By Alex Martinez, Memory Products Division Microchip Tecnologies The type of memory a designer selects for an embedded project drives overall system operation and performance, ...

The increased code size and data logging requirements of such systems exceeds the embedded non-volatile memory capabilities of microcontrollers. External memory is needed to match increasing density ...

Let’s start by looking at the energy used by the non-volatile memory during writing by a typical 3.3-V EEPROM with a standby current of 1 µA, a write time of 5 ms and a write current of 3 mA ...

Non-volatile memory will increase by a compound annual growth rate of 9.96 between 2016 and 2022, when the entire sector will be worth $81.51 billion USD.

EEPROM memory, which recently celebrated its 50th birthday, continues to defy obsolescence. Despite its age, EEPROM remains a mature, reliable, and affordable technology for many electronic systems.

As an alternative to embedded flash, designers have historically utilized an external Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) to bridge the gap in 16k- to 64k-bit counts. EEPROM ...

The embedded EEPROM memory can replace standalone memory and reduce overall component count and system cost. Integrated CPU Supervisory Functions The X1288 products have a complete set of integrated ...

The MCU also has flash memory, so why the FRAM? “FRAM can take endless write-erase cycles, flash and EEPROM are limited. FRAM is also very fast. Writing to EEPROM could take you 20ms,” Irv Lustigman, ...

Virtual Silicon Technology Inc. of Sunnyvale, Calif., and HynixSemiconductor Inc. of Ichon, South Korea, today announced a multi-year partnership forembedded EEPROM and flash technology. The two ...
