- SM2XX Family - Flash Memory Card Controllers
- SM321 - USB 2.0
- SM323 - USB 2.0
- SM323E - USB 2.0
- Silicon Motion's SM321E and SM324 controllers support SLC and MLC NAND flash from Samsung, Hynix, Toshiba and ST Micro as well as flash products from Renesas, Infineon and Micron. The SM321E is available in a 48-pin LQFP package and a 44-pin LGA package. The SM321E supports up to 4 SLC or MLC NAND flash chips with 4 bytes / 528 bytes ECC
- SM324 - USB 2.0
- Supports dual-channel data transfer at read speeds of 233x (35 MB/s) and write speeds of 160x (24 MB/s), making it the fastest USB 2.0 flash disk controller in the market. The SM324 also has serial peripheral interface (SPI) which allows for not only Master and Slave modes, but the flexibility to develop more functionality into USB flash disk (UFD) products such as GPS, fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth and memory-capacity display. The SM324 is available in a 64-pin LQFP package. The SM324 supports 8 SLC or MLC NAND flash chips with 4 bytes / 528 bytes ECC.

- SX-20 SX-28, SX-48, SX-52
- Ubicom's SX series is an 8 bit microcontroller which has unusually high speed, up to 75 MHz (75 MIPS), and a high degree of flexibility. Andre LaMothe has proven that the SX-52 can actually be clocked to 80 MHz (80 MIPS) even though the specs say 75 MHz is the maximum. He has used the SX-52 in thousands of XGameStation development computers all running at 80 MHz. Some users have referred to these microcontrollers as PICs on steroids. While Ubicom's SX micros are limited in variety, their high speed and additional resources allow programmers to create 'virtual devices' as required. Refer to Parallax's Web site for information, as they are the main distributor of these devices.
