UFS (Universal Flash Storage) is a high performance storage interface designed for use in computing and mobile systems requiring low power consumption such as smart phones and tablets. Its high speed serial interface and optimized SCSI protocol enable significant improvements in throughput and system performance. UFS v2.0 defines bandwidth of up to 1.2 GB/s over two data lanes.

UFS IP and components (host and storage) are available now. UFSA Compliance workshops are planned for 2014. Check us out at the Flash Memory Summit for more information.

If you don't attend the Flash Memory Summit, check out our member presentations on the UFSA website: www.ufsa.org.

The Universal Flash Storage Association (www.ufsa.org) was founded in 2010 as a California Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation for:

  • Logo, compliance and certification management
  • UFS technology promotion
  • UFS infrastructure enablement
  • Technical input into JEDEC for future standards
