Product catalog summary
Overview: The Samsung eMMC brochure outlines the features and benefits of Samsung's embedded multimedia card (eMMC) solutions, which are designed to support advanced mobile applications by providing high-density, robust, and compact memory solutions.
Key Features:
  • Density and Size: Samsung eMMC offers a range of densities from 4GB to 128GB, in compact sizes smaller than a postage stamp, freeing up space for other components in mobile devices.
  • Advanced Storage Capabilities: The eMMC solutions enhance storage capabilities, allowing for high-definition video playback and complex multimedia features, while also supporting booting functionality.
  • Ease of Adoption: Samsung eMMC simplifies mass storage designs by incorporating a mature interface standardized by JEDEC, which includes strong power management and performance optimization.
Benefits:
  • Reduced Development Time: Developers can move directly from product concept to testing, bypassing the Flash translation layer, which reduces design, development, and testing time.
  • Cost Efficiency: The integration of 2-bit and 3-bit MLC-type NAND memory and TLC memory simplifies system design and reduces costs, making it suitable for a variety of segments, including low-cost legacy chipsets.
  • High Performance: Samsung eMMC supports interface speeds up to 400MB/s and includes features like secure erase, high priority interrupt, and dynamic capacity management.
Applications: Samsung eMMC is suitable for advanced mobile devices, handsets, tablets, smartphones, GPS systems, and e-readers, providing enhanced computing power and content storage capabilities.
Technical Specifications:
  • Interface Speed: eMMC 4.5 supports up to 200MB/s, while eMMC 5.0 supports up to 400MB/s.
  • Bus Width: Available in x4/x8 configurations.
  • Security Features: Includes secure erase, secure trim, and RPMB (Replay Protected Memory Block).
Conclusion: Samsung eMMC solutions offer a comprehensive and efficient approach to memory management for mobile devices, providing high-density storage, ease of integration, and reduced time to market.

High efficiency, reduced costs and quicker time to market Expand device development with capable memory solutions Simplify mass storage designs Conventional NAND Flash memory can be challenging to adopt. Developers may have some difficulty controlling software development, particularly when implementing wear leveling, bad block management, device mapping and error handling. Developers may also encounter issues related to die shrinkage, including page size and error correcting code (ECC) management. To meet current trends for advanced mobile device designs, manufacturers require memory that is...

Enhanced ability to proceed directly from concept to testing Reduce development time and control costs Increase storage capabilities for diverse applications In the past, a product using NAND memory required changes in the chipset or the OS. At times, the NAND memory also required changes to be made in the Flash translation layer (FTL). The changes then needed to be tested at the NAND level, which could lead to significant delays in product-level testing. In contrast, developers using Samsung eMMC can move directly from product concept to product testing. Samsung eMMC isolates the host from changes...
