Abstract

From the Publisher:Since its introduction as a commercial product, flash memory has been adopted into a very broad range of applications, ranging from proprietary embedded systems to personal computers. Finally, a book has been written on this innovative technology, helping you master techniques for integrating it into your designs. Here's where you'll get all of your flash-related questions answered: How does it work? What are the different types, and how do they differ? What is a flash file system? What special hardware and software do flash cards require? Learn detailed flash memory design principles. Become an expert in implementing and optimizing systems containing flash memory, whether used for embedded firmware or secondary mass storage. Starting with the fundamentals, this book explains the read, write and erase mechanisms of the flash cell, including the software algorithms for the various flash memory technologies. Flash memory voltage generation and power consumption is another very important, and often overlooked, topic covered here. This book sorts out the essential elements of a flash file system and provides an analysis of the different approaches in use today. Learn how to implement the flash memory control signals and interpret AC timing waveforms. Discover what it takes to integrate flash cards into your PCMCIA or ExCA compatible systems, both from a hardware and a software standpoint (including a detailed explanation of Socket Services). Designing with Flash Memory is the flash "bible". If your job requires you to be up to date on the newest technology, you need this book now!
