It is now time to reassess the notion of computing speeds with Toshiba’s FeRAM of 128 MegaBit capacity 100,000x faster than the fastest EEPROM in the market. It can change the whole computing scenario drastically combining the Non-Volatile Advantage (Keeping the data in power off condition) of Hard Disk and the fast data transfer speeds of conventional RAM. Want to know the technology?

The Technology

FeRAM or FerroElectric Random Access Memory modified its original chain FeRAMTM architecture with a new architecture that prevents cell signal degradation which is tha main drawback of scaling.There is an additional circuit that predicts and controls the fluctuations of power supply and supports high-speed data transfers.

Setting New Benchmark

Toshiba has now set this benchmark of 1.6 Gbps with 128 Mbit capacity breaking its own record of 200 megabit per sec with 32 Mbit capacity. Toshiba will continue research and development in FeRAM, aiming to further increase in capacity and speeds.

We are waiting to get full details of the new FeRAM this week at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference 2009 (ISSCC2009) in San Francisco, USA.
