X-FAB launches embedded Flash solution
Summary
Fabricated on its high-voltage BCD-on-SOI XT011 platform, X-FAB can supply customers with an AECQ100 Grade-0 compliant 32kByte capacity embedded Flash IP, combined with an additional 4kbit EEPROM - all implemented on a 110nm semiconductor process node. By taking a unique approach, both the Flash and EEPROM elements are located inside a single macro and share the necessary control circuitry. This means a much simpler arrangement is realised, leading to a smaller overall footprint for the combined elements and setting a new industry benchmark for grade-0, 1750C capable, 32KBytes storage solution. Thanks to the combination of superior robustness characteristics, continued data storage integrity and significant space savings offered, this IP is designed to fit the requirements of automotive, medical and industrial applications. This IP will provide our customers with best-in-class data retention and temperature stability for embedded systems,” said Thomas Ramsch, Director NVM Development at X-FAB.
