ABSTRACT
MRAM that uses magnetic properties to store data. This new type of chip will compete with other forms established forms of semiconductor memory, such as Flash and RAM.Most engineers believe that the technology, called MRAM could reduce the cost and power consumption of electronics for cell phones, music players, laptops, and servers. The feature that makes MRAM an alluring alternative to other forms of semiconductor memory is the way it stores data. Flash memory and RAM, for example,Hold information as electric charge. In contrast, MRAM uses the magnetic orientation Of electrons to represent bits. Hold data with out a power supply and can be written to and read from an unlimited number of times. Reading and writing data from MRAM is also fast, taking a matter of nanoseconds. MRAM is able to hold data without power.
