SnapXPM Embedded Non-Volatile Memory

Kilopass Technology's Extra Permanent Memory or XPM technology is built using standard, commercially available CMOS logic process technologies and is silicon proven to deliver high density, high performance, and highly reliable electrically field-programmable embedded NVM solutions at a low cost. Over 60 customers have integrated XPM in over 150 designs from 180nm to 45nm. Applications range from a few hundred bits for unique ID to prevent cloning to multiple instances of 1Mb for program code storage. Many of the designs up to 90nm are ramping up to high volume production or have been in high volume production since 2003.

 

SnapXPM is a library of 50 most often requested XPM configurations from 180nm to 65nm. All 50 instances in SnapXPM have completed a stringent characterization and qualification process. All 50 instances in SnapXPM have been designed in and have working silicon, many of which are in production.

 

Given the variety of process nodes, foundry, and configurations in SnapXPM, Kilopass enables architects and designers to embed XPM in applications including content protection, code storage, ROM patching, and IC configuration applications such as memory repair, chip and wafer identification, feature selection, analog trimming, and analog calibration.
