GX85RS2MC (FM25V20A) in a RAID Controller

A RAID controller is a hardware device or software program that manages hard disk drives (HDDs)/solid state drives (SSDs) in a computer or storage array so that they work as logical components.

RAID controllers provide data protection solutions by grouping and categorising applications and operating systems by logical units. The controller has the ability to get multiple backups of data across multiple physical devices, so it has the ability to boost performance and protect data in the event of a system crash. The read and write speed of ferroelectric memory is much faster than traditional disks, which can greatly improve the read and write performance of RAID systems.

The ferroelectric memory GX85RS2MC is configured as 262,144 x 8 bits, which is formed into a non-volatile storage unit through the ferroelectric process and the silicon gate CMOS process technology, and the chip does not need a battery to keep the data. That is, the data will not be lost after power failure. This improves the data reliability of RAID systems and reduces data loss due to disk failure.

The advantages of the ferroelectric memory GX85RS2MC application are described:

1, GX85RS2MC has the advantages of fast read/write speed (up to 1,000,000 times), long write life, and low write power consumption.

2, GX85RS2MC lowest power consumption of 9 microamps (standby), the operating voltage of 2.7V to 3.6V, power consumption is much lower than traditional disks, can reduce the overall power consumption of the RAID system.

3, GX85RS2MC capacity 2M bit, provide SPI interface, operating frequency 25MHz, and support 40MHz high-speed read command.

4, GX85RS2MC working environment temperature range -40 ℃ to 85 ℃, the package is 8-pin SOP package, RoHS compliant;

5, GX85RS2MC performance is compatible with MB85RS2MT (Fujitsu) and FM25V20A (Cypress).
