TLC Flash: High-Density Storage for Cost-Effective Performance
TLC Flash (Triple-Level Cell Flash) is a type of NAND flash memory that stores three bits of data per memory cell, offering a balance of storage capacity, performance, and affordability. It's widely used in consumer electronics, solid-state drives (SSDs), USB drives, and embedded storage applications.
What is TLC Flash?
TLC Flash stores eight voltage states per cell, corresponding to the possible combinations of three bits (2³ = 8). This allows for greater data density compared to SLC (Single-Level Cell) and MLC (Multi-Level Cell) flash technologies, which store one and two bits per cell, respectively.
Key Features
High Storage Density: More bits per cell reduce the cost per gigabyte.
Cost Efficiency: Lower manufacturing cost compared to SLC and MLC.
