No matter which flash-memory-programming method you use, optimization of the programming algorithm is a key consideration. It has the potential to reduce flash-programming time and, therefore, ...

In the late 1980s memory devices changed in a flash. Intel and Toshiba spearheaded the development of flash process technology to create a new class of products. Prior to flash-based memory devices, ...

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, San Jose, CA. – The Cheetah Flash Vector Programming system is said to deliver the fastest flash programming of NAND and NOR flash memory at speeds as low as 2.5% over ...

When [sticilface] started using the Arduino IDE to program an ESP8266, he found he was running out of RAM quickly. The culprit? Strings. That’s not surprising. Strings can be long and many strings ...

Much like the end of Moore’s Law, the scaling challenges of flash memory have been a significant issue for several years. Embedded flash memory is reaching its limits as technology nodes for embedded ...

In the world of computers and electronics, there are a lot of terms that can be perplexing. One such term that often crops up is "ROM." But what is ROM, and how does it function within the framework ...

Flash memory is ubiquitous, especially in mobile devices. Available in a wide range of form factors, it continues to push hard-disk drives from more and more platforms as its costs go down and ...

There’s hardware support for erasing all the Flash, erasing one page, programming one row, and programming one word. Because [Gene] expected one bit to work after it had failed and vice versa, the ...

Editor’s Note: NAND and NOR Flash memory play an integral role in embedded systems of all sorts but successful implementation requires careful attention to key ...
