ATP unveils world’s smallest 6.7 mm e.MMC to power next-gen smart wearables
ATP Electronics has become the first e.MMC manufacturer to further shrink the e.MMC size to 6.7 mm. Built on 125-ball Fine Ball Grid Array (FBGA), the new E700Pc / E600Vc solutions shatter dimension constraints, making them the world’s smallest and the first of its kind. As a further miniaturisation of the previous “smallest” package of 7.2 x 7.2 mm introduced in early 2025, the new e.MMC offerings are 67% smaller compared to standard-sized e.MMC while retaining advantages such as power savings and thermal resilience, making them ideal for applications where energy and space are premium considerations.
