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 e∙MMC, which have an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C, the new e∙MMC product family support applications that require e∙MMC 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 e∙MMC 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.
