Advanced non-volatile embedded memory for a wide range of applications

Abstract

Non-volatile memory is at the cutting-edge of technology for LSIs and is used in a wide variety of applications ranging from low-power IoT (Internet of Things) devices to high-performance ECUs (engine control units) for automobiles. Since there is currently no universal non-volatile memory, each chip should be equipped with a non-volatile embedded memory best fitted for its application. Fortunately, various kinds of non-volatile memory exist, including emerging memories.
