Maxio 1602 Full

The controller runs 4 channels with up to 8 chip enables (CE) per channel. This allows it to address up to 4TB of NAND flash. While 4 channels are half of what high-end controllers (like the Phison E18 with 8 channels) use, the Maxio 1602 compensates with a high interface speed per channel (up to 1200 MT/s).

| Part Number | Output Type | Thresholds | Package | |----------------|-------------------|-------------------------|--------------| | MAX16002A+ | Push-pull active low | Dual adjustable | 10-TDFN | | MAX16002B+ | Open-drain active low| Fixed 3.3V + 2.5V | 8-µMAX |

Before connecting your hardware, you need the right control software. Maxio cards generally work with specialized configuration software, but many are compatible with the more universal LEDStudio or HD Player suites depending on your sending card (Novastar, Linsn, or Colorlight).

To understand the "Full" experience, we look at real-world testing of retail drives using this controller, such as the Zhitai TiPlus 7100 or Fanxiang S660.

The Maxio 1602 Full is famous for its close symbiotic relationship with YMTC (Yangtze Memory Technologies Co.) , China's leading NAND manufacturer. The controller runs 4 channels with up to

The Maxio MAS1102 (commonly referred to as the 1602 series) is a 4-channel NVMe 1.4 SSD controller fabricated on a mature yet efficient TSMC 28nm process node. The keyword "Full" in "Maxio 1602 Full" typically refers to the fully unlocked or fully featured retail version of the firmware and hardware configuration.

Unlike "lite" or OEM-locked versions, the "Full" variant supports: | Part Number | Output Type | Thresholds

Essentially, "Maxio 1602 Full" signifies a controller that is not artificially limited by firmware, delivering the maximum theoretical performance of up to 3,600 MB/s sequential read and 3,200 MB/s sequential write.

The Maxio 1602 is a DRAM-less controller. In traditional SSD design, a dedicated DRAM chip stores the "Flash Translation Layer" (FTL) map. Without it, performance would tank. However, the Maxio 1602 Full leverages Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology.
