| | Non-volatile memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Examples of non-volatile memory include read-only memory, Flash memory, and most types of magnetic storage devices which include hard disk and floppy disk drives. | | | Non-volatile memory is a form of computer storage which can retain its state even when not powered. | | | One of the earliest forms of non-volatile read-only memory, the mask-programmed ROM was prewired at the design stage to contain specific data; once the mask was used to manufacture the integrated circuits, the data was cast in stone (or at least in silicon) and could not be changed. |

| | Computer storage |
| | Historically, "memory" referred to "magnetic core memory" in the 1950s, and then to semiconductor-based storage in the 1970s, at a time when the fastest response times were for magnetic core, and then for semiconductor memory, respectively. | | | The terms "storage" ( U.K) or "memory" ( U.S) refer to the parts of a digital computer that retain physical state ( data) for some interval of time, possibly even after electrical power to the computer is turned off. | | | Semiconductor memory (RAM) and magnetic disk are examples of this type of storage. |

| | United States Patent: 6,452,856 |
| | A second logic plane is provided which has a number of non-volatile memory cells arranged in rows and columns that receive the outputs of the first logic plane and that are interconnected to produce a number of logical outputs such that the programmable logic array implements a logical function. | | | Rather, the non-volatile memory cells 100 are selectively programmed to respond to the input lines 312 and change the potential of the interconnect lines 314 so as to implement a desired logic function. | | | The ability of an on chip non-volatile memory means that the processor program instructions, implementing various algorithms, can not only be stored on the die but also can be easily changed to suit a variety of applications. |

| | Memory |
| | There are two types of memory, volatile memory and non-volatile memory. | | | Volatile memory is memory that looses its contents when the computer or hardware device looses power. | | | More commonly known as RAM, memory is a location where information is stored that is currently being being utilized by the operating system, software program, hardware device, and/or the user. |

| | Patent 5497462: Method and circuit for protecting circuit configurations having an electrically programmable non-volatile memory |
| | If the non-volatile memory is formed, for instance, of a EEPROM Flotox cell, then the output 8 of the level switching device 4 is typically connected to the programming line of the memory transistor, and with an activated control input "y", the output 8 is then connected to reference potential. | | | In circuit configurations having a non-volatile data memory in which the memory contents can be decreased, such as smart debit cards, a direct manipulation of the non-volatile data memory of this circuit configuration is attractive to a defrauder. | | | One input of the first OR gate 2 is connected to an input terminal 11, which is acted upon by a signal dependent on the memory contents of the memory cell corresponding to a selected memory address, as well as to one input of a check logic gate 3. |

| | Nanomem - Non Volatile Memory |
| | The main disadvantage of these all metal memory cells was that for high capacity memories applicable to use in computer main storage, a higher value of resistance is desirable in order to reduce the read/write power dissipation. | | | When the magnetisations in the two layers point in the same direction, there is a high probability that electrons can tunnel and the resistance of the memory is low while in the case of opposite directions, the resistance of the memory is high. | | | This proposal addresses the problems which hamper the current state of the art in Tunnel Memories and proposes new solutions aimed at making TRAM the dominant memory technology for future data storage. |

| | The difference between a PROM and a ROM (read-only memory) is that a PROM is manufactured as blank memory, whereas a ROM is programmed during the manufacturing process. | | | Flash Memory: A special type of EEPROM that can be erased and reprogrammed in blocks instead of one byte at a time. | | | The principal difference is that EEPROM requires data to be written or erased one byte at a time whereas flash memory allows data to be written or erased in blocks. |

| | Brad Abrams : volatile and MemoryBarrier()... |
| | The volatile load in the first code has the acquire semantics and is equivalent to the non-volatile load plus the memory barrier in the second code. | | | A memory barrier due to a volatile write prevents *that write* from being brought forward before earlier writes (effectively) but an arbitrary explicit memory barrier only determines that things which occur before that memory barrier in the IL must occur before that memory barrier in execution. | | | In the CLR memory model as described in Chris Brumme's blog ( http://blogs.msdn.com/cbrumme/archive/2003/05/17/51445.aspx), only volatile loads are considered "acquire", but normal loads can be reordered. |

| | Non-volatile memory retains data after the power is shut off, unlike conventional RAM commonly used in computers. | | | If operating systems take advantage of non-volatile memory, computer maintenance can also be simplified. | | | Current non-volatile memory, such as flash memory, has a limited number of write cycles (100,000 to 1 million), is much slower than dynamic RAM, and is expensive. |

| | Self-assembled Nanocells Function As Non-volatile Memory |
| | Dubbed NanoCells, the devices were shown to function as re-programmable memory with memory states that hold for more than a week at room temperature, and probably far longer. | | | Present-day dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, only holds its memory state for about one hundredth of a second and must be refreshed every thousandth of a second. | | | Even if this process is only a few percent efficient in the use of molecular devices, it could result in very high logic densities, making it possible for computer makers to create much more powerful chips. |
