Shown here is the front package of the eMMC chip along with the capacities Panasonic currently offers in the line card. The defining characteristics of these cards are as follows: they are compliant with the JEDEC 5.0 specification, which is an industry standard for semiconductor memory. They utilize a 153-ball grid array design with a 0.5mm pitch. The controller is an in-house Panasonic design in collaboration with PMSTC or PMS Technology Company in Taiwan. The type of NAND flash that is currently standard for the eMMC is MLC type with a rated 2k p/e cycles. Panasonic’s cards comply to standard industrial operating temperatures of -40°C to 85°C and are completely AEC-Q100 certified. This verifies that they are subject to undergo rigorous testing for the automotive market. They have a high read performance of up to 280MB/s and above average write performance of up to 45MB/s. Panasonic offers customers some customization options to prolong their card lifetime, but the engineer will dive into these later. Listed on the right are some target markets Panasonic has had success in such as automotive and industrial automation.
