Editor's note:

In order to meet the ever shrinking market window, the ability to ramp up chip volume production has become a significant challenge. This is due to simultaneous changes in technology, functionality, schedule, cost, etc. This article presents a set of requirements and a unique design flow developed by SanDisk to help meet on-time volume production.
