For over 50 years, JEDEC has been the global leader in developing open standards and publications for the microelectronics industry. JEDEC committees provide industry leadership in developing standards for a broad range of technologies. Current areas of focus include: Main Memory: DDR4 & DDR5 SDRAM. Flash Memory: SSDs, UFS, e.MMC.

How many members does JEDEC have?

As of 2019, JEDEC has 301 members in total. Among them are large companies, which include the following. JEDEC’s adoption of open industry standards (i.e., standards that permit any and all interested companies to freely manufacture in compliance with adopted standards) serves several vital functions for the advancement of electronic technologies.

JEDEC patent policy requires that standards found to contain patents whose owners will not sign a standard JEDEC patent letter be withdrawn. Thus the penalty for a failure to disclose patents is retraction of the standard. Typically, standards will not be adopted to cover technology that will be subject to patent protection.

What is jajedec and what does it do?

JEDEC has over 300 members, including some of the world’s largest computer companies. Its scope and past activities includes standardization of part numbers, defining an electrostatic discharge (ESD) standard, and leadership in the lead-free manufacturing transition.

What is the purpose of the JEDEC smart-it standard?

It is implementable by all flash memory vendors, and has been approved by the non-volatile-memory subcommittee of JEDEC. The goal of the specification is the interchangeability of flash memory devices offered by different vendors.

What is common flash memory interface (CFI)?

The Common Flash Memory Interface ( CFI) is an open standard jointly developed by AMD, Intel, Sharp and Fujitsu. It is implementable by all flash memory vendors, and has been approved by the non-volatile-memory subcommittee of JEDEC.

What is control flow integrity (CFI)?
