FREESCALE MRAM

Freescale unveils Mram, a magnetic memory chip

US company Freescale has unvelied a microchip, Mram, that can store data even when the power is switched off.

US-based Freescale has announced the launch of magnetoresistive random-access memory or Mram, a new kind of microchip that can store data like a hard drive.

The microchip stores data by using magnetic properties instead of an electrical charge. The best part about Mram is that it can keep information after electricity has been switched off.

Mram also has faster read and write speeds when compared to flash memory which can also hold data without power. Mram also does not degrade over time. 

It's thought that Mrams could one day be used in PCs to store an operating system, allowing computers to start up faster when switched on. 

According to a BBC report, a number of chip makers, including IBM, have been developing the technology for a decade or more, but Freescale is the first company to offer a chip with practical usage for many of today's electronic devices.

Freescale is building the chip in volume. It unveiled the chip after producing it for the past two months in an Arizona factory, so that it has a ready inventory.

It is thought that Mram may be used in the future to store the operating system of PCs for quick startup.
