Optimal solution for storing high-volume data is cost-efficient

Toshiba Memory Europe has launched a range of four new JEDEC e-MMC Ver. 5.1 compliant embedded flash memory products for consumer applications. The new products integrate the company's 15nm BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory and a controller in a single package. All of the new products support the command queuing and secure write protection functions, specified as an option in the standard. Available in capacities ranging from 16GB to 128GB, the new e-MMC devices support sequential read and write speeds that are up to 52% faster than the corresponding speeds of their previous e-MMC devices. e-MMC combines highly efficient NAND flash memory with an integrated controller and enhanced memory management. It provides an optimal solution for applications where higher data volumes must to be stored in a cost-efficient way. e-MMC continues to be an important solution for many modern applications and the company’s new products will allow all applications to have access to the latest flash technology. Housed in a small 153-ball FBGA package measuring only 11.5mm x 13mm x 0.8mm, the new products can work across the temperature range -25C to +85C. They provide bus widths of x1/x4/x8 and require 3.3V for the memory core and 1.8V for the interface logic.
