96-layer BiCS FLASH prototype from Toshiba uses QLC technology
https://www.electronics-lab.com/96-layer-bics-flash-prototype-from-toshiba-uses-qlc-technology/
Toshiba Memory Europe has developed a prototype sample of a 96-layer BiCS FLASH, memory device using its proprietary 3D flash quad level cell (QLC) technology, claimed to boost single-chip memory capacity to the highest level yet achieved. QLC technology increases the bit count for data per memory cell from three to four, “significantly expanding capacity” […]
Introduction to the silicon photomultiplier (SiPM)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/introduction-to-the-silicon-photomultiplier-sipm/
App note from ON Semiconductors about SiPM sensors, explaining the working principle and primary performance parameters. The Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) is a sensor that addresses the challenge of sensing, timing and quantifying low-light signals down to the single-photon level. Traditionally the province of the Photomultiplier Tube (PMT), the Silicon Photomultiplier now offers a highly attractive […]
