Nonvolatile memory family delivers high-speed, high-reliability performance

Cypress Semiconductor has a new serial nonvolatile memory family that offers superior performance and reliability for mission-critical data capture. The Excelon F-RAM family produces high-speed nonvolatile data logging, preventing data-loss even in harsh automotive and industrial operating environments over extreme temperatures. The Excelon Auto series offers 2Mb to 4Mb automotive-grade densities, while the Excelon Ultra series offers 4Mb to 8Mb industrial-grade densities. Both families are offered in low pin count small package options making them perfect for a wide range of advanced automotive and industrial applications. “The ability to instantly capture the last event data in automotive data recorders is a game-changer in crash forensics, especially with the increased deployment of semi- and fully-autonomous vehicles,” said Sam Geha, corporate executive vice president of the Memory Products Division at Cypress. “Additionally, Industry 4.0 deployments require high speed, high-reliability data-logging to ensure system up-time while improving efficiencies. Failure is not an option when dealing with data this valuable and mission-critical. Our new Excelon F-RAM devices outperform competing nonvolatile memories with instant nonvolatility, high speed, high endurance and low power modes, making them the ideal choice to capture and protect the most critical data in advanced factory automation and industrial IoT systems.” Embedded World, Hall 4A, Stand 148
