Toshiba Corporation’s Storage & Electronic Devices Solutions Company today announced the launch of JEDEC eMMC Version 5.1 compliant embedded NAND flash memory products with an enhanced operational temperature range of -40°C to +105°C . The new products integrate NAND chips fabricated with 15nm process technology and are designed for industrial applications, including PLC, CoMs and factory automation equipment, and can also be used in a wide range of consumer applications. The line-up offers densities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. Sample shipments start from today, with mass production scheduled for March 2017.

The new products integrate NAND chips with a controller to manage basic control functions for NAND applications in a single package. As a complement to Toshiba’s current industrial product group of eMMC, which have an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C, the new eMMC product family support applications that require eMMC storage solutions to operate at higher temperatures up to +105°C. This enhanced range offers users more freedom of choice in developing memory solutions for industrial applications in high temperature environments.

In the consumer and industrial market demand for eMMC with high temperature support continues to grow for applications requiring higher performance and higher power consumption. Toshiba is meeting this demand by reinforcing its line-up of high performance and high density memory products and will continue to take leadership in the market.
