This document presents an overview of Ovonic Unified Memory (OUM) as an emerging non-volatile memory technology. It discusses the limitations of current memory technologies like DRAM, RAM, and flash memory. It then provides details on the fundamentals and operation of OUM, which uses electric current to reversibly switch between amorphous and crystalline phases in chalcogenide materials for data storage. Key advantages of OUM include non-volatility, high density, low cost, and highly scalable properties. The document concludes that optimized OUM has potential for low power operation and radiation tolerance.
