Swissbit: industrial eMMC EM-20ERT

Swissbit presents EM-20, embedded Multimedia cards with capacities from 8 to 64 GB, for the industrial market.

Integrated controller allows flash management functionality and standardized interface. EM-20 can be easily designed-in to applications and offers a variety of key features.

The firmware is designed for use as a streamlined and energy-saving boot medium for medical devices, POS/POI terminals or demanding industrial embedded computing applications.

Swissbit’s EM-20 can be optionally operated in reliable/pseudo-SLC mode (pSLC). For certain applications, the pSLC mode offers important advantages: it is significantly faster than the standard use of multi-level cell flash technology and at the same time it increases the possible P/E cycles (program/erase cycles) from 3,000 to 20,000.

The Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB), a one-time writable partition, makes key-storage for Trusted Execution Environments possible. With data-refresh-functionalities and an industrial operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C, the data carrier is designed for long-term operation under harsh conditions.
