Samsung Electronics has developed what it claims is the industry's highest density MMC card (removable MultiMediaCard for portable electronics) based on its advanced multi-level cell (MLC) NAND Flash memory.
It also has developed the higher performing MMC card, based on single-level cell (SLC) NAND Flash, in rounding out its large portfolio of MMC memories. With added density, the new Samsung MMCplus cards are said to be designed to enhance user convenience for a variety of mobile applications.
Based on the company's 8Gb NAND Flash memory, the MMCplus card will be introduced with an 8GB density, allowing it to store 2,000 MP3 music files or eight hours of DVD-quality movies. The 8GB card will be part of a full line up of MLC-based MMCplus cards that also will include 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB offerings.
The company is also introducing a separate card advancement: a MMC that more than triples the performance of conventional small-form-factor memory cards. The higher performance version makes use of SLC NAND Flash memory, providing a read-speed of 40MB/s and a write-speed of 25MB/s. The advanced MMCplus card can save six MP3 songs per second, or two hours of DVD-quality movies in less than a minute. The card will be available in two variations: a 1GB and a 2GB density.
The company's new high-density MMCplus cards are expected to be available in the second half of this year.
