F-RAM products add package, temperature range alternatives
22 Sep 2014Share this page with your friends
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has enhanced its ferroelectric random access memory (F-RAM) portfolio with a 44-pin TSOPII package option for its 1Mbit parallel asynchronous interface F-RAM and an extended temperature range of
-40?C to 105?C for its 2Mbit serial peripheral interface (SPI) F-RAM.
The latest package option enables pin-to-pin replacement for standard battery-backed SRAM solutions for mission-critical applications in industrial automation, computing, , and automotive electronics. F-RAM's claimed inherent nonvolatility provides instant data capture and retention for 100 years with no batteries, resulting in reduced system cost and complexity.
The extended temperature range for the 2Mbit SPI F-RAM aims to address the challenging operating conditions faced in many high-performance applications in harsh environments.

Robotic glove helps restore hand movements
The device is an improvement from conventional robotic hand rehabilitation devices as it has sensors to detect muscle signals and conforms to the natural movements of the human hand.
K-Glass 2 detects users' eye movements to point the cursor to recognise computer icons or objects in the Internet, and uses winks for commands. The researchers call this interface the "i-Mouse."
