Working Principles

GE28F160C3TD70A is based on the floating gate transistor technology. It utilizes a floating gate structure that can trap and store electrical charges, representing digital information as binary states. The presence or absence of charges determines whether a memory cell stores a "0" or a "1". These charges can be electrically programmed or erased, allowing for data storage and modification.

Detailed Application Field Plans

• Consumer electronics: Used in smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, and portable media players for data storage.
• Automotive: Employed in infotainment systems, navigation devices, and engine control units for storing firmware and data.
• Industrial automation: Utilized in programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), and data loggers for storing configuration settings and logged data.
• Networking equipment: Integrated into routers, switches, and network attached storage (NAS) devices for storing firmware and network configurations.
