Why is Mobile eMMC So Popular?

The eMMC storage solution is getting very popular these days and is playing an important role in almost every smart device. Why is this thing ruling over the world? Today, we will highlight all the basic points related to mobile eMMC as well as its cause of popularity.

The name eMMC may confuse many people but it simply stands for embedded multi-media card. It is simply a storage solution that assists small devices to improve their working ability. It is a package that constitutes both a flash storage medium as well as a controller embedded on a single chip and the eMMC is provided in a BGA package. This is the latest technology in the market and is making a huge difference in the performance of smart devices. This technology is ideal to be used at industrial as well as consumer levels.

Before this technology, the processor used a controller fixed in one place for data reading and writing functions. With the launch of eMMC, the controller and storage are managed by eMMC, and no dependence on PC for reading/writing tasks. This thing is widely used in mobile devices and sensors of the internet of things (IoT).

Mobile eMMC Usage

eMMC is the internal storage medium and before its launch in the market MMC and digital cards were widely used to provide storage solutions to devices. The usage of MMC diminished with the launch of SD cards. MMC is similar to eMMC but it is based on external storage standards. eMMC reused the MMC interface with an internal storage standard and became a leading technology to support handy devices such as mobiles, tablets, etc.

The smart device industry mainly uses eMMC in smart phones, tablet computers, smart TVs, set-top boxes and other fields. FORESEE launched eMMC product solutions in 2011, and now these solutions have multiple capabilities to work with different types of smart devices. Currently the highest memory capacity of eMMC is 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB.

This is the era of IoT, and in order to improve efficiency, the smart industry is turning its interest to eMMC. This storage medium helps IoT's sensors seamlessly gather information and deliver it to companies. Not only in the mobile industry, eMMC also plays an important role in the automotive industry. Many vehicles are now equipped with eMMC-enabled dash cams, entertainment systems and navigation panels. FORESEE has launched a powerful version of eMMC that can work smoothly in the vehicle environment.This product is developed based on a new generation of LDPC controller and 3D NAND Flash, which can be used in complex and changeable application scenarios.Key advantage 

1. Increased Storage Capacity

This technology is becoming very trendy because of its increased storage capacity. This is a magical chip that is designed to give a high storage capacity ranging from 4GB to 256GB. Its mini size makes it an accurate internal chip for holding an enormous amount of data in mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, and IoT. Moreover, mobile phones using the eMMC storage solutions are relatively inexpensive than others using SSD and HDD.

2. Perfect Storage Medium for Handy Devices

Handy devices such as smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and laptops demand a storage solution that is small in size but provides increased storage capacity. The solid-state drive or hard disk is very large and cannot be considered a suitable match for handy devices. Much smaller than SDD or HDD, eMMC is the best choice for processing data in handheld devices.

3. Improved Device Performance

eMMC is not only designed to provide storage to your device but also helps the device to enhance its performance ability. We know that eMMC comes with a controller that contributes to data reading and writing tasks. Thus, this gives the CPU more time to perform other jobs than reading and writing data. The speed of data processing depends on the ability of the device eMMC.

4. Power Efficiency

It is the most power-efficient technology. Its working voltage usually exceeds 1.8V to 3.3V under an intense workload. Its low voltage consumption makes it a superior chip for small devices having small battery capacities. The voltage consumption may exceed under extreme working conditions. The embedded storage solution is more preferred in mobile industry .

5.Safe and Compatible

The unique power failire protection technology enhances  data stability,At the same time，The product is compatible with the SoC platform.
