X-FAB and Anvo-Systems Dresden to deliver fast energy-efficient nvSRAM
The compact design results in a small silicon footprint that keeps device costs low. In this partnership, Anvo-Systems Dresden provides the IP and design expertise, and X-FAB provides the semiconductor manufacturing process, capacity and quality assurance. The new nvSRAM solutions are claimed to offer multiple cost and energy-saving advantages compared to traditional Flash and EEPROM solutions. nvSRAM combines the typical SRAM features with extremely robust, energy-efficient and cost-effective SONOS FLASH technology. The nvSRAM IP blocks come with unlimited and fast (20ns) read and write operation and a standard SRAM interface. A full parallel data backup up to 125Mb/s guarantees fast store operation. Because the energy for storage is gathered during the normal operation cycle, no additional customer control circuitry is needed. In addition, the compact design and small silicon footprint hold down device costs.
To guarantee stable and reliable production of the nvSRAM solutions, X-FAB has installed a dedicated 0.18 micrometer manufacturing process on 8-inch wafers optimized for highly reliable memories based on SONOS architecture. The special memory solutions developed by Anvo-Systems Dresden survive γ-ray sterilization.
