SWISSBIT TARGET APPLICATIONS
INDUSTRY
Typical applications:
Industrial Automation
• Process- / motion control
• Industrial PC / embedded
• Industrial measurement
• Building technology
• Identification / access systems
• Surveillance
Energy
• Energy distribution
• Energy consumption
• Smart grid
Infotainment
• POS terminals
• Information terminals

Aerospace and defense
• In-flight Entertainment &
Communication (IFE&C)
• Communications, Command,
Control and Intelligence (C4ISR)
• Combat management systems
• Battlefield sensor systems
Memory and non-volatile storage solutions for embedded applications must
provide reliable operation even in the most extreme conditions (e.g., tem-
perature, shock, and vibration). As such, both the qualification cycle and
the support life cycle needed for these products far exceed those of devices
designed for typical consumer applications.
Swissbit‘s embedded memory and storage solutions are the perfect fit for
such demanding applications. They offer the highest reliability and quality
with long term availability and controlled BOM. To guarantee such high
quality standards, each product undergoes thorough functional testing
before being released for shipment.
AUTOMOTIVE
Typical applications:
•
•
•
•
Entertainment systems
Navigation systems
Head unit / dashboard
Black box / crash recorder
The increasing varieties of infotainment and dashboard applications in cars
today require significantly higher storage capacities than before. All components
used in automotive applications need to operate within a wide temperature
range and withstand sudden power loss as well as shock and vibration.
Additionally, very low failure rates are essential, because replacements of mal-
functioning parts can incur high costs.
Swissbit is the only independent embedded memory and storage manufacturer
with TS16949. Our S-45 SD and microSD memory card lineup caters to the
demands of an automotive application, offering the highest reliability and
quality at competitive prices.

Telecommunication infrastructure is implemented globally in every possible
climate zone; therefore the equipment has to operate under most severe weather
conditions such as heat, cold, humidity, or dust. This results in a long, expensive
qualification and testing process and the need for products that guarantee
long-term availability to minimize the number of requalifications.
Our cards provide features that are particularly suitable for NetCom applications,
where high reliability, longer duty cycles, and on-field firmware upgrade are
key requirements.
Swissbit‘s product portfolio is very much focused on products and form factors
that will dominate the NetCom sector in the near future, such as small form
factors like our newest SATA III devices including M.2, mSATA, and slimSATA.
Among our solutions, we have customized products able to guarantee a high
level of random performance meeting or exceeding most NetCom application
requirements.
Swissbit‘s embedded memory and storage solutions are tested specifically
for extreme environmental conditions and guarantee industry leading
reliability standards. Long-term relationships with our suppliers allow us
to maintain a fixed BOM along with the highest possible longevity.
SECURITY
Governments, enterprises, banks, and industry demand high-end security.
Swissbit‘s secure storage solutions offer smart modularization of algorithms
and secure storage of encryption keys in one runtime environment. Thus
solution providers can concentrate fully on system design while the computation
of cryptographic operations is delegated to the trusted execution environment,
e.g., a smart card chip in the flash memory device. The Swissbit Security
Interface supports all relevant mobile, portable, embedded, and PC platforms.
