<!--The tables below are sortable tables with a list of common features found on most microcontrollers. Microcontrollers usually come in families with many variations in packages, temperature rating, size of RAM/ROM etc. Generally only the largest member of a family is included in these tables. In some cases, the smallest member or particularly popular members are included.
The list is ONLY for microcontrollers that are currently available for purchase. Obsolete microcontrollers go in the table at the bottom. Please do NOT include any microcontrollers that are not shipping in production or that are not available to the general public.
Pricing MUST include a reference on where the pricing came from. Generally it should be from a distributor or the vendors web site and should be at the 1000 piece quantity level. Note that pricing is only a guide and is subject to change.
Please try to keep the entries for the microcontrollers sortable by copying the entry at the bottom of the table and filling in the fields as appropriate.-->

    • Supports dual-channel data transfer at read speeds of 233× (35 MB/s) and write speeds of 160× (24 MB/s), making it the fastest USB 2.0 flash disk controller in the market. The SM324 also has serial peripheral interface (SPI) which allows for not only Master and Slave modes, but the flexibility to develop more functionality into USB flash disk (UFD) products such as GPS, fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth and memory-capacity display. The SM324 is available in a 64-pin LQFP package. The SM324 supports 8 SLC or MLC NAND flash chips with 4 bytes / 528 bytes ECC.
