Nishanth' tech rambles

Thanks to my boss, here is an article which gives some basics.. it speaks of convergence technologies and fundamentals. There is lots of emerging techologies such as MCL NAND based devices which expose MMC interface to host, etc..

--NAND flash preps for 4 bits per cell-- Single-chip 16-Gbit MLC NAND flash devices from 50-nanometer-classprocesses were introduced in the first half of 2007. http://newsletter.embedded.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBFuD0FyTZ10FrY0FhNF0Ef --NAND to scale for several years-- NAND flash is projected to scale at least for another five or soyears, pushing out the need for next-generation or universal memorytechnologies. http://newsletter.embedded.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBFuD0FyTZ10FrY0FSzc0EX --16-Gbit MLC NAND flash weighs in-- To meet increasing demand for more digital storage, leading flashmemory manufacturers are touting their latest single-chip 16-Gbit MLCNAND flash devices. Earlier this year, Toshiba announced a 16-Gbit MLCNAND flash manufactured in the 56-nm process node. Samsung, meanwhile,introduced a 16-Gbit MLC NAND flash using a 51-nm process, a half aprocess node ahead of Toshiba's. http://newsletter.embedded.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/eBFuD0FyTZ10FrY0FhNG0Eg
