SSD enthusiasts know all about SLC, MLC, and TLC, but there are some new acronyms in SSD town: V-NAND and CTF. Samsung announced in a press release last night that it has begun mass production of "3D ...

Using just two NAND or inverter gates its possible to build a D type (or ‘toggle’) flip-flop with a push-button input. At power-up the output of gate N2 is at a logical ‘1’, ensuring that transistor T2 ...

Toshiba today announced the development of the first 48-layer, three-dimensional flash memory. Based on a vertical stacking technology that Toshiba calls BiCS (Bit Cost Scaling), the new flash memory ...

The NAND flash technology that Toshiba introduced in 1989, making thumb drives, SSDs and your smartphone’s memory possible, has finally reached a development dead end. Toshiba and other major ...

The explosive growth in the market for mobile phones and other portable electronic devices has been propelled by ongoing decreases in the cost and power consumption of integrated circuits. This is ...

Some more interesting material from the 2019 Semicon. I ran into Ed Doller, formerly with Intel and now at Doller Consulting Group, at the Semicon. He said that the majority of transistors made today ...

Samsung has announced production of the first solid state drives (SSD) based on its new 3D V-NAND flash memory. V-NAND flash memories read and write twice as fast as conventional NAND memories, and ...

Intel took half a day this week to talk about processor manufacturing technology. The company still believes in Moore's Law and says the principle will continue to guide and shape the microchip ...
