The NCP MultiMediaCard weighs less than two grams and, about the size of a postage stamp, is the world's smallest (24mm x 32mm x 1.4 mm) removable solid-state memory solutions for mobile applications, such as MP-3 music players, portable video games, laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDA's), mobile telephones and digital cameras. These convenient, reliable, rugged and lightweight standardized data carriers store up to 64 Mbytes, sufficient for 64 minutes of MP-3 digital music, or approximately 40,000 book pages.
MultiMediaCard uses ROM technology for read-only applications and Flash technology for read/write applications. The cards are fast for excellent system performance; energy efficient for prolonged battery life in portable products; and cost-efficient for use in systems sold at consumer price points.
Small, light and robust - The NCP MultiMediaCard is the ideal data carrier
It is as if MultiMediaCard is made to measure for the fingernail-sized memory chip. Considerably smaller than a credit card, this innovative card can thus offer all the advantages of miniaturization. In the formats distributed by Hexon Media, NCP MultiMediaCard dimensions are 32 mm x 24 mm x 1.4 mm. Floppy disks and CD's just cannot compete with this. The same applies to its suitability for everyday use. The usual problems, such as scratches, fingerprints, water, etc, will not impair the playback capability of NCP MultiMediaCard.
Its enormous memory capacity can meet all the requirements
As small as MultiMediaCard is, it demonstrates its true superiority when it comes to storing very large amounts of data. Because the card can also be stacked, several MultiMediaCard can be placed in a magazine and selectively addressed at any time. This is possible in a compact design within a very small place - an advantage which especially pays off for mobile applications.
The NCP MultiMediaCard combines the smallest format with an enormous memory capacity. It uses robust low cost packaging and support the stacking of up to 30 cards on a single bus.
Low costs that beat the competition
If all aspects of costs are taken into account, MultiMediaCard is the most inexpensive mass storage device for mobile applications. The 3D-technology alone sets new standards as regards to the cost of a chip. The moulding technology for the packaging is state-of-the-art and the serial interface ensures high reliability and, again, lower costs.
Finally, there is the system technology: the playback units can be compact, need no moving parts, use less power, and have a multifunctional design suitable for multiple applications - at no additional cost. The advantages are many, the biggest one being the costs that beat competing solutions.
The NCP MultiMediaCard is the most intelligent choice for tomorrow's application and devices. It has a wide variety of uses in some of the most exciting products on the market today. '
