1.  INTRODUCTION 
 
SanDisk iNAND 7250 e.MMC 5.1 HS400 I/F data sheet 
1.1.  General Description 
Overview The SanDisk® Industrial iNAND 7250 is an Embedded Flash Drive (EFD) designed for 
connected devices in Industrial, Industrial IoT, and other IoT applications. This includes 
applications such as security cameras, commercial drones, networking equipment, IoT 
gateways, system on modules (SOM), and others. The Industrial iNAND 7250 enables 
manufacturers to bring the benefits of flash rapid boot-up, high reliability, robustness, 
consistent performance as well as many proprietary features to these new applications.  The 
Industrial iNAND 7250 utilizes an LDPC ECC engine and MLC memory to provide a robust, high 
performance, high quality and high endurance product.  The LDPC engine significantly improves 
error correction capabilities enabling longer device lifetime and an increased ability to handle 
operations at high temperature.  The MLC memory is optimized versus standard MLC memory 
to offer better endurance over the life of the memory, providing more design margin, and also 
leading to a lower uncorrectable bit-error rate (UBER) at any given point over the life of the 
device. 
  
The SanDisk Industrial iNAND 7250 was designed with a specific focus on the Industrial market. 
All SanDisk Industrial grade products go through extensive testing, and are part of a long-term, 
stable roadmap, reducing the complexity and number of qualification cycles that a 
manufacturer may need to perform.  The Industrial iNAND 7250 is qualified to temperature 
ranges from -40oC up to 85oC ambient.  
The Industrial iNAND 7250 is available from 8GB to 64GB of capacity and supports the e.MMC 
5.1 interface. Highlighted features include extended operating temperature support, advanced 
health status, automatic and manual data refresh, RPMB and Boot partition resize, flexible 
EUDA and fast boot mode. Data reliability and product life is improved significantly by the 
internal refresh feature combined with MLC memory and LDPC ECC engine. Industrial iNAND 
7250 also provides 3.3V IO support for legacy designs and hence is suitable for upgrading old 
systems. 
Architecture The Industrial iNAND 7250 combines an embedded flash controller with Multi-
level Cell NAND flash technology enhanced by SanDisk’s embedded flash management software 
running as firmware on the flash controller. Industrial iNAND 7250 employs an industry-
standard e.MMC 5.1 interface featuring Command-Queue, HS400 interface, FFU, as well as 
legacy e.MMC 4.51 features such as power off notifications, packed commands, Cache, boot / 
RPMB partitions, HPI, and HW reset, making it an optimal device for both reliable code and data 
storage.  
Like other SanDisk iNAND products, the Industrial iNAND 7250 offers plug-and-play integration 
and support for multiple NAND technology transitions. 
The Industrial iNAND 7250 architecture and embedded firmware fully emulates a hard disk to 
the host processor, enabling read/write operations that are identical to a standard, sector-
based hard drive. In addition, SanDisk firmware employs patented methods, such as virtual

mapping, dynamic and static wear-leveling, and automatic block management to ensure high 
data reliability and maximizing flash life expectancy.  
The Industrial iNAND 7250 also includes an intelligent controller, which manages interface 
protocols, data storage and retrieval, error correction code (ECC) algorithms, defect handling 
and diagnostics, power management and clock control.  
Combining high performance with features for easy integration and exceptional reliability, the 
Industrial iNAND 7250 is an EFD designed to exceed the demands of both manufacturers and 
their customers.   
1.2.  Plug-and-Play Integration 
iNAND’s optimized architecture eliminates the need for complicated software integration and 
testing processes thereby enabling plug-and-play integration into the host system. The 
replacement of one iNAND device with another of a newer generation requires virtually no 
changes to the host. This allows manufacturers to adopt advanced NAND Flash technologies 
and update product lines with minimal integration or qualification efforts.  
The Industrial iNAND 7250 features a MMC interface that allows for easy integration regardless 
of the host (chipset) type used. All device and interface configuration data (such as maximum 
frequency and device identification) are stored on the device.  
With JEDEC compatible form factors measuring 11.5x13mm (153 balls) for all capacities, the 
Industrial iNAND 7250 is ideally suited for a wide variety of Industrial subsystems where PCB 
space may be limited.
