The book provides a comprehensive and in-depth view on the
state-of-the-art embedded memory technologies. The book helps
practicing engineers grasp key technology attributes and advanced
design techniques in nano-scale VLSI design. It also helps them
make decisions concerning the right design tradeoffs in real
product development. This book first provides an overview on the
landscape and trend of embedded memory in various VLSI system
designs, including high-performance microprocessor, low-power
mobile handheld devices, micro-controllers, and various consumer
electronics. It then shows an in-depth view on each different type
of embedded memory technology, including high-speed SRAM,
ultra-low-voltage and alternative SRAM, embedded DRAM, embedded
nonvolatile memory, and emerging or so-called “universal” memories
such as FeRAM, MRAM, and PRAM. Each topic covers all the key
technology attributes from a product application perspective,
ranging from technology scaling challenges to advanced circuit
techniques for achieving optimal design tradeoff in performance and
power. As VLSI systems become increasingly dependent on on-die
memory to provide adequate memory bandwidth for various
applications, the book gives readers a broader view of this
important field and helps them to achieve their optimal design
goals for different applications. This book provides readers a
broad knowledge on the entire embedded memory technologies in order
to better comprehend the technologies and create optimal memory
solutions in real applications.
