Austriamicrosystems says the embedded EEPROM blocks for its 0.35µm process mixed signal Asic family offer low power operation and high data retention over an extended temperature range due to its PMOS-based NV technology.
The EEPROM blocks contain a bus interface and internal charge pump. The NV process supports write currents of less than 100µA. Operation is at supply voltage ranges from 1.8V to 3.6V.
The memory cells can also be configured as EEPROM blocks or Flash memories without any process changes. Write currents of less than 100µA make the process suitable for mobile and RFID applications, said the supplier.
The memory blocks are available as an add-on process module to the 0.35µm CMOS process transferred from TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company). The memory IP blocks can be obtained from austriamicrosystems based on a one-time license fee.
Beside non-volatile EEPROM/Flash memories, austriamicrosystems also offers OTP blocks which can be combined on the same chip with no additional mask layers. These polyfuse blocks are one-time programmable at 3.3V operating voltage and offer very fast read access time of 50ns per byte.
