Due to the overwhelming technical advantages of having on-chip memories, embedded memories are ubiquitous in most chip designs, and can comprise significant portions of a chip (upwards of 50%, ...

Data refresh and cell-layout issues must be addressed to optimally implement this space-saving alternative to SRAM technology. As the system-on-a-chip (SoC) era marches forward, there's a pressing ...

Using dual-port memories (“dual ports”) as system interconnects has proven to be an effective interface strategy for bridging multiple processing elements in high-performance applications. Not only do ...

Throughout our waking lives we are exposed to a continuous stream of stimuli and experiences. Some of these experiences trigger the strengthening of connections between neurons in the brain, and begin ...

Dealing with dynamic memory traditionally has been one of the most awkward issues of C and C++ programming. It is not surprising that some supposedly easier languages, such as Java, have introduced ...

An SD card is surely not an enterprise grade storage solution, but single board computers also aren’t just toys anymore. You find them in applications far beyond the educational purpose they have ...

Atmel Corp. today rolled out a set of 0.35-micron and 0.25-micron matrices for FPGA and PLD conversion. The San Jose-based company said its converted memory blocks are 100 percent compatible with ...

A new brain study suggests concentrating too hard won't help your memory. Jan. 24, 2008— -- You're wracking your brain, trying to remember a word or a name, or solve a problem, then suddenly, out ...
