How do I select the right YMTC NAND for my application?

Selecting the right YMTC NAND depends on your application requirements: (1) For enterprise storage - choose high-capacity TLC NAND with high endurance for mixed workloads; (2) For consumer SSDs - select cost-effective TLC NAND for mainstream performance; (3) For read-intensive applications - consider QLC NAND for maximum capacity at lower cost; (4) For mobile devices - choose low-power eMMC or UFS solutions. Key parameters include capacity, endurance (P/E cycles), performance (read/write speed), power consumption, and temperature range. Contact LiTong FAE for detailed selection guidance.

Match the NAND type to your workload characteristics: TLC for mixed workloads, QLC for read-intensive applications.

What are the key features of YMTC Xtacking technology?

YMTC Xtacking technology features: (1) Wafer bonding - peripheral circuits and memory arrays fabricated separately then bonded; (2) Higher I/O speed - enables faster data transfer than conventional architectures; (3) Better density - achieves industry-leading storage density with more layers; (4) Shorter development cycle - faster technology iteration and time-to-market; (5) Lower power consumption - optimized design reduces energy usage; (6) Superior yield - independent optimization of peripheral and array processes. Xtacking has evolved through Xtacking 1.0 (64-layer) to Xtacking 4.0 (232-layer), each generation delivering significant improvements in density, performance, and power efficiency.

YMTC Xtacking delivers superior performance, density, and power efficiency compared to conventional 3D NAND architectures.
