Nondestructive Read-Out Devices

  • Chapter
Ferroelectric Memories

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Advanced Microelectronics ((MICROELECTR.,volume 3))

Abstract

All the devices discussed so far in this book have destructive READ operations. Since a memory may be written perhaps only 106 times but read 1012 times, this reset operation involves a lot of switching and fatigue that could be eliminated in a NonDestructive Read-Out device (NDRO).
