About
Yuji Kihara is a pioneering researcher in the field of advanced memory systems, with a primary focus on Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) and its application in mobile and robotics platforms. His most notable contribution is the development of a 75MHz MRAM featuring a pipe-lined self-reference read scheme, which significantly enhances operational speed and efficiency. This innovative design incorporates a read-modify-write mechanism and a mixed mat architecture, enabling continuous readout—a critical advancement for real-time processing in autonomous systems. Kihara’s work also includes a novel self-reference sense amplifier supported by a voltage transferred circuit, which improves read reliability and reduces power consumption. Although his seminal 2005 paper has garnered 4 citations, its impact lies in laying foundational principles for high-speed, low-power memory solutions that are essential for modern robotics and mobile devices. His achievements demonstrate a deep understanding of memory architecture and circuit design, positioning him as a key contributor to the evolution of non-volatile memory technologies.
