DRAM alternatives coming out of soft memory memristor technology opens new doors

Hong Kong and LTC4006EGN-4 datasheet and Taiwan, according to media reports, the National Institute of Standards and LTC4006EGN-4 price and Technology (US National Institute of Standards and LTC4006EGN-4 suppliers and Technology; NIST) is currently being soft memristor (Flexible memristor) research and development, hoping to open a new memory technology the door. Although this technology quite innovative, but in fact last year it has been demonstrated first by HP External flexible form, whom the outside world amazing.

Under "CENT" report, NIST said that the current memristor (memristor) is a sunscreen with titanium dioxide ─ toothpaste made from raw materials, is a kind of thin and flexible transparent polymer. NIST research team that developed this new memristor in less than 10 volts to operate, even if the electricity was cut off the memory capacity can be maintained, but also in the expansion of more than 4,000 cases, able to operate effectively.

Nist researcher Nadine Gergel-Hackett said in a statement: "We hope to be widely used in electronic products of the present and create a soft and flexible memory components, to further promote the development of flexible electronics and Metrology. " ?

Now, NIST research team used a fairly inexpensive technology can create the memristor, they rotate through the titanium dioxide in the "sol-gel method," the liquid form, put it on display in a transparent sheet , then let dry at room temperature polymer. Researchers in a report that this manufactured non-volatile memory to maintain physical fitness group for 14 days.

Nadine Gergel-Hackett also said: "As the memristor can be made out from the liquid, the future has great potential, maybe the next memory block can become the body of the manufacturing process is simple and cheap, as we Currently it printed on a transparent slide the practice. "

Assumptions about the memristor back in the 70s in fact, has been proposed by scholars, but until 2008 only by the HP researchers actually prove its existence. As recalled in the absence of current through the resistance under the body, but also the memory capacity previously adopted, the public will not have to worry about the next reboot the computer because of the loss of data. The technology also further enhance the chip performance, but also allow more compact chip size, or even replace the current used in the dynamic random access memory (DRAM).

NIST also stressed that the memristor could bring more development space for the chip, not only made the field of application of the technology can even be used to monitor blood sugar and heart of the medical uses.
