4 unusual facts about flash memory


Floating-gate MOSFET

Some applications of the FGMOS are digital storage element in EPROM, EEPROM and flash memories, neuronal computational element in neural networks, analog storage element, digital potentiometers and single-transistor DACs.

Using the FGMOS as a programmable charge element, it is commonly used for non-volatile storage such as flash, EPROM and EEPROM memory.

Kiryat Gat

In 1999, Intel opened a chip fabrication plant, known as Fab 18, to produce Pentium 4 chips and flash memories.

Vinod Dham

He is also one of the co-inventors of Intel’s first Flash memory technology (ETOX).


Ext2

ext2 is still the filesystem of choice for flash-based storage media (such as SD cards, and USB flash drives), since its lack of a journal increases performance and minimizes the number of writes, and flash devices have a limited number of write cycles.

External Bus Interface

The External Bus Interface, usually shortened to EBI, is a computer bus for interfacing small peripheral devices like flash memory with the processor.

StrataFlash

StrataFlash is a NOR flash memory technology first developed by Intel.
