Cypress announced an FRAM non-volatile memory family for mission-critical data capture at Embedded World in Nuremberg. With a serial interface, the Excelon family offers high-speed data recording in harsh operating environments over wide temperature ranges. Excelon Auto offers automotive-grade 2 to 4Mbit storage in AEC-Q100 options with ISO 26262 functional safety compliance Excelon Ultra offers 4-8Mbit industrial-grade storage with a 108-MHz Quad ...
Nexus has launched Datakey’s Industrial DFX memory tokens and receptacles in the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and DACH regions. The tokens have SD Card NAND flash memory function in a RuggeDrive form. Operation is over ‐40 to +85°C. “The Industrial DFX is ideal if you’re looking for memory storage that gives you the flexibility and functionality of an SD card, with ...
Fujitsu’s first product of a FRAM process die shrink is the MB85RS2MTA. The chip is a 2 Mbit FRAM device with SPI interface. Apart from the commercial benefits, IC offers a series of technical advantages. The maximum operating frequency has been increased from 25 MHz up to 40 MHz at 3 V supply. The device consumes max 2.0 mA active ...
Micron and Intel are to go their separate ways on 3D NAND. They will continue to co-develop 3D XPoint. “Micron’s partnership with Intel has been a long-standing collaboration, and we look forward to continuing to work with Intel on other projects as we each forge our own paths in future NAND development,” says Scott DeBoer, Micron’s EVP of technology development, ...
Microchip SST26WF064C ‘SuperFlash’ memory offers 64Mbit with reduced power consumption by combining Dual Transfer Rate (DTR, output data on both clock edges) with what the firm claims is the industry’s fastest erase times: it “completes a typical chip erase in just 35ms”. Operating at frequencies reaching 104MHz, it also features execute-in-place (XIP), to eliminate code-shadowing on SRAM, plus a hardware-controlled ...
Toshiba is sampling its 10TB MG06 Series Enterprise Capacity HDD s. The 10TB drives have maximum sustained transfer rate of 237MiB/s and an MTTF of 2.5M hours. The drive provides a SATA 6Gbit/s interface and 7,200 rpm performance. It supports emulated 512 Advanced Format (512e) technology for compatibility with legacy applications and operating environments; or 4K native sector technology for ...
Toshiba has launched a microSD UHS-I card with a read speed of up to R100 MB/s and which is shock proof, water resistant and x-ray proof. Available in memory capacities from 16GB to 256GB and targeted at the mainstream customer with its cost-effective entry-level design in the UHS-I category, the microSD M203 offers mobile users faster transfer speed and the ...
Everspin has begun sampling a 1Gigabit Spin Torque Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (ST-MRAM) with lead customers. A high-endurance, persistent memory with a DDR4- compatible interface, the chip enables storage system vendors to enhance the reliability and performance of storage devices and systems by delivering protection against power loss without the use of supercapacitors or batteries. Enterprise SSD designers can take ...
Sony and IBM are claiming a record magnetic tape data storage record, at 201Gb/in2, ~20x greater than IBM’s latest enterprise tape drive. “The resulting technology can support approximately 330TB per data cartridge, whereas conventional technology can only handle 15TB per data cartridge”, said Sony (see footnote). Behind the announcement is Sony’s lubricated magnetic tape technology with IBM Research Zurich’s newly ...
