Faster, Easier And More Scalable: Samsung PRAM MCP
Electronics and technologies develop with the speed of sound. Now Samsung has come up with a product that will mark a shift in the electronics market.
Together with Numonyx BV–the major memory supplier of the day–Samsung took up producing the first Phase Change Memory(PRAM) multi-chip package (MCP). This 512 megabit PRAM memory module is coming to compete with the flash memory, which is yet the main nonvolatile technology used in memory cards and USB devices.
PRAM MCP is expected to become Samsung basic memory product and it is very likely to completely replace the flash memory modules like DRAM or NOR flash.
This will be the first time when the phase change memory module will be applied to different gadgets, mostly the mobile phone models and other multimedia devices.
The advantage of this module over flash memory is its specific material and the way it functions. The data storage is realized via a phase change of the flash material–the titanium, germanium and antimony alloy of the PRAM transfers from one level of electrical resistance to the other, thus saving or erasing data without any additional interference.
These new chips raise the memory and functional productivity of the gadget they are applied to.
With the minimal usage of power, phase change memory chips are three times faster in reading and writing speeds than flash memory devices.
They are much more scalable and are capable of saving more data without erasing the already existing data.
By substituting your smart phone flash memory with the phase change memory you will extend your battery life significantly.
Besides this PRAM MCP will be more capable of adjusting to and cooperating with the growing demands of high-speed and high-density data transfer than flash memory modules.
The structure and design is similar to previous formats and even simpler, so make the manufacturing process easier and promote its usage in gadgets.
We will all have the opportunity to experience this unprecedented Samsung memory module this autumn.
