INTRODUCTION
National Institute of Science & Technology

• Flash Memory is solid state non-volatile


memory.
• It stores electrical charges rather than
magnetic media.
• Flash memory is light,compact,energy
efficient and less expensive.
• it is a ideal storage medium for digital
camera,smart card etc.

WHAT IS FLASH MEMORY?


National Institute of Science & Technology

• Flash memory is electronically erasable,


electronically programmable, (generally)
read-only memory.
• From an embedded system designer’s
perspective, the key difference between
flash memory and EEPROM is that flash
devices are block structured; that is, while
flash memory locations are individually
programmable, they are not individually
erasable the way they are with EEPROM.

National Institute of Science & Technology

• Flash memory is erased in sections


whose sizes and locations in the chip are
defined by the part’s manufacturer.
• As a result, once a flash memory location
is programmed, the entire section
containing the location must be erased
before that location can be programmed
again.

HOW FLASH MEMORY WORKS


National Institute of Science & Technology

• Flash memory is a type of EEPROM chip.


• Flash memory cell consists of two transistors
and these transistors are separated by a thin
oxide layer.
• One transistor is called floating and other one
is control gate.
• A cell censor monitor the level of charge
passing through floating gate. if the flow
through the gate is greater than 50%of charge
its value is ‘1’. If charge passing drops below
50% threshold it’s value is ‘0’.

MLC TECHNOLOGY
National Institute of Science & Technology

• MLC stands for Multi Level Cell


• MLC Technology allows storage multiple bits
per memory cell by charging memory cell to
different voltage level.
• These significantly increase the number of
bits stored per area.
• It may store per cell or thee bits per cell.
• It significantly decrease the cost per
Megabyte.

HOW TO ERASE & WRITE TO FLASH?


National Institute of Science & Technology

• Flash memory is a type of EEPROM chip.


It has a grid of columns and rows with a
cell that has two transistors at each
intersection. The two transistors are
separated from each other by a thin oxide
layer.
• Programming algorithms specified to Flash
controller is used to control Flash memory.

ADVANTAGES
National Institute of Science & Technology

• Flash memory is noise less.


• It allows faster access.
• It is smaller size and lighter.
• It has no moving parts.

LIMITATIONS
National Institute of Science & Technology

• Flash memory costs five to ten times


more than standard DRAM.
• Another downside is the overabundance
of formats.
• Huge premium to pay power saving of
flash memory.

FLASH APPLICATIONS
National Institute of Science & Technology

Nonvolatile storage needed but battery


not desirable.

In an application where long-term data


storage is required but a battery is not
desirable, flash provides an ideal alternative
to battery-backed static RAM.

CONCLUSION
National Institute of Science & Technology

• Flash memory thus can provide an


alternative to conventional DRAM memory.
But it’s cost has to be decreased
drastically to ensure that it replays the
DRAM quickly.

• By use of MLC technology the memory


capacity of flash memory can be increased
and thus the cost can be decreased.
