A professor at Tohoku University Invented in 1984 How did the word flash emerge First launch by Intel

Introduction
Non-volatile electrically erased and reprogrammable computer memory . Stores information in an array of floating gates transistors. There are two main types of Flash Memory :
NOR Flash NAND Flash

Classification
Nor Flash
Introduced in 1988 by Intel Random access Endurance cycle

Nand Flash
Introduced in 1987 by Toshiba Endurance cycle Secondary Storage device

Working Principle

Types of Flash Memory

There are many different flash memory types available on the market. Some of them are the size of a penny, and others as big as a credit card

Secure Digital (SD Card) USB Flash Memory Smart Media Cards Compact Flash Memory Stick

New Developments
AND Flash
Bit line replaced with embedded diffusion line to reduce cell size Low power dissipation (3V)

DINOR (DIvided bit-line NOR) Flash

Attempts to reduce the chip real estate compared to conventional NOR Low power dissipation (3V), sector erase, high data transfer rate

In Closing
One of the most popular alternatives for portable device storage Aggressive advances are still being made

Any Queries ?
THANK YOU
HAPPY ROSE DAY TO ALL
