Micron Brings Enhanced Security and NAND Partition Management to Mobile Applications

Micron Introduces e·MMC 4.4 Managed NAND Products
BOISE, Idaho--(Business Wire)--
Micron Technology, Inc. (NYSE:MU), today announced support of the newly ratified
JEDEC e∙MMC 4.4 standard with its portfolio of managed NAND solutions. Targeting
mobile applications, Micron`s e∙MMC 4.4products now offer increased security
options and NAND partition management, allowing handset manufacturers to swiftly
and easily transition to the new features offered in NAND. Micron is currently
taking sample orders for delivery in July and expects to be production-ready in
fall 2009.

By combining the NAND and flash memory controller in one package, Micron`s
e∙MMCsolutions simplify the application interface design and alleviate the host
processor from low-level flash memory management. The e∙MMC 4.4 standard is
backward compatible with previous MMC standards.

"As today`s mobile phones grow in content, features and functionality, there is
a movement to ensure that the technology within these devices is flexible enough
to evolve with the platforms," said Eric Spanneut, director of mobile memory
marketing for Micron. "Micron is introducing products supporting the e∙MMC 4.4
standard to allow our customers and partners to begin designing around a
solution that reduces component count and bolsters system security."

The NAND partitioning feature of the e∙MMC4.4 standard allows designers to
configure partitions of the multi-level cell (MLC) NAND to act as single-level
cell (SLC) NAND and securely store and execute handset boot code. Doing this in
MLC NAND eliminates the need for an extra SLC chip and reduces the component
count, simplifying product integration and freeing up board space.

Also new for the e∙MMC4.4 standard are heightened security features that
restrict access to the phone`s critical software, including the boot code and
operating system. Specific security features include power-on write protection,
permanent write protection and secure memory block. These features ensure that
data is unaltered when transferred and stored, as well as during device re-boot
and power down.

"We are impressed with the new e∙MMC4.4 standard ratified through JEDEC. As
today`s mobile devices grow in sophistication and usage, it`s very critical that
the managed NAND storage solution deliver improved security features to keep the
program data tightly secured. We`re looking to align e∙MMC4.4 with our future
platforms and we look forward to engaging with Micron on their new e∙MMC4.4
product portfolio," said David Foster, general manager at Microsoft.

Designed using its industry-leading 34-nanometer NAND technology, Micron`s
e∙MMC4.4 solutions range in density from 2 gigabytes (GB) to 32GB. For
