TSMC's cutting-edge 22ULL embedded Resistive RAM (eRRAM) chip is here featured in Nordic Semiconductor’s new nRF54L SoC devices, this advancement promises enhanced performance for IoT solutions. TechInsights uncovered the Nordic BT 5.4 SoC nRF54L15 within the Fanstel EV-BM15 Evaluation Kit. This SoC utilizes TSMC’s 22ULL eRRAM platform, highlighting Nordic’s commitment to cutting-edge technology for superior IoT performance. TSMC introduced its 40 nm RRAM platform in 2019. The 22 nm RRAM now represents the second generation of eRRAM, integrating advanced 22 nm CMOS technology and rivaling embedded Spin-Transfer Torque Magnetic RAM (STT-MRAM). ReRAM stands out among emerging memory technologies, including STT-MRAM, Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM), and Phase-Change Memory (PCM), as a strong contender to replace embedded flash (eFlash). Key benefits include high resistance to radiation, making it ideal for harsh environments, and maintaining functionality in high electromagnetic fields. Unlike charge-based devices, ReRAM avoids leakage problems, ensuring reliability. The TSMC 22ULL eRRAM chip signifies rapid advancements in memory technology, promising enhanced performance and reliability for next-generation IoT devices. Solutions like ReRAM are poised to play a crucial role in the future of electronics. Source:Techinsights

Do you know what is Source Measure Unit (SMU)? Essentially, Keithley SMUs are fast-response, read-back voltage and current sources with high accuracy measurement capabilities, all tightly integrated in a single enclosure. SMUs combine the capabilities of a semiconductor parametric analyzer, precision power supply, true current source, Precision Digital Multimeter (DMM), low-frequency ARB pulse generator, electronic load, and trigger controller in one box. This is a four-quadrant instrument. #Semiconductor,#investigadoresUanl,#sistemasIntegrados,#Electronica,#IngenieriaElectrica,#InteligenciaArtificial,#Hardware,#VehiculosElectricos,#Tecnologia,#Ingenieria,#Testing,#Semiconductores,#Monterrey,#Coahuila,#HomeAppliances,#Electronics,#Medicaldevices,#Aerospace,#ElectricVehicles,#Automotive,#Manufacturing,#SupplyChain,#Nearshore,#Engineeringinnovation,#Design
