As I mentioned above, a semiconductor has a dual property – conductor and insulator of electricity. This property depends on impurities added to the semiconductor material (Apure such materialis called an “intrinsic”). The impurities added to the material to change its electrical property are ca...
What is Semiconductor Memory? Semiconductor memory is a type of semiconductor device tasked with storing data. There are two electronic data storage mediums that we can utilize, magnetic or optical. There are two Semiconductor memory types (Volatile memo
Basics of Nonvolatile Semiconductor Memory Devices 1.0.Maes, H E
Memory chipsstore information. There are two types of Memory: volatile and non-volatile. Volatile Memory chips, such as DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), are the ‘working memory’ chips that save data only while the device’s power is turned on. Non-volatile Memory chips such as NAND F...
Microcontrollers are semiconductors that integrates a central processing unit (CPU), memory, and input/output ports (I/O ports) into a single package. They are used to control a very wider range of electronic products, including home appliances, automobi
There are many different types of semiconductor memory that are available these days. Choices need to be made regarding the correct memory type for a given application. Possibly two of the most widely used types are DRAM and SRAM memory, both of which are used in processor and computer scenari...
An essential working tool for electronic circuit designers and students alike, Advanced CMOS Cell Design is a practice-based guide to today's most sophisticated design and simulation techniques for CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) integrated circuits. Written by two internationally renowned ...
Traditionally, an MP3 player requires a semiconductor memory to store MP3 data. MP3 players capable of reading data directly from a CD and without 'help' from a PC are few and far between. That may change, however, with the home-brew MP3 player described in this short series of articles....
The bus line is also known as the Front Side Bus, local bus, or memory bus. The bus line is made up of three busses: the data bus, the address bus, and the control bus. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA): A semiconductor IC that is designed to be easily configured or ...
A typical example of a barometric pressure sensor is a piezo-resistive type that uses silicon semiconductor. ROHM barometric pressure sensors are silicon-based piezo-resistive types. Piezo-Resistive Type Barometric Pressure Sensor Piezo-resistive pressure sensors utilize a single Si crystal plate as a ...
