Future Electronics Offers Kingston Technology's New eMMC Series Flash Memory

Pointe Claire, Canada, April 17, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components offers the new eMMC™ Series of flash memory from Kingston Technology.

Kingston's A19nm eMMC™ Flash memory follows the JEDEC eMMC 5.0 standard and encloses the MLC NAND and eMMC controller inside one JEDEC standard package to provide a standard interface to the host CPU. The eMMC controller directs the Flash management, including ECC, wear-leveling, lOPS optimization and read sensing, significantly reducing the storage management burden on the host CPU.

A universal storage solution, Kingston A19 eMMC is ideal for many electronic devices, including smartphones, tablet PCs, PDAs, eBook readers, MIDs, digital cameras and recorders, MP3, MP4 players, electronic learning products, digital TVs and set-top boxes. Beyond its use in consumer products, eMMC is being rapidly adopted in embedded applications, such as many Computer on Module (COM) designs, because of its compact size, low-power consumption and many enhanced features.

Key benefits include simplification of system design and reduction in time to market. The standard interface makes fast-changing NAND technology invisible to the host and the host processor doesn't have to keep changing its software to accommodate every NAND technology change and variation. This helps to significantly reduce the design-in complexity and shorten the qualification cycle.

The eMMC controller improves system performance by freeing up the host processor's valuable resources from NAND management so that the host processor can use its processing power on other tasks.

Compared to SLC NAND, eMMC uses MLC NAND so it makes higher capacity storage in mobile devices much more affordable and enables today's mobile devices to meet increasing demands for storage.
