Board Mounted Memory Support Batteries for Telecom Applications

Abstract

It is not so long ago since memory protection would have implied the use of a helmet to protect an American football player or a coal miner:' However, in our present sophisticated world where the semi-conductor chip is as widely known as the Big Mac Hamburger, protection now implies the use of a storage device to maintain a semi-conductor memory should the regular power supply be removed. We will review memory protection in the semiconductor as 3 main application areas:
