Solid state drives deliver power efficiency
Designed for easy installation and optimised for enhanced PC experience, the Intel Solid State Drive (SSD) 600p Series accelerates office applications, 4K video playback, HD content creation, and everyday gaming. They are now in stock at Mouser Electronics. Compared to traditional hard drives, these SSDs deliver power efficiency, a small form factor for system flexibility, and better overall performance.
Hyperstone flash memory controllers implemented in CodeMeter hardware
Wibu-Systems has integrated Hyperstone’s controllers in all of its hardware secure elements (CmDongles) equipped with flash memory. With a lineup of form factors (microSD, SD, CF, CFast cards, and USB devices), Wibu-Systems has selected Hyperstone’s technology, which is known for meeting the reliability and data integrity demands for NAND flash memory storage devices in demanding industrial embedded applications.
Memory offers unlimited endurance with safe data storage
A low-cost, low-risk memory solution has been announced by Microchip, it offers unlimited endurance and safe data storage at power loss. This I2C EERAM memory is an easy to implement, Non-Volatile SRAM (NVSRAM) that can be used by applications that need to constantly or instantaneously record, update or monitor data in sectors which include metering, automotive and industrial.

Astute Electronics has strengthened its new memory division portfolio by signing a UK and Ireland deal for Innodisk’s industrial embedded flash and DRAM storage products and technologies. Innodisk focuses on industries such as aerospace, defence, industrial and cloud storage to name a few, and where a commitment to quality service is vitally important.
Serial flash memory devices expanded in EMEA
Fabless provider of non-volatile memory and advanced 32-bit MCU solutions headquartered in Beijing, China, GigaDevice Semiconductor, has expanded its sales and marketing activities in the EMEA region, where it has several reps and distributors and is set to open its European headquarter soon.
Brain-inspired device to power artificial systems
Research led by the University of Southampton has demonstrated that a nanoscale device, called a memristor, could be used to power artificial systems that can mimic the human brain. ANNs exhibit learning abilities and can perform tasks which are difficult for conventional computing systems, such as pattern recognition, on-line learning and classification. Practical ANN implementations are currently hampered by the lack of efficient hardware ...
New lower power consumption extends battery life in mobiles
Two high-speed CMOS mobile synchronous DRAMs (MSDR) have been introduced by Alliance Memory, designed to extend battery life in mobile devices. Featuring low power consumption of 1.8V and a number of power-saving features, the 51Mb AS4C32M16MS and AS4C16M32MS are offered in 8x9x54mm ball and 8x13x90mm ball FPBGA packages.
Storage server with Dual Cavium ThunderX processors
WIN Enterprises, Inc. announces the PL-81060, a high-performance server with dual Cavium ThunderX processors optimised as a Cloud and Data Center server. ThunderX is the Cavium 64-bit ARMv8 server processor family for next generation high-performance computing and hyperscale datacenter workloads. The unit provides up to 248 TB of storage. The 64-bit ARM-based PL-81060 uses the standard-size 2U chassis that is popular in the cloud market.
Memory management better accommodates chips
A year ago, researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory unveiled a fundamentally new way of managing memory on computer chips, one that would use circuit space much more efficiently as chips continue to comprise more and more cores, or processing units. In chips with hundreds of cores, the researchers’ scheme could free up somewhere between 15 and 25 percent of on-chip memory, enabling much more effi...
Flash family range expanded
A new device has been added to the family of 24nm flash SLC (single-level cell) memory devices from Toshiba Electronics Europe that provides a capacity of 16GB in an industry-standard 48-pin TSOP package.
