As we well know, UFS is its dictionary Universal Active Storage and for years it has become an increasingly important standard for products such as smarthphones depending on storage. JEDEC issued the final specification of this standard at the beginning of the month and about a month later all details of the report are known.
The upgrades aren't that great compared to UFS 3.0, but they will be an exciting step forward as the basis for a new batch of flash chips.
UFS 3.1: this will be the storage of new devices in 2020 and 2021
The first thing to consider is the fact that the UFS standard is growing at a high speed on the leading devices of all brands, so even the middle class is enjoying this technology in its own unique interpretation.
It is much faster than the old eMMC and with this new version 3.1 a step forward is not only taken by speed, but by power efficiency. JEDEC's direct promise is to increase performance while reducing energy consumption, at the same time reducing costs and improving user experience.
Features and features
According to a recent JEDEC report, UFS 3.1 will arrive with the same physical layer M-PHY 4.1 by encoding 8b and 10b, which supports the HS-G4 protocol at 11.6 Gbps for each data line. The news comes from the hand of three new features: Write Auxiliary, Deep Sleep and A Practical Alert.
These three features are exported directly from the SSDs of traditional PCs, which include UFS 3.1 within a high performance application.
- Let's write Help: As its name implies, it is designed to maximize coding performance by using something we are very familiar with in the PC industry, the SLC cache. In addition, it allows temporary backup thanks to OS support.
- Deep sleep: the other big known, and just like SSDs, is the state of low power and power to improve device autonomy when not in use.
- High Performance Notice: It is the latest improvement in quality and its reach to notify the custodian in real time of the banning of the heat exchanger. What he is trying to avoid is to work together to achieve consistent performance.

It is a feature that is finally introduced in UFS 3.1 and is accessible to cross-concept on a local address map, also known as LTP. This improves performance between the UFS and the DRAM device due to the poor performance of the readout.
This will obviously enable the industry to reduce production costs, since HPB It will prevent UFS devices from becoming more expensive as their capacity goes up.
The problem is that this new feature is not compulsory even if it falls within the new level, so it was initially left to wait to know the impact of the manufacturers, which do not have to be installed on their devices for use of UFS 3.1 throughout its expansion.
