Toshiba Electronics Europe has launched what it claims to be the world’s smallest-class of embedded NAND flash memory products integrating NAND chips fabricated with cutting-edge 15nm process technology. The e-MMC NAND chips are designed for applications including smartphones, tablets and wearable devices.

Compliant with the latest e-MMC and JEDEC standards, the memory devices integrate a controller to manage basic control functions for NAND applications. The e-MMC device interface handles essential functions such as writing block management, error correction and driver software. The memory products operate over a temperature range from -25 to +85°C and provide additional features such as BKOPS control, Cache Barrier, Cache Flushing Report and Large RPMB Write.

Compared to previous products from Toshiba, the e-MMC NAND chips offer faster read/write performance. Thanks to improvements in basic chip performance and controller optimisation, the devices offer 8% faster read speeds and 20% faster write speeds. Simplifying system design, the integrated design allows manufacturers to minimise development costs and shorten time-to-market.

The 16GB e-MMC NAND chips are available in 11.5x13.0x0.8, 11.0x10.0x1.0 and 11.5x13.0x0.8mm package sizes; while the 8, 32 and 64GB devices are also available in 11.5x14.0 and 11.0x10.0mm packages The 128GB device can record up to 16.3 hours of full spec HD video and 39.7 hours of SD video in an 11.5x13.0x0.8mm package.

Fabricated using Toshiba's cutting-edge 15nm process technology, the 153-ball FBGA package is approximately 26% smaller than comparable Toshiba products. This package is particularly suited for use in smartphones, tablet PCs and wearable devices requiring miniaturisation and weight savings.
