Aeroflex licenses MRAM technology from Everspin, to make memory solutions for aerospace and defense applications

EverSpin logoAeroflex Colorado Springs has licensed MRAM technology from Everspin for the development of HiRel nonvolatile memory solutions for aerospace and defense applications. Aeroflex will develop 4Mb and 16Mb MRAM monolithic solutions with guaranteed total ionizing dose and single event effect hardness. Aeroflex envisions HiRel MRAM solutions being used with microprocessors, DSP engines, storage systems, instruments, and reconfigurable FPGAs that require guaranteed total ionizing dose and single event hardness.

Aeroflex’s MRAM roadmap includes a family of -55oC to +125oC, QML products offered in ceramic packages per a Standard Microcircuit Drawing (SMD). As a replacement for 3.3 volt asynchronous SRAM, Aeroflex products will be 8-bit parallel I/O solutions in densities of 4M, 16M, and 64Mbit. All products are designed to operate from a single 3.3 volt supply. With data retention after each write of 20 years and infinite read/write endurance, Aeroflex MRAM products are ideal for working memory applications that require high rates of data overwrites.

Everspin introduces new 16 Mbit MRAM chips

EverSpin logoEverspin has announced a new MRAM chip (MR4A16B) with 16-megabit (Mb) density. Samples are available now, and mass-production will begin in July 2010. There are two options for the chips: commercial chips and industrial chips (that have a larger temperature range: -40°C to +85 °C). Everspin also promises to continue and deliver MRAM at increasingly higher densities.

This is the first time since the MRAM chips were introduced by Freescale in 2006 that they announce higher-density chips.

The MR4A16B is a 3.3-volt, parallel I/O chip that features fast 35 ns access times with unlimited read/write cycles. Data is always non-volatile after each write for more than 20 years. In addition, MRAM is immune to soft error rates associated with cosmic rays that impact other memories. The 16Mb MRAM is organized as 1,048,576 words of 16 bits. Pin and function-compatible with asynchronous SRAM, the MR4A16B targets industrial automation, robotics, network and data storage, multi-function printers and a host of other systems traditionally limited to SRAM-based designs.

Everspin introduces 1Mb 1.8V data interface MRAM for RAID storage applications

Everspin has a new prodcut - a dual-supply MRAM designed to directly interface with next-generation logic products requiring low voltage I/Os. RAID systems using advanced logic controllers operating with 1.8 volt I/Os will be able to seamlessly interface with this MRAM.

The MR0D08B dual supply MRAM product operates from a VDD main supply voltage of 3.0 to 3.6V and allows a wide, user defined I/O operating range by setting the VDDQ I/O supply voltage level from 1.65 to 3.6V. Typical applications using 1.8V logic controllers would set VDDQ at 1.8V to support direct connections between the controller and the MRAM, eliminating any requirements for level shifters. The devices are housed in a small footprint 8mm x 8mm, 48-BGA package with 0.75mm ball centers.

Everspin introduces new MRAM chips with a serial interface

EverSpin logoEverspin is introducing a new family of MRAM products, with a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus. The new family is called MR24H and includes 256Kb, 512Kb and 1Mb products. These Everspin MRAM devices require no write delay, run at clock speeds as fast as 40 MHz and have unlimited endurance with more than 20 years data retention.
