The DiskOnChip Millennium is the third generation of M-Systems' DiskOnChip series of products. The Millennium series is the world's first monolithic solid-state flash disk. It combines a disk controller with flash memory on a single die. DiskOnChip Millennium is available in a standard 48pin TSOP-I package. Adding the new coming 32MB to the current 8MB, the DiskOnChip Millennium products are optimized for use where minimal weight, space, and power consumption are required, such as information appliances, set-top boxes, thin clients or network computers, thin servers, and embedded, portable PC-compatible computers. It is therefore a very attractive alternative to conventional hard and floppy disk drives.

The DiskOnChip family has been designed into more than 400 standard embedded motherboards, where it provides low cost, low power, high capacity, and high reliability flash-disk solutions.

DiskOnChip Millennium can be soldered directly onto the motherboard, eliminating the need for mechanical disk drives, bulky ribbon cables, and connectors. The monolithic design of the DiskOnChip Millennium ensures high reliability even when subjected to levels of shock, vibration, and temperature changes that would destroy a conventional magnetic disk drive system.

Designed for ease of use and minimal integration overhead, the DiskOnChip Millennium can be preprogrammed for fast production or programmed on board during production. In addition, future software upgrades and formatting can be done on the target platform. There is no need to remove DiskOnChip Millennium from its socket to modify or reformat its contents.
