non-volatile memory

The article describes a pre-silicon strategy for the design and verification of SSD controllers that is faster and more flexible than ICE using physical NAND on a daughter-card.

The open NVMe standard is helping non-volatile memory storage reach its true potential with increasingly rich verification support

This article describes various non-volatile memory (NVM) intellectual property (IP) alternatives with specific reference to their integration within system-on-chip designs targeting the 65nm process node and below. The article considers many of the strengths and vulnerabilities of these IP options, and then describes the tests that must be undertaken to ensure their long-term reliability, particularly [...]

Since the early 1980s,most of the semiconductor business has been enthralled by the microprocessor, the PC and commodity DRAMs. For all the talk of potential ‘better markets’ and ‘more profitable businesses to be in’, PCs and their brethren came to represent 35- 40% of the industry’s output. They constituted the prime platform for not only […]
