FreescaleFreescale is providing MRAM non-volatile memory technology for environmentally harsh applications, such as military, aerospace, industrial and automotive systems. Angstrom Aerospace recently announced the use of Freescale's extended temperature range 4Mbit MRAM in its magnetometer subsystem, which will be launched into space on board a Japanese research satellite.Angstrom Aerospace is using Freescale's MRAM in its Tohoku-AAC MEMS Unit (TAMU), a magnetometer subsystem for the Japanese research satellite called SpriteSat. In developing the Satellite subsystem, Angstrom Aerospace worked closely with Dr. Johan Akerman, a renowned Swedish professor of material physics and applied spintronics at the Royal Institute of Technology.
E2v redesigns Freescale MRAM for the military
Submitted by mram on Thu, 07/02/2008 - 17:59. Freescale | Technical / ResearchE2v has introduced an MRAM which is an extended-reliability version of the MR2A16A from Freescale Semiconductor.
The EV2A16A operates at SRAM speeds with symmetrical 35ns read and write cycles. Its standard SRAM interface allows a seamless system integration of this memory device by directly connecting to standard memory controllers.
“The EV2A16A is the first device of a new family that is scheduled to be offered with higher screening grades for this 4Mbit device. The company also plans to introduce higher density products within the coming months,” said Eric Marcelot, marketing manager at e2v.
The EV2A16A is available in a standard 44-lead TSOP type II package in both extended (-40 to +110 deg C) and military (-55 to +125 deg C) temperature ranges.

Freescale expands MRAM Line with World's First 4Mbit Extended Temperature nvRAM and Freescale's First 1Mb Commercial Product
Submitted by mram on Mon, 18/06/2007 - 14:42. Freescale | MRAM production
Freescale Semiconductor has expanded its award-winning MRAM family with the world’s first 3-volt 4Mbit extended temperature range (-40 to +105°C) non-volatile RAM (nvRAM) product. This device enables entry into more rugged application environments, such as industrial, military and aerospace and automotive designs. Freescale also has broadened its commercial MRAM line with a 1Mbit device, offering system designers a density option that addresses the “sweet spot” of the mainstream embedded market. In addition, Freescale plans to expand its MRAM product family to include a total of nine commercial, industrial and extended temperature products during the third quarter of 2007.
