ReRAM redo: UCL spinout scores £7M to push Resistive RAM Memory startup Intrinsic Semiconductor Technologies has scored funding aimed at bringing its Resistive RAM to market, which it grandly states will enable a new generation of smart devices and systems with embedded intelligence. The UK company, which was founded in 2017 by researchers from University College London (UCL), said …
Back in the day an early version of a similar (IIRC based on SrTiO3) technology made it into greetings cards.
Interesting note, if they went after the applications where capacity is less important than quality ie for recording video, then they might be onto something.
Having a few odd distortions in a video is a minor irritation, and can potentially be worked around in software by pre-mapping the chip and simply doubling up
on the areas where distortions exist then do on-the-fly corrections.
One thing I could do with is a 25x compatible chip that can store 1-4 GB but only be the size of an 8 pin BIOS IC, however none exists.
Yes there are microSD cards but its not the same and 128Mbit is about the upper limit if you want it to be compatible.
