Numonyx™ Flash Data Integrator (FDI)



Cost savings and reduced time-to-market are keys to success in today's competitive handset environment. Running on the latest Numonyx™ StrataFlash® cellular memory, Numonyx Flash Data Integrator (FDI) replaces redundant memory to create a compelling, low-cost solution for cellular handset designs. FDI delivers a true eXecute-in-Place (XIP) advantage in an open architecture to manage code and data in Numonyx™ NOR flash memory devices. This includes support for downloaded Java* applets, USB connectivity, Wireless Technology file transfers, and voice recognition tags, as well as MP3, picture and video files.

The FDI open architecture allows easy integration with most real-time operating systems. Minimized porting and engineering efforts can help reduce time to market. FDI is tested and supported on a wide range of Numonyx flash memory products, including Numonyx StrataFlash Cellular Memory (M), and Numonyx Wireless Flash Memory (W) and will support next generation releases of these products.
