New intelligent vision systems for the home, based on advanced image signal processors (ISPs), are in effect function-specific computers. The latest products in this category have adopted computer-like architectures which depend for low latency, highly responsive operation on fast DRAM system memory to store the application code running on the ISP...

As the world emerges from the Covid-19 crisis, it is likely to leave lasting impacts not only on the patients who have been treated by dedicated doctors and nurses, but also generally on the way that medicine is practised. As a leading manufacturer of specialty memory ICs, Winbond is constantly looking ahead to understand the broad trends in areas such as the medical equipment market...

In most systems in automobile, DRAM is responsible for storage of program codes and computing data, and it plays a more important role during the development of automobiles with more and more ICT functions, which include but are not limited to personal computers (PCs), servers, mobile devices and...

Around the world, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the strict lockdowns which governments have imposed to try to control the spread of infection, have brought short-term upheaval to every aspect of people’s lives. How does a memory IC manufacturer such as Winbond ensure that it is ready to meet the changed requirements of electronics device OEMs...

The use of semiconductor memory has grown and the size of these memory cards has also increased to accommodate large amounts of storage. To meet the growing demand, new memory technologies are introduced by expert memory technology companies like Winbond Electronics Corporation...

Embedded developers should open their minds to the potential benefits of replacing SPI NOR Flash with serial NAND Flash for storing mission-critical boot and application code, and to reconsider their assumptions about the reliability, longevity and performance of NAND.

HyperRAM™ is a new technical solution which supports the HyperBus™ interface. The first generation of it offers a throughput up to 333 MB/s, and HyperRAM™ 2.0 made it possible to boost up to 400 MB/s.

Developers of security-conscious applications now have a new way to implement encryption and other essential functions while benefiting from memory provision sufficient for today’s systems and for future application developments.

5G is a technology platform which supports many potential use cases and end product types. This eliminates the need for a considerable portion of the 5G protocol software code base, and means that a smaller, and cheaper, NAND Flash device for code storage can be used.

Automotive displays, both in the instrument cluster and in the Centre Information Display (CID), or head unit, are becoming larger, more sophisticated and more numerous. Car users have grown accustomed to interacting with technology via colourful graphics rendered on large, high-resolution displays.

Demand for automotive memory is showing explosive growth in recent years as a result of maturing ADAS technology, increasing demand for in-vehicle infotainment systems and automotive display as well as instrument cluster display gradually upgrading from 4.5-inch panels to 12.3-inch smart panels. 

How little-known data protection settings in NOR Flash can help improve system reliability. SPI NOR Flash is the electronics design engineer’s favourite memory type for low-density, high-reliability storage of application code and data in embedded systems with a storage requirement of up to 512Mb.
