The logic gate was my only familiarity with the term.
- remram 6y agoFlash memory comes in multiple flavor, named after the logic gates that the organization of their transistors resemble. So there is NAND Flash, NOR Flash, and Vertical NAND Flash memory. I agree that referring to "NAND Flash Memory" as "NAND" is rather confusing. Similar to referring to "crypto-currency" as "crypto".
- segfaultbuserr 6y agoAnd similar to referring to a "CMOS image sensor" as "CMOS" or referring to a "battery-backed CMOS SRAM" (for BIOS configuration) as "CMOS"... But due to historical reasons (e.g. CMOS made battery-backed SRAM possible, NMOS or PMOS drains the battery in no time), these terms are stuck forever.
