If this is exactly what you need, then best go to the roots. SanDisk produces this stuff under the iNAND moniker. Digikey appears to have that stuff (search "inand"), although all of them are non-stock. Don't hope for a datasheet. I bet, more of SD-card makers stick this stuff together, haven't seen any yet.

Be prepared for all this stuff being BGA, as it is apparently intended primarily for the bored teens toys (read: small form factor), with the tightest packing of the balls one can imagine (yes, half a dozen of signals on whopping 169 balls). Not what you want to solder instead of the (mini-micro)SD card holder.

Throughout my ehm carreer I tried to avoid the PC-related stuff like plague (and nowadays the same would apply for the bored teens toys). It all vapourises way too fast for me, even if some of it seems to be very nice at the first glance.

Embedded SD Memory - anyone seen any?            01/01/70 00:00      
   what's the point?            01/01/70 00:00      
      A microcontroller != flash memory controller            01/01/70 00:00      
         of course not, it's just one task of many ;-)            01/01/70 00:00      
            You actually gain a lot            01/01/70 00:00      
               whatever            01/01/70 00:00      
                  even more to the roots            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Solderability not a problem            01/01/70 00:00      
            There are advantages            01/01/70 00:00      
      Memories can be purchased separately.            01/01/70 00:00      
         memories... of the shelf...            01/01/70 00:00      
            Pricey and consumes a lot of processor pins            01/01/70 00:00      
               an interesting overview            01/01/70 00:00      
               Is 8 pins a "lot of pins"?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Not SD - the linked memory            01/01/70 00:00      
                     is 17 a very large number? ;-)            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Show me your solderable SD module            01/01/70 00:00      
                           there's nothing to prevent you from soldering a micro-SD            01/01/70 00:00      
                              That's stretching it a bit            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Every extra pin needed can be very expensive            01/01/70 00:00      
   There's cheap SD with PCI            01/01/70 00:00      
      Oddly enough ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         connector issue            01/01/70 00:00      
         The only "issue" is their connector            01/01/70 00:00      
            as opposed to MMC, which uses the same connector            01/01/70 00:00      
   Found it - "iNand"!            01/01/70 00:00      
      how does its cost compare            01/01/70 00:00      
         Dunno            01/01/70 00:00
