pMTJ STT-MRAM developer Avalanche Technology announced that it is providing its Space Grade Persistent SRAM (P-SRAM) STT-MRAM products for satellite-based storage systems developed by RAiTEK. 

RAiTEK has designed in a 16Mb device from Avalanche's Gen 2 Space Grade family to monitor data stream status, and a 1Gb Gen 3 Space Grade to support large configuration images for the onboard FPGA used in the drives, as part of their growing portfolio of data storage and processing solutions for the space industry.

High-performance STT-MRAM developer Numem announced that it has secured a Series A funding round, with investments from Cambium Capital and Doorga Capital. The company did not detail the investment amount.

In 2020, Numem announced that it has been selected for a NASA AI project, for which the company will supply its Numem NuRAM MRAM-based Memory.

NETSOL released new 1Mb to 32Mb serial and 1Mb to 64Mb parallel STT-MRAM products through the Samsung Electronics Foundry.

NETSOL MRAM products are ideal for applications that need to store and retrieve data quickly and frequently due to STT-MRAM's virtually unlimited endurance and fast-write features. Ideal for code storage, data logging, backup and working memory in industrial devices/ equipment, it can replace NOR Flash, FeRAM, low-power SRAM and nvSRAM products, among others with unmatched performance and non-volatile features.

NETSOL STT-MRAM products provide fast read and write features without a delay in recording and storing data even when the system is powered off, and is cost-effective by enabling compact systems without the need for batteries or capacitors based on its non-volatile features.

pMTJ STT-MRAM developer Avalanche Technology announced that its Gen-3 Space Grade Dual QSPI solution is now available in pre-production.

The devices are based on the company's latest generation STT-MRAM technology. Avalanche says that the new devices offer significant density, endurance, reliability, and power benefits, over existing memory solutions for aerospace and defense applications, particularly for easily configuring advanced SoCs and FPGAs, which are known to present complex design challenges.

Hprobe, a developer of testing equipment for magnetic devices, announced a new addition to its product line, the RF Pulse Module. The company says that this is the commercially available testing system to both collect statistics of error rate of the memory unit cell and take a deep look into switching dynamics of resistive memories.

Hprobe says that the RF Pulse Module is two orders of magnitude faster than existing devices and can help increase manufacturing yields. Hprobe has already begun shipping to tier-1 companies and major research institutes around the world.

Earlier this year, Everspin Technologies announced that it aims to build a new production line in the state of Indiana, US, that will increase Everspin's production capacity for both Toggle MRAM and STT-MRAM. The company is working with state and federal government sources to secure funding for the new production line.

Everspin says it also plans to work with the local research community to enhance domestic research for MRAM technology development, creating a Technology Development Center at the proposed Indiana-based location. Everspin says that it is the only US-based commercial manufacturer of MRAM devices today, and increasing its capacity in the US is of strategic importance to its commercial and US Government partners.

Everspin Technologies announced reported its financial results for Q3 2022, with revenues of $15.2 million (close to the end of its guidance, and up 3% from last year) and a net income of $1.9 million.

Everspin says that its product backlog remains strong, but customer inventory adjustments will have an impact on the backlog in coming quarters. The company continues to relieve its supply chain constraints, which is helping to address its unfulfilled toggle MRAM demand.

Earlier this year, Everspin Technologies announced its latest STT-MRAM devices, the EMxxLX xSPI serial interface memory. The company now announced that the EMxxLX devices are now commercially available.

The EMxxLX family is the only memory device offering density up to 64Mb, octal interface with 400MB/s bandwidth, and compatibility with the xSPI standard. The EMxxLX features 1000X faster write times compared to NOR flash.

pMTJ STT-MRAM developer Avalanche Technology announced that its latest 3rd-Gen MRAM devices are now in production at its foundry partner, United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC). The company says that its new MRAM chips offer significant density, endurance, reliability and power benefits over existing non-volatile solutions.

Avalanche's new Parallel x 32 series is offered as a standard product in various density options and has asynchronous SRAM-compatible read/write timings. Avalanche also says that it will soon start developing 16Gb MRAM chips.
