Understanding MCU Flash, EEPROM, and SRAM: Key Differences and Selection Guidelines

Understanding MCU Flash, EEPROM, and SRAM: Key Differences and Selection Guidelines

As a hardware engineer, we often deal with microcontrollers (MCUs). However, when selecting an MCU, in addition to pin functions, we should be more familiar with the three important parameters: Flash, EEPROM, and SRAM. If we do not prepare adequately in advance, we may find ourselves wasting more time and effort later on when we … Read more

Understanding Semiconductor Memory Chips

Understanding Semiconductor Memory Chips

Memory is divided into two main categories: volatile memory (RAM) and non-volatile memory (external storage). The former loses data immediately when power is cut, while the latter is unaffected by power outages and retains data persistently. Classification of semiconductor memory and global market share – 1 – SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) and DRAM (Dynamic … Read more
