BriteXPM High Performance Embedded Non-Volatile Memory
BriteXPM is a family of higher performance embedded non-volatile memories; as much as 40% improvement in random access time is achieved from the XPM product line. Historically, Kilopass’ traditional XPM products are qualified with an accelerated voltage and temperature equivalent to more than 10 years of operating life under harsh environment. With additional guard banding, the certified XPM has a relatively slow performance of random access time, but can often out-live the silicon it is embedded in. While reassuring in military, industrial, or automotive applications, Kilopass has decided that another optimization is appropriate for consumer, computing, and mobile applications where performance is more important, thus the BriteXPM product family.
After eight years of silicon verification, Kilopass has gained enough field data to correlate actual performance to statistical & foundry models. With a setting modification to the database, as well as countless verification to optimize the guard band, Kilopass can deliver the same quality and reliability to consumer electronics customers with the BriteXPM product family.
BriteXPM is available in from 0.13um to 45nm at foundries including TSMC, Chartered, Dongbu, and SMIC. Many configuration are available now, more to roll out in Q3’09. Its configuration options include density, read voltage, program/read bus width, and charge pump.
