New processing-in-memory technology for next-gen AI chips
Renesas has announced it has developed an AI accelerator that performs CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) processing at high speeds and low power to move towards the next generation of Renesas embedded AI (e-AI), which will accelerate increased intelligence of endpoint devices. A Renesas test chip featuring this accelerator has achieved the power efficiency of 8.8 TOPS/W (Note 1), which according to the company, is the industry's highest cla...
Applications are driving the long-term growth of memory
Despite some cyclicality and seasonality, the stand-alone memory market has experienced extraordinary growth over the past decade. This has been driven by important megatrends, such as mobility, cloud computing, AI, and IoT.
Accelerated roll-out of 5G CPE modems with multi-chip package
Winbond Electronics has announced the launch of a new 1.8V 2Gb+2Gb NAND Flash and LPDDR4x memory product in a compact 8.0x9.5x0.8mm multi-chip package (MCP). The new W71NW20KK1KW product, combines robust Single Level Cell (SLC) NAND Flash and high-speed, low-power LPDDR4x memory.
How to use serial EEPROM memory for storing data
Using the Arduino Platform and basic coding, in this video from Digi-Key, Robin shows how it possible to store data on a serial EEPROM memory chip with the I2C serial bus.
Ceramic hermetic DDR2 memory available for space
Data Device Corporation (DDC) has introduced what is believed to be the first CCGA Rad-Hard DDR2 SDRAM for space applications, the latest addition to DDC's wide range of high density space grade ceramic hermetic memories, spanning Flash (NAND/NOR), SDRAM, SRAM and EEPROM solutions.
Driving up NAND flash capacities to support the data-driven future
Data is interwoven into the fabric of our lives, regardless of how much or little we personally interact with the digital world. Successful, reliable and long-term data storage ensures that everything, from massive data centres and AI platforms down to menial wireless sensors and even our kitchen appliances, continue to function around us. And it is flash silicon-based memory technology that is increasingly being chosen to make this possible.
Flash memory achieves larger capacities and faster read operation
Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas Electronics, has announced the development of a new flash memory technology that achieves larger memory capacities, higher readout speeds, and over-the-air (OTA) support for automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) using the next-generation 28nm process.
Memory modules on show at Computex 2019
