Samsung Develops MMCplus and MMCmobile Cards

The new memory cards, introduced in two formats full size and reduced size under the respective brands MMCplus and MMCmobile, are backward compatible with the MMC card as the conventional MMC host will configure and adjust to the new interface.

MMCplus and MMCmobile are upgraded versions of the MMC specification. The new memory cards support wider bus widths (x1, x4, x8) and a clock frequency of 52megahertz (MHz) to enable faster data transition rates. It has the industry's fastest read and write performance: 20MB per second for data read function and 15MB per second for data write speeds. The MMCmobile voltage support of 1.8V or 3.3V ensures minimum power consumption.

Samsung expects the advanced features — small form factor, high data transition rates and low power — to boost market acceptance of the new MMC specification as the most competitive card format for not only mobile handsets but also for almost any mobile digital device.
