SanDisk iNAND e.MMC 4.5 LPDDR2 MCP Preliminary Data Sheet 
 
1.1.  General Description 
iNAND MCP is an Embedded Flash Drive (EFD) and mobile DDR designed for mobile handsets 
and consumer electronic devices. iNAND MCP  is a hybrid device combining an embedded thin 
flash controller and standard MLC NAND flash memory, with an industry standard e.MMC 
4.511 interface and low power mobile DDR. 
Empowered with a new e.MMC4.51 feature set such as Power Off Notifications and Packed 
commands, as well as legacy e.MMC4.41 features such as Boot and RPMB partitions, HPI, and 
HW Reset the iNAND MCP e.MMC is the optimal device for reliable code and data storage. 
Designed specifically for mobile multimedia applications, iNAND MCP is the most mature on 
board MMC device since 2005, providing mass storage of up to 128GB in JEDEC compatible 
form factors, with low power consumption and high performance - an ideal solution for 
multimedia handsets of 2.5G, 3G, 3.5G and 4G. 
In addition to the high reliability and high system performance offered by the current iNAND 
family of products, iNAND MCP offers plug-and-play integration and support for multiple 
NAND technology transitions, as well as features such as advanced power management scheme. 
iNAND MCP uses advanced Multi-Level Cell (MLC) NAND flash technology, enhanced by 
SanDisk’s embedded flash management software running as firmware on the flash controller. 
iNAND MCP 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 
maximize flash life expectancy. 
SanDisk iNAND MCP provides up to 4GB of memory for use in mass storage applications. In 
addition to the mass-storage-specific flash memory chip, iNAND MCP 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.  
iNAND MCP enables multimedia driven applications such as music, photo, video, TV, GPS, 
games, email, office and other applications. 
The breakthrough in performance and design makes iNAND MCP the ideal solution for mobile 
handset vendors, portable navigation and Automotive Infotainment vendors who require easy 
integration, fast time to market and high-capacity.   
1.2.  Plug-and-Play Integration 
iNAND MCP optimized architecture eliminates the need for complicated software integration 
and testing processes and enables a practically plug-and-play integration in the system. The 
replacement of one iNAND MCP device with another of a newer generation requires virtually no 
changes to the host. This makes iNAND MCP the perfect solution for platforms and reference

designs, as it allows for the utilization of more advanced NAND Flash technology with minimal 
integration or qualification efforts.  
SanDisk iNAND MCP is well-suited to meet the needs of small, low power, electronic devices. 
With JEDEC form factors measuring 11.5x13mm (162 balls) form factor compatible with 0.5mm 
ball pitch, iNAND MCP is fit for a wide variety of portable devices such as multi-media mobile 
handsets, personal media players, GPS devices and Automotive infotainment (car multimedia 
and car navigation).  
To support this wide range of applications, iNAND MCP is offered with an MMC Interface.  
The MMC interface allows for easy integration into any design, 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.

1.4.  Functional Description 
SanDisk iNAND MCP contains a high-level, intelligent subsystem as shown in Figure 1. This 
intelligent (microprocessor) subsystem provides many capabilities not found in other types of 
storage devices. These capabilities include: 
  Host independence from details of erasing and programming flash memory 
  Sophisticated system for managing defects  
  Sophisticated system for error recovery including a powerful ECC 
  Power management for low power operation 
1.5.  Technology Independence 
SanDisk iNAND MCP uses 512 bytes as sector size. To write or read a sector (or multiple 
sectors), the host software simply issues a read or write command to the device. The command 
contains the address and number of sectors to write or read. The host software then waits for the 
command to complete.  
There is no host software involvement in the details of flash operations such as erase, program or 
read. This is extremely important since flash devices are becoming increasingly complex with 
current advanced NAND MLC processes. Because iNAND MCP uses an intelligent on-board 
controller, host system software will not need to be updated as new flash memory evolves. In 
other words, systems that support iNAND MCP technology today will be able to access future 
SanDisk devices built with new flash technology without having to update or change the host 
software. 
1.6.  Defect and Error Management 
The SanDisk iNAND MCP contains a sophisticated defect and error management system. If 
necessary, iNAND MCP will rewrite data from a defective sector to a good sector. This is 
completely transparent to the host and does not consume any user data space. In the extremely 
rare case that a read error does occur, iNAND MCP has innovative algorithms to recover the data.

These defect and error management systems, coupled with the solid state construction, give 
SanDisk iNAND MCP unparalleled reliability. 
1.7.  MMC Bus and Power Lines 
SanDisk iNAND MCP with MMC interface supports the MMC protocol. For more details 
regarding these buses refer to JEDEC standards No. JESD84-B451.  
The iNAND bus has the following communication and power lines: 
  CMD: Command is a bidirectional signal. The host and iNAND operate in two modes, open 
drain and push-pull. 
  DAT0-7: Data lines are bidirectional signals. Host and iNAND operate in push-pull mode. 
  CLK: Clock input.  
  RST_n: Hardware Reset Input 
  VCCQ: VCCQ is the power supply line for host interface. 
  VCC: VCC is the power supply line for internal flash memory. 
  VDDi: VDDi is iNAND’s internal power node, not the power supply. Connect 0.1uF 
capacitor from VDDi to ground. 
  VSS, VSSQ: ground lines.
