Source : http://www.eetimes.comThe well known RAM manufacturers, Hynix, has signed a license agreement with Grandis to jointly integrate Grandis' STT-RAM technology into Hynix' future memory products.
The STT-RAM (Spin-Transfer Torque Random Access Memory) is a next-generation non-volatile memory (NVM) solution which might overcome the limitations of current conventional magnetic RAM (MRAM) technologies:
- lower power consumption
- faster read/write capability
- higher endurance
- lower manufacturing costs
Hynix will most likely try to manufacture such RAM modules with 40-nm or lower process node to become the leader in this field with such technology. If the STT-RAM proves to be reliable, deliver results according to expectations, than it shou
