MMC/eMMC 4.5 Device Controller IP from Arasan

Arasan Chip Systems, Inc. has announced its MMC/eMMC 4.5 Device Controller IP product, and upgrades, to its complete family of Multi-Card Reader (MCR) Host Controllers. These MMC/eMMC 4.5 Device and Host Controllers supports the recently released JEDEC specification, designed to meet requirements for secure, yet flexible, program code and data storage for consumer electronic products.

With its low-pin count, high bandwidth, and multiple boot mechanisms, eMMC 4.5 greatly simplifies design for systems employing non-volatile storage. Arasan says its Device and MCR Host Controller IP implementations of the eMMC 4.5 specification facilitate higher system level performance, in order to meet the increasing demands of consumer electronic devices. Arasan's Device and Host Controllers are offered as a Total IP solution including RTL Host Controller IP, Software Stack, Hardware Development Board, Verification IP and ESL models.

Arasan claims its eMMC 4.5 Device and MCR Host Controller offering few features, enabling superior consumer products including higher clock rates, larger sector size, and automatic transmission parameter tuning resulting into 2x improvement in bandwidth to 1.6 Gb/sec.


Arasan's new eMMC 4.5 Device and MCR Host products provide manufacturers a Total IP solution for creating products supporting these standards:

· SD/SDIO/MMC/eMMC Device Controller
· 3MCR - SD/SDIO/MMC/eMMC Host Controller
· 5MCR - SD/SDIO/MMC/eMMC/MS/MSPro
· 6MCR - SD/SDIO/MMC/eMMC/MS/MSPro/xD
· 7MCR - SD/SDIO/MMC/eMMC/MS/MSPro/xD/CF

"All of our MMC/eMMC 4.5 Controllers are offered as a Total IP solution including all of the RTL, Verification IP, software stacks and drivers, and hardware development kits that are required to integrate and validate our IP in the customer's system", said Prakash Kamath, Vice President Engineering, Arasan.
