64 MB multimedia card now available

Hitachi Europe has introduced what it says is the industry's largest-capacity flash MultiMediaCard (MMC) device - the HB288064MM1. This very small, lightweight, 64 MB module stores enough digital data for over an hour of recording and playback in voice recorders and portable music players such as MP3 players, claims Hitachi. It also allows for increased image storage in high-resolution digital cameras, longer data acquisition times in remote monitoring equipment etc.
For applications that require less storage capacity, Hitachi is introducing a 32 MB MMC device, the HB288032MM1.In addition, the company already offers a 16 MB version, the HB288016MM1.
Hitachi's HB288064MM1 64 MB Flash card conforms to the increasingly popular MMC international standard supported by the MultiMediaCard Association. Convenient, removable and readily transportable, it facilitates easy, plug-in data transfers and program updates between a growing range of products and computer systems.
In addition to all the standard MMC features including simple 7-pin serial interface, rugged construction and low-voltage operation (2,7 to 3,6 V) the HB288064MM1 64 MB MMC device offers fast read and write speeds which enhance product/system performance. Read speed is 14 Mbps and write speed is 3 Mbps which allows a high-speed data transfer path to PCs, handheld devices and the Internet.
The high density and high performance is achieved using 256 Mb AND-type flash memory chips, built with multilevel cell technology and a cell-based IC (ASIC) control device based on a 32 bit SuperH RISC microprocessor core.
