Cypress Semiconductor and InPhase Technologies teamed up to develop an image sensor CMOS, for the holographic data storage system Tapestry, by InPhase.
Cypress and Inphase se have collaborated since 2005 to develop an ultra sensitive and Ultra-fast CMOS image sensor to satisfy high reading speed of data recorded by Tapestry. The sensor of Cypress CMOS images are characterized by a digital interface which has 1696 x 1710 pixels and 8 microns. The solution allows you to read data at 500 frames per second.
The holographic drive Tapestry of 300r, which stores 300 gigabytes (GB) of data on the same disk, at a transfer rate of 160 megabits per second (Mb/s), will be available on the market in the second half of 2007.
Holographic storage it records data all over the disc, and not just on the surface. With each laser impact, a data page of approximately one million bits is recorded. Each data page is located in a single address within the disk and many pages of Data, each with its own unique address, is recorded in the same location of the medium. Each of these collections of data pages then form books.
This new way of recording allows more holograms to be stored by layers in the same volume of material; and not only of pages, but also of data books. This dramatically increases density. of storage.
