David of Vertical Memory

The Internet of Things (IOT) is the vast network of computerized things (other than computers & servers).  Some these things include contract-less identification devices, smart cards, thermostats, smoke detectors, smart locks, video monitors, etc.  These IOT devices are typically low-power, low-cost single chip systems.  Today’s commodity memory technologies (DRAM, NAND Flash, NOR Flash) do not provide the optimum solution for these complex single chip systems.  New non-volatile memory technologies have emerged over the last 30-years to meet the needs of IOT.  This presentation covers the history and current status of ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) and magnetoresistive RAM (RAM) technologies and products.

Biography:

David Bondurant has been involved with the computer and semiconductor industry for 49-years.  He was a computer architect at Control Data, Sperry-Univac, and Honeywell.  He was involved with the government-sponsored advanced semiconductor program called VHSIC (Very High Speed Integrated Circuits) at Univac & Honeywell where he developed microprocessor and ASIC semiconductor products in bipolar CML, CMOS, and radiation hard CMOS.  He was involved with emerging non-volatile RAM marketing at industry leading companies, Ramtron (FRAM), Simtek (non-volatile SRAM), and Freescale Semiconductor/Everspin Technologies (MRAM) as they became viable over the last 30-years.
