Panasonic Japan has a press release out detailing the availability of a microprocessor kit for evaluation that integrates a reram nonvolatile memory chip with a microcomputer. Are transputers back? Panasonic hopes to make the starter kits available for evaluation by May. They will “[…] make a direct connection to the USB port of your PC, […]
Let the claims begin! Memory papers will be in abundance at this years IEEE Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits. IMEC (the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre out of Leuven, Belgium) has started it off with a summary of what will be presenting on hafnium oxide and other alternatives for formulation of ReRAM. One paper of interest […]
The June 2012, Vol. 100, Issue 6 of the Proceedings of the IEEE will have a special issue devoted to “Memristors: Devices, Models and Applications”. An overview of what will be available, and links to the early access, are below: The Fourth Element – Leon O. Chua Port-Hamiltonian Formulation of Systems With Memory -Â D. […]
Elpida Memory Inc. has produced a ReRam [nonvolatile resistance memory, a DRAM/flash memory competitor] prototype on 50nm at a 64-Mbits capacity, with 10ns write cycles, and 1 million read-write endurance cycles. The substrate material is undisclosed: The prototype was jointly developed with the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a Japanese-funded public institution. […]
Intel and Micron announced today they have hit the 20nm Flash MLC NAND target. Last months Toshiba milestone of 24nm NAND flash now has competition. Its being reported that Intel and Micron are sending out samples of 20nm NAND flash, at 2 bits per cell, in 8GB die area sizes of 118mm to selected customers: […]
A paper titled “Transient ferromagnetic-like state mediating ultrafast reversal of antiferromagnetically coupled spins”, submitted last September, has finally made it into Nature Letters, and shows some promise for increasing the reach of spin computing speed, particular to the exchange interaction between Gadolinium, Cobalt, and Iron: …We use the element-specific technique X-ray magnetic circular dichroism to […]
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
