Bit Banding in STM32 CORTEX M4
I am confused in the bit banding of Cortex M4. I was going through the datasheet of STM32F446ZE and found in the memory map there was only written SRAM (112 kB aliased
By bit-banding) What does that ...

How does PCIe work?
I have gotten very confused with how PCIe works. I read that PCIe is a memory mapped protocol. That is, if the GPU wants to write to the CPU it will access the DDR memory located on the motherboard ...

SRAM not writing properly after radiation exposure
I have an SRAM memory device GM76C88AL with this datasheet. The RAM was exposed to a radioactive beta source (~2MeV) for some time (about 2 hours). The source was just right above it (placed on it), ...

Creating ping-pong buffer using a simple dual port RAM
In this buffer, we have two sections. Let's call these A and B. At one time we write into one but read from the other. So we write into A and read from B, or we write into B and read from A. We can ...

How to access more storage?
I am doing a project with an STM32 chip. It needs to access megabytes of storage, but the chip can only access up to 32 Kilobytes of Flash memory.
Is there a way to add more memory?

Simplest way to interface a high-speed (125 Msps) ADC: FIFO, RAM, SerDes or FPGA
I have a 1.8 V, 125 Msps ADC (ADS4125) with an output of 12-bit parallel LVDS or CMOS. The system is operating in bursts: the data is sampled for 8 - 30 us, with a 100 ms wait time in between. I need ...

How to handle unused 32-bit data, dqs and dbi on DDR4 SODIMM module
In a design, I have used a DDR4 SODIMM module, which has 64-bit data, thus 8 groups of data (DQ), DQS and DBI.
However, I will only use the lower 32 bit on the module, thus have to handle the ...

How are oscilloscopes able to fill DDR SDRAM memory without interruptions from memory refresh?
From the many teardown videos, it is clear that modern oscilloscopes mostly use DDR memory. But this memory needs to be refreshed periodically. Which should interrupt the data stream. I understand ...

What does transfer rate in RAM actually mean? How do you actually measure it?
From what I gather, transfer rate is how many bits you transfer via the bus at once with every clock. So the formula would be: frequency (in MHz) * 2 (because of DDR) * bus width (because I think it's ...
