Lucid Motors uses Everspin's MRAM in its latest Gravity EV SUV

Everspin Technologies announced that Lucid Motors has chosen the company's PERSYST MRAM technology to be used in its latest all-electric Gravity SUV. 

Lucid's Gravity uses Everspin's MR25H256A, a 256Kb serial MRAM. Everspin says it was selected because it meets the AEC Q100 Grade 1 specification of -40C to 125C temperature operation. The MRAM is used in the Gravity to handle data logging and parameter storage to assist in the efficient operation of the all-electric powertrain.

Efficient to utilize GlobalFroundries' 22 nm eMRAM technology in its upcoming Fabric chip

US-based Carnegie Mellon University spinoff Efficient has signed a strategic partnership with GlobalFoundries to launch its low-power Fabric chip on GlobalFoundries' 22FDX low power silicon on insulator process. Efficient will adopt embedded MRAM in its chip, and expects to launch it (first samples) by the summer of 2025.

Efficient is an early stage company that raised over $16 million to develop the power-efficient Fabric processor, targeting edge applications such as machine learning-enabled extreme-edge machine vision, continuous audio intelligence and versatile sensory and signals intelligence.

GlobalFoundries has been offering eMRAM 22nm process solutions since 2017, based on Everspin's pMTJ technology and IP.

Numem and IC’ALPS co-develop a custom MRAM-powered AI accelerator

High-performance STT-MRAM developer Numem announced that in collaboration with ASIC/SoC designer IC’ALPS it has developed an integrated circuit with RISC-V processors, 2MBytes of NuRAM and a DSP/AI Custom Datapath Accelerator.

The two companies co-developed the SoC in an advanced technology node, taking advance of the high-performance and low power consumption of Numem's memory technology. The company also details that the physical implementation of this integrated circuit was made in a secure space (isolated location, network, and servers, and encrypted exchanges) to meet with the stringent protection of sensitive data required by this program. Numem and IC’Alps intend to extend their partnership to serve new SoC projects for customers.
