A new kind of flash memory is optimized specifically to handle the hostile environment imposed on electronics in vehicular uses. Leland Teschler | Executive Editor You’d have to say the NAND flash memory had an inauspicious beginning. Invented in 1987 by Toshiba, the first NAND flash chip didn’t sell until 1995 when it finally found […]
Tech refresher: Basics of flash, NAND flash, and NOR flash
Flash memory stores information in an array of memory cells made from floating-gate transistors. Each memory cell resembles a standard metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) except that the transistor has two gates instead of one. The floating gate (FG) and the control gate (CG) control the current flowing between the source and drain. The CG resembles […]
Persistent memory FLASH chips feature low latency and speed
New Storage Class Memory (SCM) XL-FLASH chips are based on Toshiba’s BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory technology with 1-bit-per-cell SLC. XL-FLASH brings low latency and high performance to data center and enterprise storage. Sample shipments will start in September, with mass production expected to begin in 2020. Classified as SCM (or persistent memory), with the […]
PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD controllers consume little power
Marvell today released the industry’s lowest power PCIe Gen4 NVMe solid-state drive (SSD) controller portfolio. Marvell’s newest SSD controllers are designed to meet the need for lower power and higher performance in next-generation data centers and edge devices as artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G gain momentum. This breakthrough technology delivers unparalleled performance in an ultra-compact […]

MCUs come in ultra-small 64-pin BGA, LQFP packages for cost-sensitive apps
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced four new RX651 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) supplied in ultra-small 64-pin BGA and LQFP packages. The new lineup expands Renesas’ popular RX651 MCU Group with a 64-pin (4.5mm x 4.5mm) BGA package that reduces footprint size by 59 percent compared to the 100-pin LGA, and a 64-pin (10mm x 10mm) LQFP that offers […]
Package boosts security of STM32 code
STMicroelectronics has launched STM32Trust to guide designers’ efforts to build strong cyber-protection into new IoT devices leveraging industry best-practices. STM32Trust combines knowledge, design tools, and ready-to-use original ST software. These help designers take advantage of features built into STM32 microcontrollers to ensure trust among devices, prevent unauthorized access, and resist side-channel attacks. All this averts data theft and […]
Industrial-grade SSDs work over -40 to 85-degree C temperature range
Apacer is adding a new series to its comprehensive product line. The 3D TLC SV250 SSD is now available for buyers who expect the highest performance in industrial applications. Made with ICs sourced directly from Toshiba, it offers capacities from 30GB to 960GB, and up to 3,000 P/E cycles. It has impressive sequential read/write speeds […]
Debug probe accelerates STM32 application development
The STLINK-V3MINI probe, new from STMicroelectronics, combines the enhanced features of STLINK-V3SET with standalone simplicity for faster programming and ease of use, for an even more affordable price, at just $9.75. The compact, portable probe can be used anywhere to upload and debug applications on STM32* microcontrollers. It leverages ST’s 14-pin STDC14 debug cable to support enhanced […]
