MMC Plus
& MMC Mobile
MMCplus™ and MMCmobile™
Cards, based on the latest MMC System
Specification Version 4.0, are the
most advanced memory cards available
today, offering the highest transfer
speeds (up to 52MB/sec, or 416 Mbits/sec)
, and the greatest flexibility,
including support for dual-voltage
operation (1.8 and 3/3.3V), and
multiple bus widths (x1, x4 and
x8 bit).While the new cards have
13 pins to accommodate the additional
features, they are backwards compatible
with previous version MMCs (7-pins),
thus bridging the mobile storage
applications of yesterday, today
and tomorrow.
How do MultiMediaCards
differ from SD cards and other memory
cards?
MultiMediaCards and SD cards are
based on separate but related industry
standards. They are the same size,
except that MultiMediaCards are
thinner. Similarities in the standards
allow MultiMediaCards to be used
in electronic devices with expansion
slots made for SD cards. However,
SD cards cannot be used on devices
with slots made specifically for
MultiMediaCards. MultiMediaCards
are not compatible with other memory
cards such as Memory Stick and CompactFlash,
since they are based on unrelated
standards.
What are Dual-Voltage RS-MMC
(or DV RS-MMC)?
This refers to reduced-size MMCs
that support dual-voltage (3V and
1.8V) operation. MMCmobile Cards
in the reduced-size card form factor
are required to support dual voltage
operation.
What's the difference between
MMC/RS-MMC and MMCplus / MMCmobile?
MMCplus and MMCmobile Cards are
the brand names endorsed by the
MMCA for full-size and reduced-sized
MMCs that meet specific features
and functionality described in the
MMC System Specification from version
4.1 onward. MMC/RS-MMC cards are
generic names used for previous
generation cards. Manufacturers
may also choose to use the generic
names for spec. ver. 4.1 cards at
their discretion.
What are Dual-Voltage RS-MMC
(or DV RS-MMC)?
This refers to reduced-size MMCs
that support dual-voltage (3V and
1.8V) operation. MMCmobile Cards
in the reduced-size card form factor
are required to support dual voltage
operation.
Can I use MultiMediaCards
in my camera, PDA, cellular phone?
Yes, you can use MultiMediaCards
in your digital camera, PDA, car
radio or cellular phone if it has
a memory expansion slot designed
for MultiMediaCards or SD cards. |
