Patent ID: 8000122

Claim:
A media player, comprising: a processor configured to execute program instructions including instructions for an operating system and instructions for a media player program; an integrated circuit including a substrate having active circuitry fabricated on the substrate and electrically coupled with the processor; and at least one layer of non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory electrically coupled with the active circuitry, the at least one layer of non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory in contact with and vertically configured above the substrate, and the at least one layer of non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory is randomly accessible and does not require an erase operation prior to a write operation, the active circuitry including an input/output module electrically coupled with the processor and the at least one layer of non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory, the input/output module configured to communicate with an input/output device, and an analog/digital module electrically coupled with the processor and the at least one layer of non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory, the analog/digital module configured to output a media signal, and wherein a first portion of the at least one layer of non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory is configured as a boot ROM to store the operating system and a second portion of the at least one layer of non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory is configured as program memory to store the media player program.
