Where does eMMC come from?<\/h2>\n

eMMC was developed for use as internal data storage in mobile devices and specified by JEDEC <\/a>.  <\/p>\n

The acronym eMMC stands for “embedded Multimedia Card” and is based on the flash memory standard<\/a>. The basis for eMMC is the MMC memory card<\/a>, which is also the predecessor of the SD card. <\/p>\n

However, eMMC is now being replaced by other technologies, such as Universal Flash Storage<\/a> (UFS), as these have higher read and write speeds.<\/p>\n

Advantages of eMMC<\/h2>\n

In addition to the actual flash memory, an eMMC package also combines a controller and the contacting in a BGA package. We have already explained what is behind BGA, PGA and LGA<\/a> in a blog article. By combining the aforementioned components on just one board, eMMC memory is usually more space-saving and also cheaper than regular memory.<\/p>\n

Use of eMMC  <\/h2>\n

eMMC memory is mainly used in mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. As eMMC integrates other peripheral devices in a package as described above, it can be addressed directly as a memory. But the ever smaller Mini PCs, such as our TEGRA 2 or BOX N6211, also rely on eMMC. <\/p>\n
