    1. Having these videos available at that time would have been great, I spent a lot of mental effort understanding such deep concepts, and here I see them so well (maybe also because I already know them);
    2. Love the passion that is behind the creators of these video, you give a small bite of the toughness of engineering to everyone. Thank you for everything! Please continue.

    Some information seems missing:
    ~ This shows how to bring electrons into the charge trap, but what about making them leave?
    ~ If turning the gate on reading the threshold voltage, doesn't reading the threshold voltage also write a value?
    ~ This shows how to write zero or one, but not how to write 8 levels. If you hold the gate, does it increase over time? Or, do you just use a different voltage to target different 3-bit values. Does the SSD clear the bit before writing every time?

    • @Bhuvan_MS
      @Bhuvan_MS 2 місяці тому +3

      1) A negative potential is applied on the gate so that the electron cloud is repelled. This makes them leave the charge trap.
      2)The applied voltage must have been less than the threshold voltage(I am not 100% sure on this though).
      3)The 8 states can be represented using the level of electron cloud in a charge trap. It would be 000 for a completely empty charge trap, and 111 for a completely filled charge trap.
      Imagine a water bottle having a capacity of 800mL. 0mL would represent 000. 100mL would represent 001, 200mL would represent 010 and so on. And finally, 800mL would represent 111. That's how it works.

Because if you have millions (well billions nowadays) of bits making up one photo for example located in many cells, you're going to need an extremely reliable way of being able to find all the bits in each cell needed to make said photo

      @davidthacher1397 4 роки тому

      The technology is almost exactly like RAM. SRAM is probably different. That RAM is fast and can use a decent amount of power. However slower RAM is more like an array of capacitors yet still fairly fast. This is basically capacitors that is optimized for huge arrays which limit speed to a degree. However the architecture can allow it to be fast via parallel work. It does not need a tape/rotary head which forces a fast serial notion. This can make it more efficient also. Serial notions are easier and can work well for certain things however they have a few drawbacks. Most systems resist change and faster changes more so.
      Memory is basically a capacitor. Lot of things are basically capacitors. Energy tends to follow a pattern.
