Form Factor Size : 12.0mm x 14.0mm x 1.1mm
10pin, 12mm x 14mm x 1.1mm
Compatible with MMC Interface
> x1/x4 4bit Data Bus (based on MMC4.0)
1GByte with 5Stack Technology
> 4 x 2Gbit + 1 Controller
Shallow notch for preventing Flying-out
Support the hot-swapping by the socket
Higher Performance
> Use the high performance technology SLC(Single Layer Cell)
- X1 MMCmicro : > 1.9MB/s
- X4 MMCmicro : > 7.0MB/s
MMCmicro can operate on both 1.8V and 3V supply voltage
Lower Power Consumption
> Dual Voltage Support
> Lower Stand-by Current
Higher Density
> Use 5-Stack technology
- 512MB in early ’05, 1GB in late ‘05
Stronger Mechanical Spec
> Verified ESD immunity in current MMC
- Contact : 4KV, Air Discharge : 15KV
Open Standard Interface
> Use MMC interface
MMCmicro extends battery life and eliminate the need for voltage step-up circuits to power card slots in 1.8V systems.
> For example, TI OMAP 1710 chipset supplies only 1.8V to card now
> If 3V card is used, needs level-shifter
Data recorded on a dual-voltage card in a mobile phone operating at 1.8 V can be read by a PDA or similar device
operating at 3 V.
