Noise Margin Enhancing ULVR SRAM Cell (Tokyo Institute of Technology)


A new technical paper titled "A New Ultralow-Voltage Retention SRAM Cell Enhancing Noise Immunity" was published by researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Excerpt "A new ultralow-voltage retention (ULVR) SRAM cell is proposed, which can highly enhance the noise margin (NM) for the ULVR mode at ultralow voltages (VUL). This 8T cell is configured with newtype Schmitt-trigger (ST) i... » read more

3D NAND PUF Researchers from Seoul National University developed a new hardware security technology based on commercially available 3D NAND flash memory. The approach is an adaptation of physical unclonable functions (PUFs) with the ability to hide a security key under user data when not in use and reveal it only when needed. The same memory space used for storing security keys can be repurpos... » read more

Si-photonics chip emits beam of light MIT researchers developed a miniature, chip-based “tractor beam” that could help scientists study DNA, classify cells, and investigate the mechanisms of disease. The device uses a beam of light emitted by a silicon-photonics chip to manipulate particles millimeters away from the chip surface, while the sample remains sterile under its glass cover. T... » read more
