Embedded Multi Media Card (eMMC) is a single-chip storage solution that integrates flash memory chips and controllers. It has become one of the mainstream storage media in embedded systems due to its high integration, simplified design, stability, and reliability advantages.
Typical Application Scenarios of eMMC in Embedded System Solutions
Embedded devices in consumer electronics - In consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and portable game consoles, eMMC is the core carrier for system boot disks and data storage disks. It is responsible for storing operating system images, applications, user data, and other content. Its high-speed read and write performance ensures device boot speed and application loading efficiency. For example, the Android system firmware and video cache data of smart TVs are stored in eMMC, supporting smooth playback of 4K videos and parallel multitasking.
Medical embedded devices - Medical embedded devices, such as portable monitors, blood glucose meters, and ultrasound diagnostic devices, have strict requirements for data storage security and accuracy. The error verification function of eMMC can prevent medical data storage errors, and the power failure protection function can prevent the device from losing patient vital sign data in the event of a power outage, ensuring the reliability of medical diagnosis.
