Abstract :
The authors present an overview of the application of various memory technologies for flight data recorder (FDR) systems. Memories considered include battery-backed static RAM, full-featured EEPROM, flash EEPROM, and optical disks. FDR systems are particularly dependent on nonvolatile memory technologies, which must be selected based on the various functional, environmental, and cost-associated requirements of the applicable system. In order to select the memory technology best suited for a particular system application, a thorough understanding of the various specifications of each memory component type is required. The authors discuss these issues in detail
