Modern embedded systems rely heavily on e.MMC storage to manage large volumes of static system data alongside continuous streams of dynamic log or sensor data. This mix creates demanding write workloads that can strain the endurance of soldered, non-replaceable eMMC devices – making correct specification essential for long-term reliability.
This application note shows how combining TLC and pSLC modes within a single e.MMC delivers both high storage density and superior write endurance, without resorting to higher-capacity, higher-cost components. It also explains how to configure an Enhanced Area to align memory behavior with the different needs of operating system, application, and log data.
