can reduce costs by making small changes to product design, such as decreasing the thickness of gold plat- ing. By reducing the amount and con- centration of precious metals needed, firms can reduce costs, while main- taining reliability. Partnering with a third-party precious metals supplier allows the company to select metals that will be most compatible with
SMART Modular Releases Industrial Flash Storage
NEWARK, CA — SMART Modular Technologies has launched its new BGAE440 family of eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) products under the brand name DuraFlash™. DuraFlash is SMART Modular’s
designation for durable Flash memory solutions that are built to higher stan- dards to deliver the durability and reliability expected in industrial embedded market segments. The BGAE440 eMMC product
family is designed for industrial embedded applications and complies with JEDEC eMMC v5.1 specifica- tions. DuraFlash BGAE440 is avail- able in both 153-ball 0.45 x 0.51 in.

devices, and improve efficiency and stability. Next, invest in recycling initia-
tives. Most respondents to Tanaka’s survey (54 percent) reported that they replace or upgrade smart devices every one or two years. And, though respondents said they knew how to recycle smart devices, only 16 percent said that they do so. Instead, consumers exchange old devices (40 percent) or keep them (26 percent). When precious and rare metals are consumed without being recycled, global supply is depleted more quick- ly and material prices increase. In
addition to its environmental impact, recycling programs can be an effec- tive way to ensure a steady supply of precious metals. Recycling materials also reduces costs by allowing compa- nies to reuse materials in the manu- facturing process. With the market changing so
quickly, manufacturers must remain informed about the products con- sumers want and the ways they can adapt materials in response to trends. Without an ongoing process to optimize and improve product design, a company may run into hic- cups when the demand for devices
booms. Adopting a flexible strategy for
acquiring materials by partnering with a trusted supplier and encour- aging consumers to participate in recycling programs ensures that a company can continue to respond to consumer desires during and after the pandemic. Contact: Tanaka Precious

(11.5 x 13 mm) and 100-ball 0.55 x 0.71 in. (14 x 18 mm) standard BGA packages. Able to withstand harsh operat-
ing environments, designing with the BGAE440 eMMC product family ensures protection against extreme hot and cold temperature ranges, gradient change, excessive vibration, high humidity, salt fog, and dust, as well as exposure to sulfur dioxide. The BGAE440 eMMC also
addresses the need for soldered down flash storage in embedded systems. Unlike typical eMMC products
that are suitable for consumer appli- cations, such as mobile phones and tablet PCs, the BGAE440 eMMC is designed specifically for industrial embedded computing applications. Contact: SMART Modular
