have reached the world-class level , Broken by Samsung 、 The monopoly of international mainstream manufacturers such as Hynix in this field .
