Embedded Non-Volatile Memory IP for Industrial Markets
Embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) technology has been integrated into industrial applications that require a reliable, highly secure storage with a minimum lifetime of 10 years. These applications include code storage for microcontrollers, configuration data for sensors and motor control, and security keys for secure industrial networks. Power control and other analog-intensive applications require calibration and trimming. Key non-volatile memory requirements are high density and fast access times for high performance. Typical NVM capacities for mobile applications range from 1kbit to +1Mbit and target all process nodes from 180nm and below.
