Difference in design for 25 and 25c
Message #1 Posted by exschr on 4 July 2011, 3:12 p.m.

I'm not interested in the user feature "continuous", I know it's the non-volatile memory, but the design difference in HW behind this: is it achieved through exchange of some parts (different parts) or just through adding of additional components?

thanks for hints/pointers/ideas!

Roger

The major step was the technology switch from PMOS to CMOS. The latter allows low power memory save as required by continuous memory.
