The use of RFID and contactless smart card technology is exploding and devices (e.g. tags, tokens, cards) all require embedded memory arrays that suit the needs of the application. All of these ...

The type of memory a designer selects for an embedded project drives overall system operation and performance, so obviously this is a very important decision. Whether the system runs on batteries or ...

Today's system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs typically contain micro-controllers, digital signal processors, memories, peripherals, and physical interface connections to external devices in a single package ...

Last month we wrote about the different components that form contactless smart card chips and we followed the manufacturing process from silicon to finished card. This month we’ll take a more in-depth ...
