Cobham Semiconductor announce QML Q/Q+ certified MRAMs with IP from Everspin

Cobham Semiconductor (formerly Aeroflex Microelectronics Solutions – HiRel) announces QML Q/Q+ certification of their non-volatile products using Magnetoresistive Random-Access Memory (MRAM) intellectual property from Everspin Technologies, Inc. The MRAM-based product offering includes a 64Mbit device, UT8MR8M8, offered in a 40-lead quad flatpack with prototypes available now, and a 16Mbit device, UT8MR2M8, available in a 40-lead flatpack and in production. “Using an IP license from Everspin, Cobham Semiconductor Solutions has taken commercial MRAM technology and enhanced the IP for specialized aerospace and defense applications,” said Anthony Jordan, Cobham Semiconductor Solutions Vice-President Product Marketing and Applications Engineering. “Customers needed dense, low power, qualified non-volatile memory solutions with guaranteed total ionizing dose and single event hardness. Cobham was able to satisfy these requirements using commercial IP and proprietary design techniques to access new markets. We plan to continue leveraging Everspin IP in future product development.” MRAM technology provides a combination of fast access time, non-volatility, data retention and endurance. MRAM technology operates as an SRAM with non-volatile attributes. Aeroflex’s HiRel MRAM solutions are used with microprocessors, DSP engines, storage systems, instruments, and reconfigurable FPGAs....
