Toshiba Memory America, Inc. announced the launch of a new family of SLC NAND flash memory products for embedded applications. Compatible with the widely used Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), Toshiba Memory’s second-generation Serial Interface NAND can be used in a wide range of consumer and industrial applications that require high-speed data transfers, including flat screen TVs, […]
Flash memory keeps cars connected
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 […]
