Talk:Ferroelectric RAM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can we have a definition for "near-unlimited"? Or maybe just a real number?  :-) - Omegatron 01:25, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Better now? :) --Shaddack 02:21, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

near-infinitely better.  :-) - Omegatron 02:40, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ramtron?

What's the scoop on the shameless vendor plug?

Are you referring to the purely factual information that Ramtron is the main (perhaps only?) vendor of FRAM chips? --Brouhaha 00:37, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

One must assume this is the case. Perhaps this is a shameless vendor plug from one of FRAM's competitors? Maury 13:06, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Maybe we should update this page, since the statement about Ramtron certainly isn't true now: "Fujitsu started volume production of FRAM products in 1999, and has reached worldwide sales of approximately 500 million chips, including discrete memory chips and chips with embedded FRAM memory. ... Fujitsu doubled the memory capacity from previous products and brought the MB85R2001 and MB85R2002 products to market as early as possible. These 2 Mbit FRAM products are the largest capacity FRAM products at volume production level in the world." From Recent press announcement)--Wildwillywright 17:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Magnetic properties

Is this memory sensitive to magnetic fields?

No, it's electric fields that would be an issue, not magnetic ones. It's not clear whether or not this is a problem in practice -- stray magnetic fields do not cause problems with MRAM for instance, as the field needs to be extremely targeted in order for a write to occur. Maury

[edit] Proposal for Featured article

I think it deserves it. Introduction and conclusion as well as a good explanation of its way of working. Who wants to nominate it?

Please follow the directions at WP:FAC more carefully if you want to nominate the article. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 05:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Figure?

The text mentions a figure that I can't see. Where is it? --pgimeno 16:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This type of ram has been developed

This type of RAM has been developed. http://octopart.com/info/Ramtron/FM24C256-G?c=25&d=0 XU-engineer 01:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flash write time?

There is a line:

Flash memories commonly need about 1 ms to write a bit, whereas even current FeRAMs are at least 100 times that speed.

Am I missing something here? My experience with flash is that it's at least 1000x faster than this.... 125 bytes/sec write time? C'mon!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.166.187.216 (talk) 00:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
