The use of edge computing is growing across applications such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), robotics, medical devices, wearables, artificial intelligence, automotive, and portable designs. Along with this growth is the need for high-speed, low-latency, non-volatile, low-power, low-cost memory for uses such as program storage and data backup. While there are many options available, including static random access memory (SRAM), dynamic RAM (DRAM), flash, and electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), each of these widely used technologies require tradeoffs in one or more areas to that make them less than ideal for edge computing.
