Industrial eMMC targets long-term supply for embedded designs
Intelligent Memory is expanding its managed NAND portfolio with lower-capacity embedded storage aimed at long-life systems. The move comes as several memory vendors scale back or discontinue their eMMC lines, creating potential supply gaps for industrial customers.
For engineers working on embedded and control platforms, the availability of stable, lower-density storage can be a practical concern. The announcement is therefore likely to resonate with readers designing for long product lifecycles and predictable BOMs.
Low-density industrial eMMC for stable designs
The company has introduced an industrial eMMC range in 8 GB and 16 GB densities, housed in a 153-ball BGA package. According to Intelligent Memory, the devices are intended for applications where endurance, longevity and supply continuity may be more critical than headline capacity.
Target segments include industrial control, factory automation, medical systems, IoT gateways, smart devices and certain automotive electronics. In many such designs, storage requirements remain modest, but long-term availability is essential to avoid costly redesigns.
As higher-capacity consumer storage continues to dominate the broader market, some suppliers have reduced their focus on smaller configurations. Intelligent Memory appears to be positioning its industrial eMMC portfolio as a counterbalance to that trend, with a stated commitment to ongoing support.
“Most industrial designs simply don’t require high-density storage,” said Alistair Jones, Global Director Sales & Marketing. “With our new low-density eMMC portfolio, customers get precisely the capacity they need, without paying for excess. We’re committed to supporting these products for the long term, providing peace of mind through a stable and predictable supply chain.”
