Today, we will share two ways to achieve productization of memory chips.
The first method: ASIC technology. ASIC technology has been widely used in the memory and networking industry to implement memory chips (specialized integrated circuits). In addition to significantly improving system processing capacity and accelerating product development speed, ASICs are more suitable for products produced in large quantities and complete standardized designs based on fixed requirements. In the memory industry, ASICs are typically used to implement certain functions of memory product technology, serve as accelerators, or alleviate the overall performance degradation of the system caused by excessive CPU load caused by various optimization techniques.
The second method is FPGA technology. FPGA technology realizes the memory chip FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), which is the highest level of specialized integrated circuits (ASICs). Compared with ASIC, FPGA can further shorten the design cycle, reduce design costs, and have higher design flexibility. When it is necessary to change the completed design, the redesign time of ASICs is usually calculated in months, while the redesign time of FPGA is calculated in hours. This gives FPGA an unparalleled market response speed compared to other technology platforms. The new generation of FPGA has outstanding characteristics of low power consumption, fast and fast (most tools are calculated in picoseconds to tens of billionths of a second). At the same time, manufacturers can reconfigure FPGA functional modules and I/O modules, and can also program them online to achieve system online reconstruction. This enables FPGA to build a real-time customized soft core processor based on computing tasks. Moreover, there is no limit to the functionality of FPGA, which can be either a memory controller or a processor. The new generation FPGA supports a variety of hardware, with programmable I/O, IP (intellectual property), and multiple processor cores. These comprehensive advantages have led to FPGA being applied by some memory manufacturers to develop fully functional products for memory chip architectures.
To sum up, the current commercialization of memory chips is probably the above two technologies. If you want to know more about memory chips, please continue to pay attention to our website, we will continue to share with you.
