New Innovative Specialty Memory Devices Speed Up System Performance

Abstract

Specialty memory devices has been a driving force in innovative system design. Specialty devices are combinations of memory and logic, other than the microcomputer combination, that address a wide variety of applications. They have traditionally offered solutions to critical performance requirements that were otherwise prohibitively expensive or not feasible. As system speeds and integration levels of integrated circuits change, specialty memory devices follow suit, while gaining new applications, and larger markets.
