By combining NOT and OR gates, you can easily make a NAND gate, an AND gate, a NOR gate, and any other logic you can dream up. Mechanical computing is decidedly old school, but not at these scales.

NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR). Electronic gates operate on two nominal voltages, normally 0 V and 5 V, representing the logic 0 and the logic 1, respectively. The AND gate has two inputs A and B.

NAND Flash is named after the NAND (NOT-AND) logic gate, which is used in its basic architecture. The term "NAND" is derived from the way the memory cells are organized in a series-connected structure ...

The NAND and NOR designations actually refer to the logic circuits on the chips (for more details, see flash memory and logic gate). Traditional flash memory has a single layer of cells ...

NAND FLASH memories are non-volatile, inexpensive and of high capacity. These characteristics make these devices ideal for fulfilling the storage requirements in the exploding mobile device market.

The achievement of 294 total layers (or gates per vertical NAND string) not only positions ... technology to connect the flash array with CMOS logic and interface, which enables the company ...
