Abstract:
1. An electronic organizer, comprising: a logic block; a memory controller; a processing unit electrically coupled with the logic block and the memory controller, the processing unit including programmed instructions for an electronic organizer operating system; and at least one non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory array that is directly addressed and operative to store non-volatile data in the absence of electrical power, the non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory array is in contact with and is fabricated directly above a silicon substrate including circuitry fabricated on the silicon substrate and electrically coupled with the non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory array and with the memory controller, the circuitry configured to perform data operations on the non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory array, the at least one non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory array is configured to replace Flash memory and to replace volatile memory, the circuitry is configured to emulate Flash memory data operations on replaced Flash memory without performing a Flash erase operation prior to a write operation, and the circuitry is configured to emulate volatile memory data operations on replaced volatile memory.
