Phison launches PS5018 SSD-E18 master control at 12nm process supporting 176 layers of flash memory

Phison officially launched a new NVMe SSD master chip yesterday, the model is PS5018-E18. This chip uses PCIe 4.0×4 channels, and the read and write performance exceeds 7000MB/s. Not only that, this chip uses TSMC’s 12nm process technology, which can effectively reduce heat generation compared to other masters on the market.

Phison’s main controller has three ARM Cortex R5 cores and dual CoXProcessor processors for data transmission and addresses conversion. The main control supports the fourth-generation LDPC error correction engine and is compatible with NVMe 1.4 protocol specifications.

In terms of speed, the performance of the E18 main control has been significantly improved compared to the previous E16 main control, with sequential read exceeding 7400MB/s and sequential writing exceeding 7000MB/s.

The main control chip is compatible with 176-layer NAND flash memory particles, and its random read and write performance is 35% higher than the 96-layer particles on the market, reaching 1 million IOPS.

This master chip of Phison has 8 channels, 32CE, is compatible with DDR4 cache, and supports a maximum capacity of 8TB. Officials stated that the products will be exhibited at the Computex 2021 exhibition in Taipei, China.
