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 ...

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 ...

It's getting increasingly expensive to continue along the chip trajectory predicted by Moore's Law, the observation that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every year or two. One way that ...

For the last few years the media has debated which Flash memory technology, NAND or NOR, will emerge as the market winner. This discussion implies that the different Flash technologies are essentially ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Organic semiconductors have long held promise for enabling deformable electronic devices that can be manufactured at low cost and high volumes using printing techniques. However, ...

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 ...
