The Alliance e·MMC is a managed non-volatile storage consisting of a single chip MMC controller and a NAND flash memory chip inside a JEDEC defined standard BGA package. It is specially designed as a small form factor memory product for storage of data and as a boot media. The performance is optimized to a mostly read operation mode at low power consumption. The utilization of 3D TLC NAND technology, with the option to configure the memory in Enhanced mode (pSLC), targets higher demanding industrial, which is supported by the industrial temperature grade specification.The e·MMC controller directly manages NAND flash, including ECC, wear-leveling, IOPS optimization and read sensing. The firmware features support high throughput for large data transfers and performance for small random data more commonly found in code usage. It also contains several security features as well as multiple boot partitions. Uses advanced refresh features for retention optimization for read intensive applications. e·MMC communication is based on an advanced 11-signal bus. The communication protocol is defined as a part of the JEDEC e·MMC standard and referred to as the e·MMC mode.
