Texas Instruments has launched the first of a series of 16bit microcontrollers that use ferroelectric memory (fram) instead of flash, claiming that the combination will save energy in low duty cycle, ...

Ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) is gaining popularity among design engineers as a nonvolatile memory choice. Since memory technologies commonly migrate from standalone to embedded form as ...

Responding to customer demands for both cost reduction and board space conservation, semiconductor manufacturers are adding new functionality to the venerable microprocessor supervisor. Based on ...

TI has taken the precaution of adding a small sram array that can act as a cache – the 50ns access time cannot support the full processor clock speed of 24MHz – as well as an module for correcting ...
