To simplify integration, many of the early embedded NAND solutions used single-level cell (SLC) NAND, which stores one bit per cell, with a host microprocessor that included a NAND interface. The ...

The growth of embedded processor cores in the programmable-logic world has often been difficult, with different vendors proposing various solutions. Implementing a processor core within a programmable ...

Executing code directly from non-volatile memory, where it is stored, greatly simplifies compute architectures — especially for simple embedded devices like microcontrollers (MCUs). However, the ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...
