New ReRAM chip consumes 50-100 times less power for IoT
Adesto Technologies today introduced a new conductive bridging RAM (CBRAM) memory chip for battery-operated or energy-harvesting electronics used in the Internet of Things (IoT) market.
Adesto's new CBRAM chip, a form of resistive RAM (ReRAM) non-volatile memory, is able to perform read and write operations with 50 to 100 times lower power than NOR flash.
The line of chips, called Moneta, will only store up to 256 kilobits (Kbit) of data each because they're meant for use in sensors or wearables where they only temporarily store the data before transmitting it. The chips will be used in everything from medical devices and industrial machinery to building HVAC systems.
