Book cover Bits on Chips

Abstract

Memories are circuits designed for the storage of digital values. In a computer system, memories are used in a large variety of storage applications, depending on memory capacity, cost and speed. Figure 6.1 shows the use of memory storage at different hierarchy levels in a computer system.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note: Not every reader has access to the published articles of microelectronic conferences and magazines. A lot of effort has therefore been given to refer to those publications that are directly accessible through web pages on the Internet. However, these data may be volatile because some owners update and change the contents on their web pages, so that some of the references below may only be accessible during a short time after the print of this book. Finally a lot more information on the various subjects can be found by searching the Web with the right entry, which can be easily extracted from the corresponding subject. Good Luck!
