Process and device technologies have had to overcome numerous technical challenges as DRAM memory devices have transitioned between different cell architectures. When DRAM technology nodes went beyond ...

Many designers think of embedded DRAM—that is, DRAM arrays fabricated on logic SOCs (systems on chips)—as a technological artifact: a technique designers a few years ago tried in moderate-performance ...

System architects increasingly are developing custom memory architectures based upon specific use cases, adding to the complexity of the design process even though the basic memory building blocks ...

Much of the architectural debate among designers of SoCs in media processing applications is focusing not on processing architectures, but on the interface to external DRAM memory. Some have learned ...

CEO Andy Hsu will introduce new applications and variations for 3D NAND flash and 3D DRAM, including a new AI application called "Local Computing", drastically increasing AI chip performance to a new ...

This week, at the 2020 International Electron Devices Meeting, imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, presents a novel dynamic random-access ...

Engineers can now turbocharge their designs without having to sacrifice DRAM's high bit density to run at near-SRAM speeds. For applications where performance is of primary importance, designers have ...

Scratch-pad memory (SPM) has been widely used in embedded systems because it allows software-controlled data placement. By designing data placement strategies, optimal solutions with minimal memory ...

NEO Semiconductor has unveiled its "3D X-DRAM", which it is pitching as the world's first 3D NAND-like DRAM cell array. Based on Neo's estimates, 3D X-DRAM technology can achieve 128 Gb density with ...

According to NEO Semiconductor, the result is high-speed, high-density, low-cost, and high-yield - a bold claim. The company notes that the technology can achieve an impressive 128 GB density with 230 ...

There was a time when the hierarchy of persistent storage products consisted of just disk and NAND flash storage. But today a new layer has become possible, between disk/SSD and memory. It is often ...
