Moore Memory Problems
By Brian Bailey - 09 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

The six-transistor static memory cell (SRAM) has been the mainstay of on-chip memory for several decades and has stood the test of time. Today, many advanced SoCs have 50% of the chip area covered with these memories and so they are critical to continued scaling. “The SRAM being used in modern systems is similar to the SRAM they were using in the 1970s and 1980s,” says Duncan Bremner, ch... » read more

Big Data Needs Bigger Memory
By Kilopass - 04 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

By Rodrigo Liang Over the last few decades, the semiconductor industry has focused its considerable technical investments in accelerating software applications. Performance metrics for new semiconductor products are often correlated with their ability to lower the latency to access data required to run specific software applications. The need for increased performance from semiconductors ... » read more

A Low-Cost, Low Power Memory Solution For IoT Devices
By Kilopass - 04 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects everyday devices onto the Internet to gather information using sensors, embedded systems, and MEMS (micro-electrical mechanical systems). That information is then processed to increase efficiency or enable new services. With the proliferation of smartphones, tablets and laptops, industry estimates that there are currently more than five-billion devices ... » read more

Memory Design At 16/14nm
By Brian Bailey - 28 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

As we get older the memory may start to fade, but that is not a viable option if we are talking about embedded memory. Chips contain increasing amounts of memory, and for many designs memory consumes more than half of the total chip area. “At 28nm we saw a few people with greater than 400Mbits of memory on chip,” says Prasad Saggurti, product marketing manager for Embedded Memory IP at [... » read more

Is The IoT Safe To Use?
By Ernest Worthman - 11 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

By Ernest Worthman & Ed Sperling Data security has been a problem since well before the invention the computer, and it has been getting progressively more difficult to contain every year for the past eight decades. It was made much worse when computing was decentralized with the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981, made worse again when networking was introduced into corporations by Novell'... » read more
