Most applications that require a microcontroller also require somemechanism to store settings that will be remembered even when power isremoved. For example, a radio that forgets its station presets ...

Samsung’s 3D V-NAND flash architecture increases capacity by layering 24 cells on top of each other (see the figure). The technology improves reliability by a factor of two to 10 while delivering ...

At some point when developing embedded applications, you’re going to want to store unique values in non-volatile memory, values that can’t be fixed at compilation time. Many microcontrollers have a ...

In the distant past, in techno years, semiconductor memories were discrete devices that stored information separately from other primary system functions. Over time, processors combined memory on-chip ...

Non-volatile memory (NVM) systems and architectures have emerged as pivotal components in modern computing, offering the combined benefits of data persistence and enhanced energy efficiency. With ...

A research team has developed hardware and software technology that ensures both data and execution persistence. The Lightweight Persistence Centric System (LightPC) makes the systems resilient ...

Ongoing innovation in semiconductor technologies, algorithms and data science are making it possible to incorporate some degree of AI inferencing capability in an increasing number of edge devices.

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have created a new material platform for non-volatile memories using covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which are crystalline solids with high thermal ...

Non-volatile memory is becoming more complicated at advanced nodes, where price, speed, power and utilization are feeding into some very application-specific tradeoffs about where to place that memory ...
