Memory

Industrial applications have lagged behind in NVMe adoption for too long. The demand for high-performance flash storage devices in industrial applications has never been greater, yet NVMe devices have failed in achieving satisfactory performance and durability in such applications. With Innodisk’s industrial NVMe product lineup, true NVMe performance is finally available in products optimised for tough industrial use.

Lattice Semiconductor and Etron, the memory IC and SoC innovator, have announced a memory controller reference design for Etron’s low pin-count RPC DRAM to enable low power Edge AI and video processing in applications requiring a compact form factor, including industrial cameras, drones, AR/VR systems, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

I'M Intelligent Memory has doubled its maximum offerings of DDR3 memory-capacity again to 16 Gigabits per component. While most DRAM manufacturers produced DDR3 memory with a maximum of 4Gb per chip, Intelligent Memory followed its motto ‘beyond limits’ having offered DDR3 devices with 8Gb capacity for more than six years.

Micron Technology has announced new client solid-state drives (SSDs) that bring NVMe performance to client computing applications, freeing laptops, workstations and other portables from legacy architectures that can rob devices of battery power, performance and productivity.

In the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, manufacturers of medical technology are increasing their production capacity. The critical data storage modules they require can be obtained from Swissbit. Medical device customers can continue to be sure of reliable supply by the company, which produces its memory solutions in Germany.

Picosun Group, provider of the AGILE ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) thin film coating solutions for global industries, and A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME), Singapore, have strengthened their collaboration in next generation high performance memory technologies.

Nexsan has announced the general availability launch of the E-Series 32F storage platform, the most compact, high density QLC SSD solution, offering 245TB of storage using QLC SSD drives in just 2U of rack space, and up to 491TB if configured with TLC SSD drives.

Industrial SD memory cards from Panasonic are in stock for immedieate shipment at distributor TTI.

Micron Technology has announced a heterogeneous-memory storage engine (HSE), open-source storage engine designed specifically for solid-state drives (SSDs) and storage-class memory (SCM). Legacy storage engines born in the era of hard disk drives (HDDs) failed to architecturally provide for the increased performance and reduced latency of next-generation nonvolatile media.

Renesas has announced a new precision temperature sensor, the TS5111, targeting DDR5 memory modules as well as a host of other applications such as solid-state disks (SSDs), computing motherboards, and communications equipment that require accurate, real time temperature monitoring.
