SONOS Non-Volatile Memory Technology

By Infineon - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

The demand for embedded flash memory has grown steeply over the years as many new applications emerged in consumer electronics (touchscreens, smart cards, bank cards, mobile payment, e-passport, etc.) in addition to the industrial system-on-chip (SOC) designs. The memory content of these applications has been increasing steadily due to greater requirements on system performance and code/data st... » read more

Will In-Memory Processing Work?

By Brian Bailey - 16 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 1

The cost associated with moving data in and out of memory is becoming prohibitive, both in terms of performance and power, and it is being made worse by the data locality in algorithms, which limits the effectiveness of cache. The result is the first serious assault on the von Neumann architecture, which for a computer was simple, scalable and modular. It separated the notion of a computatio... » read more

System-In-Package Vs. eNVM

By Yafeng Zhang - 21 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

The booming automotive and IoT markets are driving increasing demand for microcontrollers (MCUs). Recent forecasts project that the overall MCU compound annual growth rate (CAGR) will reach 4% over the next five years, and in particular the automotive MCU CAGR could reach close to 14%. Non-volatile memory (NVM) is a critical element of MCUs, as it is needed not only to store the code, but al... » read more
