Overview
Memory system design has been a preoccupation from the computer's very earliest days . Many approaches have been tried, and some of them-static RAM, ROM, DRAM and magnetic-disk storage-have a very long history. Now the system-on-chip generation needs to address these complex solutions for the storage of digital data in the context of total on-chip integration.
