SPACE-GRADE DATA STORAGE

32GB and 64GB eMMC Managed NAND

High-performance, radiation-tolerant eMMC 5.1 storage for onboard computing, mission data and embedded space applications.

More capability on orbit means more data on orbit

As missions move more processing and data handling onboard, storage becomes part of the compute architecture. Frontgrade's 64GB eMMC Managed NAND doubles the capacity of the 32GB option in a managed eMMC 5.1 architecture.

Spacecraft are performing more processing closer to the mission. Autonomous operations, software-defined payloads, onboard data processing and higher-rate sensors are increasing the amount of data that must be stored, accessed and managed in space.

Frontgrade’s 32GB and 64GB eMMC Managed NAND devices provide compact storage options for different mission requirements. The 32GB device supports boot, software and configuration storage, while the 64GB device provides additional headroom for mission data, image storage, logging and other data-intensive onboard workloads.

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

More capacity without changing the storage model

  • 64GB Capacity

    Twice the storage capacity of the 32GB option for increasingly data-intensive onboard applications.

  • Higher Write Performance

    Up to 230 MB/s in HS400 mode, compared with 150 MB/s for the 32GB device.

  • 80 TBW Endurance

    Double the rated endurance of the 32GB option for applications with greater write demands.

  • Compatible Architecture

    The same eMMC 5.1 interface, controller ASIC, 153-ball FBGA package and pinout as the 32GB device.

  • Radiation-Assured Performance

    Maintains the same TID, SEE, and LET performance as the current 32GB device.

  • Qualification and Screening Options

    Offered in Proto, PEM QD, and Space PEM QD screening levels, with flight-grade PEM QD and Space PEM QD options.
