CMOS Image Sensors

Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors operate at lower voltages than CCDs, reducing power consumption for portable applications. Analog and digital processing functions can be integrated readily onto the CMOS chip, reducing system package size and overall cost.

DRAM Memory Chips

Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips are single-transistor memory cells that use small capacitors to store each bit of memory in an addressable format that consists of rows and columns. Because capacitors are unable to hold a charge indefinitely, DRAM memory chips require a near-constant pulse of current to retain stored information.

FLASH Memory Chips

FLASH memory chips offer extremely fast access times, low power consumption, and relative immunity to severe shock or vibration. They do not need a constant power supply to retain their data.

MASK ROM (MROM)

MASK ROM (MROM) chips contain software (a mask) that is burned onto the chip during the semiconductor manufacturing process.

Memory Chips

Memory chips are internal storage areas in computers. Although the term “memory chip” commonly refers to a computer's random access memory (RAM), this product area includes many different types of electronic data storage. Computer memory stores data electronically in cells. Without memory chips, a computer could not read programs or retain data.

SRAM Memory Chips

SRAM chips use static random access memory (SRAM), a type of memory that is faster, more reliable, and more expensive than DRAM. Unlike DRAM, SRAM does not need to be refreshed in order to prevent data loss; however, SRAM requires more power than DRAM.
