Embedded Memory Solutions

Smaller, faster, cheaper – This is the tenet of most companies designing consumer devices for a few decades now. Every component being designed-in is scrutinized to keep the device form factor small without compromising performance and cost. To push the envelope around overall system performance, memories need to be fast, dense and tiny too. As the performance metrics of...

MCP’s or Multi Chip Packages as they are commonly referred to in the memory industry, are single packages with multiple memory devices inside. While the traditional definition of an MCP could include packages with multiple die of the same technology (like DRAM, NOR or NAND), typically used to attain higher densities, the definition has expanded to include packages that...

Customers expect a certain level of functionality in all of the products they use today, and their vehicles are no exception. This is driving automotive manufacturers to accelerate their design cycles, so that the technology in the vehicle keeps pace with their cell phone features that are updated every year or two.

The need for reprogrammable external memory has always existed and this hasn't changed with modern day computing. In years past, Parallel EEPROM used to be the non-volatile external storage solution of choice - primarily used to store boot code, program code, configuration and data storage. SRAM was used as an external storage solution to store working memory. This...

ZVEI, the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association, invited Micron to present on the complexity and challenges of using consumer components in automotive environments. The ZVEI workshop “Consumer Components in Safe Automotive Applications” was held in Frankfurt on February 25th. This was the first time a memory supplier was included in the workshop. The...

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s largest electronics show has come and gone. 2016 was a record breaking year - over 3,800 event exhibitors unveiled their latest technologies across more than 2.47 million net square feet of exhibit space this year in Las Vegas. This year's CES show, like the ones before it, showed off a mix of the dreamy and the pragmatic in...

Join us Thursday, February 25, at 11 a.m. PST for our webinar called A Managed NAND Flash Guide to the Industrial Galaxy. We will discuss memory trends in the industrial segment and how Micron® e.MMC and SSDs are enabling this industrial revolution.

For most people, a wearable is synonymous with a smartwatch or a fitness monitor, devices that have grown over the years into mature products. While there continues to be room for innovation in each of these device categories, both have “crossed the chasm” – a marketing concept first coined by Geoffrey A. Moore in 1991. In simple terms, this concept refers to products that...

Join us Thursday, February 18, at 11 a.m. PST for our 60-minute free webinar called Serial NOR – The All-Purpose Flash Memory? We’ll discuss the overall NOR flash market and application trends. In addition, we will shed light on past and current transitions with Serial NOR Flash architectures and performance that makes Serial NOR Flash the all-purpose flash memory.

A medical device maker has turned to Micron to meet its multiple memory and storage requirements, which include DRAM and SSDs. GeaCom Inc. (Duluth, Minn.) created Phrazer, a medical device that enables doctors and healthcare providers to evaluate patient status and explain actions through recorded video and touch screen interaction in any language in the world.
