ECC RAM isn't just for servers—here's when your PC actually needs it ...

The scrub of death is scarier in theory than in practice.

Soft errors caused by background radiation can corrupt memory content, resulting in a loss of critical data. A hardware ECC block in Cypress's new synchronous SRAMs ...

High-density NAND flash memories are key components in the burgeoning consumer market. Applications are rapidly expanding beyond USB keys and MP3 players to cell phones, media players, and game ...
