eMMC & UFS
Kingston eMMC offers a variety of embedded memory and capacity products, including eMMC 8GB, eMMC 64GB and DRAM components.
pSLC eMMC:
In firmware configuration, pseudo-Single-Level Cell (pSLC) simulates NAND flash memory cells to store data with two voltage states, storing only one bit per cell, thereby improving endurance and write performance.
Besides enhancing write performance, this configuration significantly increases the device's durability. Generally, the endurance of pSLC mode is more than ten times higher than that of native mode. This is because standard NAND flash memory cells have a higher tolerance for signal noise.
In pSLC configuration, each cell stores only one bit, allowing NAND cells to operate faster and achieve higher write speeds. However, pSLC configuration sacrifices storage capacity. Since TLC NAND stores three bits per cell in its original form, reducing it to one bit in pSLC mode reduces the overall storage capacity to one-third of the native mode's capacity.
MLC eMMC:
In Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND, each storage cell can store 2 or more bits of information, but usually, it stores 2 bits. MLC has a higher data storage density compared to Single-Level Cell (SLC), which allows for the production of larger capacity specifications. MLC offers a good combination of cost, performance, and durability.
