Flash Storage for Industrial, POS and Medical Devices
Industrial, POS and medical devices place three demands on storage that consumer parts are not specified for: a wider operating temperature range, a documented duty cycle over a long service life, and continuity of supply across years of production. A UDP module soldered onto your board (11.3 × 24.8 × 1.45 mm, 128MB–128GB) is the usual choice where storage must be fixed and tamper-resistant; a semi-finished board (12 × 44 × 4.5 mm) fits where you already have an enclosure. Tell us the temperature range, duty cycle and expected production life, and we will tell you what we can specify in writing and what we cannot.
What this buyer actually cares about
Operating temperature range
A vehicle terminal, an outdoor enclosure or an unconditioned factory floor puts a part outside the range a consumer component is specified for. This is the first question to answer, not the last.
Supply continuity over the product life
NAND suppliers discontinue packages on their own schedule. A device with a five-year production life needs a supply plan, not just a current price.
Enumeration reliability on the host
The most common integration failure is a part that does not enumerate consistently. It is a controller compatibility issue far more often than a capacity issue.
Change control between batches
If a configuration changes silently between runs, a device that passed qualification may fail it later. Changes should be notified, not discovered.
Fixed versus removable storage
Where the storage should not be user-removable — kiosks, terminals, instrumentation — a soldered UDP module removes the port and the failure mode that comes with it.
What we do about it
- Propose a configuration against your stated temperature range, duty cycle and production life
- Supply UDP modules (11.3 × 24.8 × 1.45 mm) or semi-finished boards (12 × 44 × 4.5 mm) for board-level integration
- State the silicon source, grade and controller solution in writing before quoting
- Provide a specification and drawing for your design review
- Say explicitly where a requirement cannot be met rather than relabelling a consumer part
Products for this application
Tell us your workload, target capacity and the date you need material — and, if you have it, your bitrate or retention requirement. We will come back with a specification and a schedule rather than a generic price list.
Send your requirementFrequently asked questions
Can you supply industrial-temperature parts?
Tell us the temperature range, duty cycle and required supply life. Where we can meet it we will specify the part in writing; where we cannot, we will say so rather than relabel a consumer part as industrial.
How long will the same part be available?
It depends on the NAND package and its supplier’s roadmap. Tell us your expected production life at enquiry stage and we will discuss how to plan for it.
What is the difference between this and your IoT page?
The IoT page is about devices that boot and store data in ordinary environments. This page is about the added constraints of industrial environments — temperature, duty cycle and multi-year supply.
Do you provide a datasheet and drawing?
Yes — dimensions, interface, capacity, controller solution and package format, prepared for your design review. See silicon and controller selection.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ depends on capacity, controller solution and whether tooling is required. It is confirmed with the quotation rather than applied as a standard figure.
