Cypress Introduces the Industry’s First 4Mb Serial F-RAM

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 29, 2015 – Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today introduced a family of 4Mb serial Ferroelectric Random Access Memories (F-RAMs™), which are the industry’s highest density serial F-RAMs. The 4Mb serial F-RAMs feature a 40-Mhz Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), a 2.0V to 3.6V operating voltage range and are available in industry-standard, RoHS-compliant package options. All Cypress F-RAMs provide 100-trillion read/write cycle endurance with 10-year data retention at 85?C and 151 years at 65?C. 

Cypress F-RAMs are ideal solutions for applications requiring continuous and frequent high-speed reading and writing of data with absolute data security. The 4Mb serial F-RAM family addresses mission-critical applications such as industrial controls and automation, industrial metering, multifunction printers, test and measurement equipment and medical wearables.

“Mission-critical systems require high-performance memories that can capture data instantly and reliably on power loss,” said Rainer Hoehler, Vice President of the Nonvolatile Products Business Unit at Cypress. “Cypress’s new 4Mb F-RAM family delivers absolute data security with the industry’s highest-density serial F-RAM devices.” 

Availability

The 4Mb serial F-RAMs are sampling today in industry-standard 8EIAJ and 8TDFN packages, with production expected in the fourth quarter of 2015. Learn more about the 4Mb F-RAM family at www.cypress.com/4MbFRAM.

About Cypress F-RAMs

Cypress offers a broad portfolio of F-RAM products with densities from 4Kb to 4Mb and supply voltages from 2.0V to 5.5V. Cypress F-RAMs feature virtually unlimited endurance of one-hundred trillion read and write cycles, making them an ideal solution for write-intensive applications. F-RAM is the industry’s most energy efficient nonvolatile RAM solution; the F-RAM cell is inherently low power and operates without a charge pump. Cypress F-RAM is an ideal solution for applications requiring high-performance, high-reliability, low-cost nonvolatile memory solutions, including automotive, industrial, computing, networking, smart meter, and multifunction printer applications. More information about Cypress’s portfolio of F-RAM products is available at www.cypress.com/nonvolatile.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
