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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Toshiba today announced the development of the first 48-layer, three-dimensional flash memory. Based on a vertical stacking technology that Toshiba calls BiCS (Bit Cost Scaling), the new flash memory ...

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 ...

Samsung researchers have published a detailed account of an experimental NAND architecture that aims to cut one of the technology’s largest power drains by as much as 96%. The work — Ferroelectric ...

There's every reason to consider solid-state drives (SSDs) as the primary storage medium for PCs and laptops. The benefit of SSDs over traditional spinning drives is immense. No moving parts enables ...
